Maureen came to MPC with neck, shoulder, and lower back pain π after several falls, which left her needing to sleep in a recliner due to the discomfort ποΈ. A thorough evaluation revealed vertigo and balance issues were contributing to her injuries. Since starting care, everything changed. She no longer struggles with vertigo and has accomplished some huge life goalsβlike hiking π₯Ύ, kayaking π£ββοΈ, and going on her very first cruise π΄! Maureen is thrilled with her progress and has already booked her next adventure! βοΈπ§³
“I wanted to share my story with vertigo in hopes to help others. I suffered for years with it and in a matter of 3 months have had zero episodes. About 6 years ago I woke up in the middle of the night with the room spinning and I was getting sick everywhere. I had no idea what was going on, could not walk straight and thought I was having a stroke. I went to the ER and after many tests found out it was an episode of vertigo. They gave me medicine and sent me home. After that I would have an episode about 5-6 times per year. I actually missed a dream trip to Sedona due to a horrible episode that lasted 3 days. Then in February of 2023 I took a horrible fall down a flight of stairs resulting in 26 stitches in my leg and an injury to my neck. Then again, I fell in June and broke my shoulder. I spend 2023 in pain and healing from these falls. Then I had a friend that told me I should see a chiropractor and they should be able to help me with the vertigo. In December I went to Maximum Potential Chiropractic in Medina. I got a full assessment and the falls were likely due to my balance issues. I worked with them for the last 3 months and my last assessment shows my balance issues are getting much better. I have not had a vertigo issue since the beginning care in December and I just got back from a cruise where I had zero sea sickness and no vertigo at all. I am sharing my story because if you are going through this like I did, please consider seeing a chiropractor right away. I am not sure why I waited so long. Hope this can help someone and I’m glad I finally took control and can get back into living without the worry of a fall or vertigo.”
