Megan’s Story: Finding Hope Through Neurologically Based Chiropractic Care

“As a veteran, I have dealt with a variety of issues for many years. Hip pain, chronic migraines, and tremors so severe that I was unable to write or hold a glass of water without spilling. My hip pain was unbearable, and my migraines became debilitating; I had to miss many days of work because I could hardly function, much less drive. After physical therapy failed to provide relief, I underwent extensive surgery for my hip. The VA is trying to combat drug addiction, so as a veteran I was given no pain medication, save for ibuprofen. I was taking 1500–2000mg of ibuprofen per day. I was getting Botox injections for my migraines, and my tremors were treated with blood pressure and seizure medications which only made me feel worse.” This was the reality of life for Megan Tamez before she walked through our doors in 2018. If you’ve ever lived with chronic pain, you know how quickly it can take over every part of your life. The things that once brought joy begin to feel like chores. Basic daily tasks require more effort, more time, and more energy than you feel you have. It’s easy to lose hope when the only solutions you’ve been offered are heavy medications, invasive procedures, or simply “learning to live with it.” Many of our practice members come to us at this very point—exhausted, discouraged, and desperately searching for something that will finally bring relief. That same sense of desperation is what led Megan to try neurologically based chiropractic care for the very first time. She recalls: “I had never been to a chiropractor before and was willing to try anything. The office is open and relaxing, and the staff is very friendly; they welcome me by name! The Doctors listen, and what’s more is I don’t have to explain anything. He talks to my body and fixes it — AMAZING!”
