My Personal Story
“Okay, I admit it. I’m a type-A, ambitious, stress-addict”, laughs Dr. Funk. “Before I learned about how to manage stress, I suffered from chronic tension-type headaches that radiated from the base of my neck. They first started when I was studying chemistry as an undergraduate student. I thought I was smart until I got to college and chose the hardest major I could find. Needless to say, keeping up with my high expectations produced great amounts of stress and anxiety. The next thing I need I was having headaches three to five days a week. At the time, I took medication to relieve my headaches until discovered chiropractic care was another option for relieving headaches. I tried it and it helped but did not fully relieve the problem. I knew something had to change.”
“While I was studying at Texas Chiropractic College, a fellow classmate took a seminar on myofascial release and practiced his newly learned techniques on me. To my surprise, I didn’t have a headache after his treatment for three whole days! I was sold, and I continued to use the combination of muscle manipulation as an adjunct to spinal manipulation for pain relief. It’s funny how personal experience can be our best teacher. This experience was the inspiration for Tranquility Chiropractic Studio!”
“Today I don’t have to consistently prove how smart I am”, Dr. Funk smiles. “I know my body better and live a life that is more in alignment with my goals and life purpose. I still experience stress-related headaches, but I know what do about them. Chiropractic care, myofascial work, and stress reduction is the key to living a healthy, pain-free life. This is why I am such an advocate for Tranquility Chiropractic Studio!”
RAVE REVIEW: Dr Misty Funk’s chiropractic treatment is the best I have ever received. I love the myofascial massage. I no longer have constant tension in my neck and shoulders. I went to see her because of migraines caused by muscle tension around my neck. Her treatments have helped tremendously. -Giselda A. (written on February 5, 2009)
