“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!”
What Megan is describing is our technique: Torque Release Technique (TRT) — one of the most research-supported techniques in chiropractic today.
Using a series of gentle pressure checks along the spine, combined with the Achilles deep tendon reflex, our Doctors are able to pinpoint exactly where adjustments are needed. This removes all guesswork and ensures accuracy and consistency at every visit, no matter which doctor is adjusting you.
This precise approach played a major role in Megan’s healing. She shared:
“After a month, the tremors had all but stopped, my migraines are almost non-existent, and I can sleep through the night because I am not in pain. I take half the amount of ibuprofen that I had before — maybe once a week. Everyone should try chiropractic — ESPECIALLY if they’re on medications — to be able to come off of them and heal from the inside out. I have already recommended many veterans to Authority Chiropractic, and I’m working on my husband too!”
Megan’s experience is powerful — but it’s not unusual in our office. It represents what is possible when you address the root cause rather than chasing symptoms.
She understands the impact a healthy, well-functioning nervous system has on her life, and she still comes to her weekly appointments to this day. At Authority Chiropractic, we are committed to more than simply managing pain. We are here to provide hope, clarity, and a path toward true healing.
Megan’s story is a reminder of what happens when nervous system interference is removed and the body is allowed to do what it was designed to do: heal from the inside out.
