Prior to stepping into Dr. Slovin’s office, I admit that I was skeptical of chiropractic care. I had suffered from extreme migraines for several years & hadn’t had a menstrual period in almost two years.
My migraines usually required a cocktail of drugs including injections & forced me to miss at least 1 day of work at every occurrence. The symptoms that occurred with my migraines were almost as bad as the pain. My vision was blurred, my speech slurred, they were totally incapacitating.
I had been to see three neurologists in three different states who told me the same thing- we can’t do any more for you. Similarly, the absence of my period for almost two years did not seem to alarm any of the gynecologists I saw.
Without an active eating disorder, or a family history, and considering I was on birth control, none of the gynecologists seemed to think that it was a problem that I didn’t get a period. "If it doesn’t bother you, it doesn’t bother me," was a direct quote from one doctor. Since seeing Dr. Slovin, for roughly only two and half months, I have not had one migraine and have regained my menstrual period.
Headaches that normally would have escalated into a migraine have just dissipated with some ibuprofen. Although the verdict is still out on whether I am happy to have my period back, at least I know now that I am able to have children and my body is capable of producing an actual menstrual cycle.
My life has most certainly changed! The care I received from the first day I came to the office is far superior to any I have received anywhere else. The knowledge, care, and true desire to make people well, sets them apart from the rest!
