Drs. James and Jill Winget Raleigh, NC

Name: Cheryl Y
Major Complaint: Hyperthyroidism

Lower back pain and a stiff neck were the main reasons I made a chiropractic appointment. At the time, I was taking medication (5mg of tapuzole) for hyperthyroidism. The duration of the neck stiffness and back pain was years and the pain increasing gradually. The hyperthyroidism was diagnosed in spring in 2002.

I did not see any other doctors for my neck and lower back pain. The stiffness in my neck is gone along with the achyness in my back. I can do household chores or field work in my profession without pain. I would use over the counter medications for relief. I still see an endocrinologist for my hyperthyroidism, my appointments have been reduced from 3 months to 6 months and I have been off my medication for a year.
