Ann suffered from daily headaches and migraines for over 20 years. After a detailed Gonstead chiropractic examination and full-spine X-ray analysis, Dr. Rahim found multiple areas of spinal misalignment including an old tailbone injury, sacral involvement, mid-back compensation, and cervical nerve pressure.

For over 20 years, Ann suffered from daily headaches and recurring migraines that became progressively worse after her first pregnancy.

Despite medications, Motrin, and countless attempts to manage the pain, she continued waking up every morning with a headache. Coffee became part of her daily routine simply to get through the day.

In this first visit, Dr. Rahim performs a comprehensive Gonstead chiropractic examination, including a full-spine X-ray analysis, and discovers multiple areas of spinal misalignment and nerve pressure including:

✔️ Old tailbone injury
✔️ S5 sacral subluxation
✔️ T7 mid-back involvement
✔️ C7 cervical involvement
✔️ Shoulder imbalance
✔️ Ankle misalignment

Dr. Rahim also explains:

• Different types of headaches and migraines
• Why compensation patterns develop in the spine
• The body’s spinal defense mechanisms
• The difference between a Base Posterior Sacrum, L5 Retrolisthesis, and Spondylolisthesis
• How these conditions may influence the lower lumbar discs

This is Episode 1 of Ann’s healing journey.

My gasts were flabbered when she said she had her first child 20 years ago, I would have guessed she was around like 30 😮

can we do a followup video with this patient? As a Chiropractic student I'm super interested to see how well long term results are maintained post-adjustment

When you have daily pain it must be so nice to see someone who is upbeat and interested in addition to knowledgeable

I have to make it a point to have at least one visit with Dr. Rahim. I have a spinal injury, doctors say a degenerative disc, that's been getting worse over the years and probably can't be corrected. However, whatever else that could possibly be corrected to reduce the stress and pain of my spine will be a huge benefit.

Please do a follow-up--us chronic migraine sufferers would love to follow her journey!

I appreciated how everything was explained step by step instead of jumping straight into treatment. A thorough assessment makes a huge difference.

For any Gen X women, those base-of-the-skull headaches can also be from perimenopause.

The way she discusses where her headache is located and how it began after having her first child, I would worry about chiari malformation.
Thoughts on that condition and the risks of chiropractic care? As someone who suffers from that, I was always told to avoid chiropractic care, which stinks because I have a lot of other pain issues that I really would love to be treated.
