Отрывок из книги
There are few things in life that define us. Everyone wants to make their mark on society. So why is one of mine Mommies with Migraines? I have been treating patients for over 12 years and have never found more enjoyment than helping mothers with migraines. I can’t tell you the excitement of watching mothers find relief and, most importantly, hope. Many of these worn out mothers have had weekly, if not daily migraines for years or decades. They are so extremely fatigued their faces are drained of any energy. Many are depressed due to the hopelessness from chronic fatigue and pain. As a result, their lives and the people around them suffer. All they want is a glimmer of hope.
So, what are the options for these Mommies? Most take some type of over-the-counter medication with short-term relief or little help. The medication only offers temporary relief and is very toxic to the liver and kidneys. I am shocked by the number of women who resort to the emergency room for relief. Imagine sitting for hours in a room full of sick people with a severe pounding migraine. The smells, bright lights, and noise must be excruciating. Migraine sufferers can wait up to six hours for care in an emergency room. Many have to go through a CT-scan and countless blood tests. They will probably receive an injection of stuff that wipes them out for the rest of the day and the next day. Going through an E.R. visit reveals how badly migraine sufferers desire relief from their pain. Plus they are hit with a whopping $1,500 to $2,500 bill for the one migraine. The mother and the insurance company hate paying huge fees for each episode. The impact on work and family must be incredible. The mother may get rid of her migraine but gives up so much as a result by losing work and time with family. Mom and everyone around her suffer. If this description fits your experience, keep reading.

I treated her using a gentle technique on atlas and axis and applied acupressure (trigger point therapy) to the muscles at the base of skull and trapezius muscles.
