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.

Gym Is My Boyfriend

So the other day my partner in crime tag me in a photo that she says reminds her of me. It described me to a T. Gym is not my new boyfriend. It always has been my boyfriend.   Unlike most guys that I met, the gym does not give empty promises, does not disappoint, never demands, always leaves you satisfied, made me feel beautiful and sexy, made me a better person physically, mentally, and emotionally.  And never try to get into my panties. I'm such a gym junkie that most of the time, I schedule my social life, even dating around my fitness classes.  I clicked with a guy on Tinder. Despite the fact that he's obviously just wanted to get into my pants, we got on really well pretty fast and he really wanted to see me. My typical response to anyone who wanted a slice of my time would be  "I'll only be free on Monday and Thursday evenings. Other days I'll be working and gyming. If you really want to see me, it's either after gym or you come to my workp...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants.  I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date.  Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date.  1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression.  You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine.  No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour.  Use cologn...
