Our Daughter's Headaches are Gone
Brooke's Story...
"Our daughter, Brooke, began experiencing severe headaches at age 4. These headaches were so severe that each time she experienced one she would end up vomiting several times until the headache subsided. The frequency of these headaches ranged anywhere from five a week to only one or two a month. The only remedy that we could find for the headache was sleep and lots of it. It was not uncommon for Brooke to get a headache at noon and spend the remainder of the day in bed whimpering in pain. Seeing our daughter in such pain was very heartbreaking, not only because we felt helpless, but also because this is not how a childhood should be spent. She should have more energy than the two of us combined and spend these wasted hours exploring, playing, and just being a kid.
Prior to Brooke starting school, these headaches kept us from doing many family activities due to the fear that a headache would surface and we would be too far from home. Once in school, a whole new problem developed. Brooke was coming home from school way to often because of the headaches. Even through Brooke was a "straight A" student, her teacher and principal have state standards that must be followed for attendance and Brooke was not meeting these. During Brooke's struggle with these headaches she had been seen by our family doctor and five different neurologists over a 4 year time span. After enduring what seemed like every medical test created, the only answers that my wife and I ever received were; a) she will grow out of it b) let's try this prescription. Brooke tried several different medications and at one point was even on three different medications at the same time, all proved to be unsuccessful.
It was at this point that my wife and I decided to try chiropractic. During our first visit with Dr. Dean Haldeman he noticed that Brooke's neck alignment was way off and that this could definitely cause headaches. He made a few adjustments to Brooke that day and we scheduled some weekly visits to maintain the alignment. The results were immediate and quite amazing. Right away we noticed that the severity of her headaches began to decrease. She was not vomiting from the headache and she could lay down for an hour or so and the headache would go away. Much better than the full day in bed that we were used to. We were so happy with the results that we removed Brooke from all of her medications.
Over time the frequency of the headaches drastically decreased as well. We are now at a point where a monthly visit with Dr. Dean for an adjustment keeps her headaches away. We are so happy to see our daughter able to have a normal childhood without medications. Thank you Dr. Dean!" - Kyle
I Can Run Without Ankle Pain Again
Angela's Story...
"It was in May of 2006 that I learned the true depth of chiropractic. Until then, I thought chiropractic only restored the spine to proper alignment. I had been visiting a chiropractor on an infrequent basis for years, but had never seen my doctor adjust an ankle, a knee or a wrist. As the spring weather improved that year, I “itched” to get outside for my first run of the season. However, I had not been able to run for more than 5 months due to the residual effect of a bad fall that I had right before the holidays of the previous year. I had tried to jog on the treadmill on multiple occasions over the winter, but the pain in my foot was unbearable. Deep down I feared that I may never be able to run again without pain.
The fall that December had been much worse than any previous. The bruise encompassing my ankle was the deepest shade of purple and the swelling didn’t subside for a week. Looking back, it was ridiculous that I didn’t seek medical attention immediately, but I feared having a broken ankle and enduring a cast during the holidays and the winter. Within a few weeks, I was back to my regular spinning classes and workout routine. However, with any impact on my ankle or foot the pain was crippling. I speculated that the source of pain was a broken bone that had healed incorrectly due to my negligence.
At this visit to my chiropractor in May 2006, I mentioned to him that I hadn’t been able to run outside this spring due to the pain in my ankle. He asked for more details and within seconds was examining my ankle. He told me that he found a misalignment and fixation of the ankle joint, but I don’t remember anything except the release of tension. It was as if someone had untied the knot in my inner foot that I had suffered with for months. It was then that I learned that chiropractic can restore the health of the spine and to all other joints in the body. The fear of never running pain free vanished that day and my confidence in chiropractic multiplied." - Angela
