Today i was sitting in class, and the left side of my vision suddenly got cloudy. (kind of like when you look into a light and you get those little dark spots…except it was much worse than that), and it kept getting worse, so i went to the school nurse. She thought it was a problem with my contact lens, but it wasn’t. It eventually went away, and i got a massive headache. The pain was/is only on the right side of my head, from right above my eye to about my ear.
I took advil(ibuprofen) because that’s all i had at school, even though i know tylenol is better for headaches. The pain got a little better, but it’s still kind of there as a dull ache, and whenever i move my head quickly it hurts.
My mom and my brother both get migraines….

What is chiropractic medicine? It is a treatment that assists in restoring balance, healing and energy throughout the body. When our bodies lack balance, the hormonal and stress response system are affected. Thus, chiropractic medicine works by alleviating pressure on the nerve roots of the spine, helping to relieve discomfort. It detects dislocation (subluxation) and promotes correction by encouraging the function, repair, coordination and communication of the nervous system. Chiropractic medicine is a non-invasive drug-free treatment that is performed by a chiropractor.
