Patient Name: Sarah M. Age: 34 Occupation: Graphic Designer Before Chiropractic Care For over two years, Sarah had been dealing with frequent headaches—often starting as a dull pressure behind her eyes and escalating to throbbing pain at her temples by mid-afternoon. On average, she experienced headaches 4–5 times a week, especially after long hours at her desk. OTC pain relievers provided only temporary relief, and she began to feel increasingly frustrated and drained, both mentally and physically. She had visited her primary care physician, who ruled out more serious conditions and diagnosed her with tension headaches likely due to posture, stress, and screen time. Physical therapy and stretching exercises offered minimal improvement, and she was hesitant to rely on medication long term. A coworker suggested she visit a chiropractor. After Consistent Chiropractic Care (3 Months In) Sarah began seeing a chiropractor who performed a thorough assessment, including a digital posture analysis. Her chiropractor discovered restricted movement and misalignments in her cervical spine (neck region), likely contributing to the muscle tension and nerve irritation causing her headaches. Over the course of three months, Sarah received regular adjustments—starting at twice per week, then tapering to once weekly. Her care plan also included ergonomic advice, targeted stretches, and lifestyle recommendations to support spinal health. By the end of the first month, Sarah noticed a reduction in headache frequency. By month three, she was experiencing headaches only once or twice a month—and those she described as “mild and manageable.” She reported improved posture, better focus at work, and improved sleep quality. Today Now six months into care, Sarah continues with monthly maintenance adjustments. She rarely experiences headaches, no longer relies on medication, and feels more in control of her health. She describes chiropractic as “the turning point” in her wellness journey.
