Dr. Craig French Durham, NC

Months of Migraines

Yvonne has been a patient since 1998. She heard about Dr. French from members of her Church. She was suffering from migraines as well as some challenges with her right knee. She was then working in an office and sitting at a desk all day. She was taking 600-800 mg of Motrin for her migraines. She wanted to find a better way.

A month after starting care Yvonne noticed some real results. Her knee improved greatly, and the frequency of her migraines was greatly reduced. She also noticed that if she came to the office with a migraine the intensity of it was reduced by 50%-75% by the time she left the office, and the migraines were completely gone a few hours later, without drugs.

Now Yvonne comes to the office for wellness care and education. She has learned more about her body and how it reacts to stress. She has learned what can trigger a migraine and how to avoid those triggers. Her body is healthier and can recover more quickly than in the past. In fact, in October she was feeling a little bit run down, like she was "fighting off a cold or something". This went on for 4 to 5 weeks. She went to her PCP and found out that the "Cold" she was fighting off was mono. Her immune system was working so well that she didn't even realize that she had mono.

She shared chiropractic with her family, and was under care throughout her pregnancy. Her son, Darius, started care when he was 4 weeks old. Darius has never had an ear infection, is sick less often that most children his age and recovers much more quickly if he does get sick. In fact, after having heart surgery last year, Darius recovered in 4 days when average recovery is 5 to 10 days.

Yvonne continues to visit the office with her son; not only for adjustments, but also for the education she receives. She feels better informed about health issues that affect her family. She feels prepared to make health decisions for her family and know that Dr. French will respect her choices.
