Donna’s Story: Overcoming Daily Headaches & Neck Pain

After suffering from daily headaches and persistent neck pain, Donna felt like she had tried everything—until a friend recommended Upper Cervical Chiropractic. Now, she’s living headache-free and sleeping better than ever.

Living with Daily Headaches: The Search for Answers

For years, Donna from Boise, Idaho, suffered from daily headaches and chronic neck pain.

  • Waking up with a headache was the norm.
  • Neck discomfort made it hard to focus.
  • Relying on ibuprofen became part of her routine.

She had heard of chiropractic care, but only the traditional approach—the kind with twisting, cracking, and popping.

Is this just my life now? Do I have to deal with headaches forever?

Then, a friend recommended Peak Chiropractic and introduced her to Upper Cervical Care.

At first, Donna had no idea what it was—but she quickly learned that this approach was different.

  • It wasn’t just about adjusting her neck—it was about realigning her nervous system.
  • It wasn’t about masking symptoms—it was about fixing the root cause.
  • And most importantly—it worked.

How Upper Cervical Care Made a Difference

Unlike anything she had tried before, Upper Cervical Chiropractic didn’t just treat her headaches—it addressed why they were happening in the first place.

Why were Donna’s headaches happening daily?

Her nervous system was under constant stress due to misalignments in the upper cervical spine (C1 & C2).

  • The atlas and axis bones (C1 & C2) protect the brainstem, which controls nervous system function, blood flow, and pain processing.
  • When these bones became misaligned, they interfered with communication between her brain and body—leading to constant tension, pain, and sleep disturbances.
  • The headaches weren’t just a head issue—they were a nervous system issue.

The first step to healing? A gentle, precise Upper Cervical adjustment based on advanced 3D imaging.

“It took a few months, but I started noticing real progress.”

With time and consistency, the headaches started to disappear.

After completing her Upper Cervical Care plan, Donna experienced life-changing results:

  • No more daily headaches.
  • No more relying on ibuprofen to get through the day.
  • No more work disruptions caused by constant pain.

And something unexpected happened—her sleep dramatically improved.

I didn’t realize how much my headaches were affecting my sleep until they were gone.”

Now, Donna feels better than ever.

  • She enjoys her days without pain.
  • She looks forward to waking up headache-free.
  • She recommends Upper Cervical Care to everyone she knows.
I honestly couldn't put a price on what this care has done for me. It’s been worth every penny.

The doctors, the staff, and the welcoming atmosphere at Peak Chiropractic made her healing journey easy and enjoyable.

I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment!
I was working in Boise and seen an ad for Peak Chiropractic, I suffered with migraines, vertigo and severe nerve pain in my shoulders for 15+ years and thought it was something I was just going to live with. After an informative consultation then some 3-D imaging, a severe misalignment was found in my upper cervical area. Dr. Johnathon Finney made one adjustment before I had to go back home to Kentucky and it changed my life! I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment! AND he found a doctor near my home town that he went to school with and shared my files so I can have care when I am home and when I am in Boise for work! I cannot thank Dr. Johnathon enough for giving me my life back and think everyone needs to experience what Peak Chiropractic and their upper cervical care can do for them!

I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice.
Peak Chiropractic is an amazing place. Jon and Kierra are very knowledgeable and friendly! They take the time to explain everything and make sure you’re well taken care of. They specialize in starting at the root of the cause and not over doing it. I am personally scared of being twisted and popped and that’s not part of their practice. They made me feel very comfortable and the recovery room is very comforting after the adjustment. I highly recommend Peak!
