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.

Perlu Ke Fat Burner Kalau Nak Kurus?

Perlu Ke Fat Burner Kalau Nak Kurus? Seringkali saya diajukan soalan  "Okay tak fat burner ni?" "Apa fat burner terbaik kalau nak kurus?" "Perlu ke ambik fat burner kalau nak kurus?" "Ish tak bahaya ke?" Sebelum ni iols pernah sentuh sedikit cerita pasal fat burner KAT SINI . Apa Itu Fat Burner? Fat burner ni adalah supplement yang sering digunakan untuk membakar lemak. Kebanyakkan fat burner yang terdapat di pasaran adalah bersifat termogenik. Apa Itu Termogenik? Ianya adalah proses peningkatan metabolisme badan. Apabila metabolisme badan tinggi --> lebih banyak kalori akan dibakar. Contohnya: Tanpa fat burner   : penggunaan kalori harian 2000kcal Dengan fat burner : penggunaan kalori harian 2200kcal Jadi, fat burner ni sebenarnya bukanlah membakar lemak secara langsung. Bukan makan je terus lemak uols tu cair gitu tau.  Antara bahan-bahan termogenik yang biasanya digunakan dalam fat burner adalah seperti kafein, guara

Bukanlah tidak pernah plan untuk berjumpa tetapi setiap kali tu ada aral melintang, masing-masing sibuk dengan kehidupan sendiri. Yang tak boleh blah tu, HGW siap pesan dengan CPPS. "We can meet, you know, go out and have coffee but with ONE CONDITION." Uishhh ada condition you. Takut kiteeee. "Jangan cerita pasal I dalam blog you." KAH! Okay tapi tak jadi jumpa punnnn. That was a year ago. Nak dijadikan cerita, baru-baru ni HGW berada di darat dan CPPS pulak tengah emosi masalah dunia. So HGW dengan baik hati offer bawak iols kelu
