HEADACHE

I came to Waltham Chiropractic with back pain and severe headaches, both with a pain of 7 out of 10. I had never tried any chiropractic treatments to relieve my pain. I only tried taking pain relievers such as Aspirin or Advil, but nothing seemed to permanently work. After having two strokes and suffering from headaches for twenty years, I knew I had to get real help. My daughter-in-law suggested Waltham Chiropractic, so I decided to try it.

When I first visited Dr. Duffy at Waltham Chiropractic, I was advised to get treated three times a week. To start each visit, I laid on the water bed for 15 minutes, which really calmed my body and relaxed my muscles. I would also go on the oxygen bike, which would allow for better blood flow throughout my body and more self-awareness of my pain. After these treatments, Dr. Duffy would adjust my back and Dave would give me a wonderful massage. After about a month, my headaches started to disappear. The pain went down to 1 out of 10.

After twenty years of pain, I am now pain-free! I would recommend chiropractic care with Dr. Duffy to anyone. I myself was referred by a family member, so I would definitely refer Dr. Duffy to those that ask me about chiropractic care. My body feels so much better after being treated at Waltham Chiropractic.

I came to Waltham Chiropractic with right shoulder pain and severe headaches, both with a pain of 10 out of 10.  I have a very stressful job and I believe the headaches were a result of my stress.  I was given Topamax by my primary physician, and although that helped with the pain from my headaches, I hated taking pills. As an alternative, I decided to look into chiropractic care. When I first visited Dr. Duffy at Waltham Chiropractic, I was advised to get treated three times a week. Dr. Duffy would adjust my back and Dave would give me a wonderful massage. After about a month, my headaches started to disappear. The pain lessened to about 2 out of 10.

Even though my job was still stressful, my headaches did not return as they had before.  I would recommend chiropractic care with Dr. Duffy to anyone. In fact, I HAVE recommended Dr. Duffy to those that ask me about chiropractic care! I love coming into the office and getting adjusted. I always feel better when I leave than I did when I entered. I enjoy continued health through my maintenance visits.

"Before I came to Waltham Chiropractic, I was suffering from migraines on a daily basis. I would be really sick with migraines, especially the week before my menstrual period. I also had pain in my left shoulder I rated a 7 out of 10. My only relief from the pain was ibuprofen and Imitrex for migraines, but I didn’t want to continue taking pills. After less than 3 weeks of treatment, my shoulder pain has decreased to 3 out of 10 and I no longer am having daily migraines. I tell all my friends about Waltham Chiropractic. All I can say is I feel so much better. They’re [Dr. Duffy and Dave Chang] the best! They’re so good!

To Dr. Duffy and Dave: Thank you so much!”

I had constant nagging back pain for more than ten years and neck pain for two years. I was lucky to get two hours sleep because the pain would wake me up throughout the night. I had what doctors called visual migraines for six and a half years, which were gradually becoming more frequent. The doctors could not offer anything that would fix the problem. I built up a high tolerance to pain and pushed through my work cleaning houses and taking care of my husband and three children. When I could not tolerate the pain anymore, I called and made an appointment with Dr. Duffy.

My care involved chiropractic adjustments, traction, and specific exercises. I started feeling better after the first few treatments. Since my first chiropractic adjustment in late November 2003, I no longer have migraines, neck pain, or low back pain. I am sleeping the whole night through. The best thing is I can better cherish time spent with my husband and children. I highly recommend chiropractic care for everyone, but especially people that are living with pain.
