“I was suffering from debilitating migraines…”
/in , , , , , /by

Following a snowboarding accident I started to suffer from severe migraines and neck pain. At times the neck was hurting so much, it was keeping me awake at night. I was suffering from debilitating migraines at least twice a month.

In the past 2 years I saw a sports and musculoskeletal medicine specialist and 3 different physiotherapists. These treatments didn’t leave a mark on my almost daily neck pain and headaches.

I love exercise. I enjoy swimming, pilates, running, gym and box-aerobics. But the pain often used to get worse during and after exercise.

I was so frustrated by lack of any progress, when one of my colleagues recommended that I should see Vitalis.

I’m enjoying life so much more now. I said good-bye to all the painkillers. After suffering for such a long time, it feels so great to be pain free! I can concentrate at work again, I enjoy my exercise so much more, and overall I’m much more balanced and happy.

“Vitalis has done wonders for me in such a short time” Tony Manga

After many years of osteopathic, chiropractic and the occasional physiotherapy treatment for chronic neck pain I was desperate to find some relief. I have spent thousands of dollars for specialists, doctors and of course pain killers. Nothing against any of the above treatments, but no one could pin point the cause of pain or treat other symptoms that affected my chronic neck pain and migraine headaches. Read more

“My headaches would wake me several times a night” James Hardy

I was suffering from a severe headache that just wouldn’t go away. It felt as if it was moving around in my head, but would never stop. My headaches would wake me several times a night, and although pain killers would lighten the intensity, the headaches persisted.

Because of a lack of sleep I felt extremely exhausted and depressed. It felt as if I was going mad. I couldn’t even have a normal conversation. This sudden, sharp pain in my head, would make me lose the train of thought.

I was desperate. I’ve consulted my regular GP several times to no avail. I’ve seen an osteopath several times as well. Osteopath seemed to help my neck problem, but it didn’t make a dent in the severe headaches. I was devastated, and no one could fix my headaches. My wife suggested that I see Vitalis after witnessing a speedy recovery of a colleague at work.

After months of suffering, I am relieved from the headache. It’s absolute bliss to have a good night’s rest. And this only after 3 sessions of acupuncture. Next time I won’t linger before consulting Vitalis, this experience was a real eye-opener.

I’d recommend Vitalis without hesitation to anyone suffering from headaches. Even if you are suffering from something else and haven’t yet tried acupuncture with Vitalis, my recommendation is pick up the phone and give him a ring now.
