When I first walked into a chiropractor's office, I didn’t even mention my headaches.

Not because I was shy or forgetful—but because I genuinely didn’t think they mattered. I’d been getting three headaches a week, every week, since I was a teenager. It had become my normal. Like brushing your teeth or having a cuppa in the morning, headaches were just part of life. Or so I thought.

I actually booked that first appointment because of an annoying clicky jaw. What happened next changed the course of my life.

After a few gentle treatments, I noticed something odd. It was a Tuesday afternoon when it hit me—not the headache, but the absence of it. It was the first Tuesday in decades that hadn’t come with a throb behind my eyes. Then Thursday passed, headache-free. Then Saturday. A whole week. Then two.

At first, I didn’t dare say anything. Surely it was a fluke?

But the headaches never came back.

That was the moment I realised two things:

1. What we get used to isn’t always normal.

2. The spine and nervous system play a much bigger role in overall health than I’d ever imagined.

Within a few months, I had applied to chiropractic college.

That’s how deeply this experience affected me—and how passionately I now feel about helping others find the same kind of relief.

If you're in Cumbria and you're dealing with frequent headaches—even if you’ve learned to live with them—please know this: help is possible. Gentle chiropractic care isn’t about cracking bones or quick fixes. It’s about understanding how your body is trying to heal, and giving it the support it needs to do just that.

Headaches might be common, but they are not normal. If I hadn’t stumbled across this truth by accident, I might still be living with weekly pain.
