Chiropractic Care and Headache: My Personal Experience How Chiropractic Changed My Life

 Chiropractic Care and Headache: My Personal Experience How Chiropractic Changed My Life


I experienced headaches on a monthly basis and it got more frequent last year. 

How frequent?

At least twice a month. 

Aging people issues 😅


While there are many types of headaches out there, mine was mostly this tightness-feel-like-head-wanna-burst on the left, accompanied by a stiff neck and back muscle.

Not sure if it's a migraine but there are no other typical migraine symptoms besides just the headache.

And it would last for days.

The normal panadol doesn't really work so usually, I would take Panadol Xtra, yes, the one with caffeine, to help with the pain. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.

Then I tried taking NSAID with a muscle relaxant (to help with my muscle stiffness). It helps to some extent but it does take 2-3 days for the headache to go away.

Since taking painkillers doesn't really help with my condition, I started to research alternative approaches and became quite interested in chiropractic so I visited Chiropractor First Sunway Velocity.

My Experience With Chiropractic

Let me tell you, CHIROPRACTIC SAVE MY LIFE. lol.

From after my first adjustment till now, more than 2 months later, I only had 1 episode of headache and have stopped popping painkillers like it's candy.

How amazing is that!?!?!

From time to time, I do experience shoulder & neck stiffness (still on the left side, probably because of sleep position?) but not until I need to take a painkiller.

What Is The Process Like and How Much Was It?

The 1st session is a consultation and you'll have to do an X-ray (off-site) that cost me almost RM400. 

Ouch. But sokay, I consider it as an investment for my health. Ayat pujuk diri duit melayang.

Some other centers might not do an X-ray but if you really want to get better & see improvement, I would recommend centers that do their adjustment/treatment based on your X-ray result. 

The 2nd session is where the doctor will review your X-ray and suggest a care plan depending on your condition.

According to my X-ray, my pelvis is slightly tilted so my left leg is a little bit shorter. Some evidence of wear & tear in my left shoulder joint, some stage 2 lumbar spine bone spur, and apparently, my cervical spine (neck) is too straight when it's supposed to have a slight curvature ðŸ˜…


After my 1st adjustment, the doctor did mention that I'll probably have headaches in the next few days. Some patients will feel tired/sleepy, some will feel very fresh. 

True enough, I experienced a massive headache that night. Took a painkiller, went to sleep and headache gone the next morning. 

I have to come for adjustments 2-3 times a week, each session cost me about RM100. 

I know, my pocket is crying too but again, investment for health.

But actually, I really do look forward to the sessions. I feel so refreshed after each adjustment. The attending doctor & their staff is very friendly and so easy to deal with which make the experience even more pleasant.

Would I recommend Chiropractic Care?

A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y!

Especially if your work is desk-bound and being sedentary most of the time. You'll most likely experience some sort of postural issues i.e neck, shoulder, back pain.

Chiropractor care is a great alternative to conventional treatments.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

CPPS Shemale?

Shemale ke?? Nothing related. Just that I like this pic and how I picture myself when looking at my phone. Walaupun CPPS jarang ngepost cerita pasal Tinder, tak semestinya CPPS tak main Tinder lagi. Sesekali bila bosan, iols swipe-swipe la jugak kiri kanan kan. Saje bagi jari-jemari lemah gemalai ni bersenam sikit. Kekadang tu saje la kan nak networking. Tapi setakat tu je la kan. Sebab up to a certain point, Tinder ni bosan jugak. You have to put up with a lot of small talks, shallow conversations and jerks who think with their dicks. So biasanya bila uols sama-sama swipe right tu, maka uols dah connected and boleh lah mula mengejas. Biasanya si jantan akan text "Hey" Lepas tu uols pun reply "Hey. How are you?" Lepas tu krik-krik 2-3 bulan. Ataupun "Hey" "Hey. How are you?" "Good good. And you" "Great. What do you do for a living" dah macam interview keje kan. Ada satu soalan ni ULTIMATE TIN...

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City

The Perfect Staycation For An Introvert: The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, A Lush Sanctuary In The City  I absolutely love staycations and almost always prefer places that are quiet, intimate with lots of greens.  Like a resort in the middle of the city. But to find one with an affordable rate in Kuala Lumpur city is quite a challenge. I happened to have a work-related thing in The Saujana Hotel and fell in love. Told myself that I will come back to spend a night (or two) here. The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur Nestled in 160 hectares of lush gardens is a luxury resort-style hotel, located in the suburbs and next to a golf course somewhere in Subang/Shah Alam. It's the perfect place for a rejuvenating weekend when you want to be away from the hustle-bustle of the city but still located in the city. J ust minutes away from Subang Airport. I love that it's near to   Citta Mall , Subang Parade and Empire Subang Shopping Gallery .  So you know, I got a lot of F&B options...

Footprints In The Sand

This is my favourite story of Jesus One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.  Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.  Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.  Other times there were one set of footprints.  This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life  When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,  I could see only one set of footprints.  So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,  That if I followed you, you would walk with me always.  But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life  There have only been one set of prints in the sand.  Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied,  "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints  Is when I carried you." When times are tough, when you feel so lonely and ho...
