My doctors had tried almost every conventional form of pain management available including medication, biofeedback, physical therapy, massage therapy, and Botox injections with little success. Although many of these therapies showed some initial relief of pain, no treatment plan had any long-term effects. I started missing more and more school, and by the time I entered high school, my migraines had increased in severity and frequency. I was placed on homebound twice in my high school career. Stress became a leading trigger of my migraine headaches perpetuating the cycle and steering me farther off course of my goal of going to college.

Understandably, when I first heard of NUCCA chiropractic therapy as a treatment for migraine headaches, I was skeptical of its effectiveness. I was unaware that chiropractic therapy served any purpose outside of treatment for postural corrections. It wasn’t until I met with Dr. Laneville and learned more about the mechanics behind cervical manipulation that I finally felt comfortable with the treatment plan. The key to the treatment that Dr. Laneville provides is that it is not simply pain management; it is a solution to the pain. The cervical adjustments are painless, a fact that is very reassuring to a chronic pain sufferer like myself. The results of the adjustments were immediate. My tolerance to stressors like physical activity has dramatically increased and, more importantly, my headaches have decreased in frequency and severity. My neurologist has been so impressed with my progress that he has taken me off of several migraine preventative medications that I had been on for years. 

I have been a patient of Dr. Laneville’s for almost a year now, and I can say without a doubt that the treatment I have received has enabled me to live my life to its full potential. My tolerance to stressors like physical activity has dramatically increased. I know this is a bold statement to make, but I truly believe in the significance of chiropractic therapy in the treatment of migraine headaches and am eager to share my experiences with other migraine sufferers. Dr. Laneville’s extensive background in NUCCA chiropractic therapy is the reason I started seeing him, but his honesty and accessibility are why I continue to see him for my ongoing care. Thank you Dr. Laneville and the Laneville Family Chiropractic’s staff for all that you do.
