KST A to Z
Fibromyalgia/cranial nerve adjustment
Chris Musacchio, DC
Harrisburg, North Carolina
Amy is a 32-year-old female with fibromyalgia-like symptoms and chronic headaches. She has done well with different chiropractors and techniques over the years.
After every adjustment she's ever had, including KST, she would get a headache the next day, and if she didn't see her massage therapist before her adjustment it 'wouldn't last very long.' When I checked for cranial nerves, I got a 'yes' for 11. Could her traps have been tight all these years because of cranial nerve involvement? I had her shrug up and down as I checked and adjusted OD - right occiput if I remember.
A few days later she calls saying that was the best adjustment she'd ever had. No headache afterward for the first time ever, and she's holding much better than usual.
