It all started with my TMJ problem....

I had headaches and earaches which had nothing to do with infections, so no medications could help.  I'd try whatever was recommended to relieve the pain.  If I got an hour at most of no pain, that would be good.  And with this pain, I did not sleep well which made the pain seem worse.

I was 13 years old when the headaches started and I am now 42.  The headache was always there and I learned to cope.  If it was really severe I'd take a hot shower, use a magic bag and just suffer until it passed.  It would last for house or days.

I've tried various pain killers, muscle relaxants, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and even acupuncture.  They helped, but did not take it away.  Dr. Clive Creager recommended I try NUCCA with his treatment and it has helped more than anyone I've seen in the past almost 30 years!!

Wow!  After the first time I came to the NUCCA office, that Friday night I slept all night - no getting up at all.  I was so well rested, I was amazed and best of all, it was not even in my own bed.  After Monday, I could still feel the headache back there but basically it was gone.  After the next visit, I did not feel it at all.

I never really stopped any activities per say, if I didn't feel up to going out, walking, skiing or even reading well I just didn't!  Now, I don't have to think about it.  There is no "what if I have a headache?" - it's just not anymore waiting to attack when I wan to plan something.

I have told my family and friends all about you and given out the pamphlets.  Of course they don't need me to tell them - they can see me.  They know how I was before with my TMD (temporomandibular disorder) and its tag alongs....I am so much better, even I'm blown away...Thanks Dr. Plotsky! 

Sincerely, Rita C.
