Thanks!
NUCCA had a very positive impact on my symptoms. I always feel better after my adjustments. I recently met another TBI survivor at my neurologist's office and referred him to my NUCCA doctor. He told me it improved his dizziness and headaches.

There is also another TBI survivor that my specialist sees that reported her dizziness also improved.

NUCCA has helped me with the following symptoms: Vision, anxiety, fatigue, my sense of taste and cognitive problems. I'm overall more clear-headed when I walk out of there and usually lasts until a little before my next appointment.

I can't tell you personally if it will improve your headaches and dizziness. I don't have those problems...thank God...but unfortunately, my cognitive problems make up for that, lol. Anyone want to trade symptoms? I will gladly take headaches and dizziness for a low functioning brain.

Its worth a try...especially if your insurance covers it.

Unfortunately, my current setback is so severe...its not helping my cognitive problems like it usually does. Buuuut, its still helping with everything else.

Good luck.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.

Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.

Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
