Migraines
Migraines can be debilitating. The constant throbbing pain on the forehead, behind the eyes and in the temple area could greatly hinder your way of living. What distinguishes a migraine headache from other types of headaches is that it is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, light , noise or smell sensitivity.
Most migraine sufferers have one thing in common and that is the loss of the normal curvature ( lordosis) in the neck area.
If you are suffering from this debilitating problem, the root cause may be in the upper neck area of your spinal column. If subluxation (misalignment) is present in that area, it could cause loss of proper motion and eventually irritation to the nerves resulting in migraine headaches.
As you may be aware, when you resort to drugs or medications to alleviate the pain, it will only do that at best. and never address the underlying cause of the problem. Chiropractors on the other hand are the professional experts, not only to rid you of your pain, but remove the subluxation enabling your body to heal naturally.

I don't consider myself an exceptional case, I am an everyday person with everyday "stuff" going on in my life. I'm 34, married and have two young boys - 2 and 3 yrs old. I work full time as a sales manager and my husband also has a demanding job and often works until 8pm. Just the thought of the impending end of day race to the daycare before closing, race home to feed the kids, etc was a huge source of stress.
About 8 years ago I had a migraine that lasted about a year - slow, blinding and throbbing for which I took some nasty medication that gave me the worst dry mouth you can imagine - I had to carry water with me all the time (even for a trip to the depanneur) and I knew where every public bathroom was. This year the headache started to come back plus I was tired, had a sinus cold that would not go away and digestive problems - so I had my gall bladder out.
One of my employees told me about his chiropractor when he saw me pulling at my shoulders and wearing sunglasses in the office. Despite my scepticism, I went to see Dr. Goel. I was freaking out but I felt so tired and so old that it was either that or go back on the medication. I was taking an average of 5-8 Advils a day plus sinus medication. I had no patience for my kids and I slept a lot.
Dr. Goel showed me my x-ray results and said that the loss of the arc in my neck was causing this. It made sense but I was still not sure that adjustments would fix things. My headache was gone in the first week if not by the second adjustment. Sometimes if I feel it coming back, I just tell Dr. Goel and she concentrates on the area and the feeling goes away. After three weeks, my sinus infection went away.
For me, the biggest thing is that I have checked back into my life. Yes, it is chaotic but I feel like I can manage it. I'm not in pain, and I look forward to the end of my day so I can spend time with my kids - quality time, not tv time. I have energy and often get a Saturday's worth of stuff done on a weeknight and still have time to relax. I have taken this opportunity to look at myself and try to insert more positivity into other aspects of my life like eating better, nurturing my creative side, hugging my kids and husband more and in general admiring myself more.
I really value my relationship with Dr. Goel - you can't help but feel great when you leave the office. I don't feel this care is a crack here and crack there and you're done. This care has eased my pain which has allowed me to be me again.
Thank you!

I first came to consult with Dr. Sima Goel becauseI had been suffering with migraines, numbness in my hands that started in the middle of the night and lasted till early in the morning, painful menstrual cramps, low back pain every day after work, allergies to food, pollen and ragweed, dizziness, neck pain and tingling in my ears. I had been plagued with these problems for the past 10 years and I found that all these problems were getting worse day by day. I hadbeen to many medical doctors and all they did was prescribe antibiotics, painkillers, allergy medication, Advil and Tylenol.
My quality of life was being interrupted with all my suffering and because of my migraines I found that I was becoming less tolerant and less patient with my family and friends. I became very sensitive and very irritated by everything.
After only 1 month of chiropractic adjustments, I feel so much better and have no pain, and I no longer take any medication.
Dr. Goel's office is so amazing and the care and concern they give their patients is so wonderful. Every day I asked the Lord to give me the wisdom and knowledge to be able to find the right person who would be able to help me with all my health problems, and He did when He directed me to Dr. Sima Goel's office.

About four years ago, I started getting migraines. I saw several doctors who, at first, didn't even take me seriously! I was told I was one of the "lucky ones" amongst headache suffers. I was then given medicine like Topomax and Zomig. Those only worsened my headaches!
I would still go about my normal day but it seemed the worse my headache was the crankier I would become with my loved ones. I also needed Advil or Tylenol to get through my day.
I went to see Dr. Goel through a recommendation. My husband's grandfather had been a patient of Dr. Goel's and had tremendous results so we decided it was time for me to try it. I saw results IMMEDIATELY after my first adjustment. It was unbelievable!
Since beginning my care here, I feel more energetic and my headaches have decreased a significant amount. When I do occasionally get a headache, it is not nearly as intense and I know that relief is possible sooner than is used to be. I no longer rely on Tylenol or Advil to get me through my day!
