Muscle tension\u2014primarily in my neck and shoulders\u2014has been an unwanted companion of mine for years now.\u00a0 I\u2019m a problem solver by nature, and I really wanted to get to the bottom of this.\u00a0\u00a0 Was it stress?\u00a0 Poor posture?\u00a0 Sleeping the wrong way?\u00a0 All I knew was the problem wasn\u2019t getting better\u2014in fact, it was growing worse.\u00a0 The muscle tension started the moment I woke and lasted all day, every day.\u00a0 Most days this would produce a headache, which made it hard to be cheerful and fun with my family.<\/p>\n
In June I started seeing a chiropractor.\u00a0 It turns out I had major problems with the alignment of my neck.\u00a0 With adjustments three times a week, then two times a week, and finally weekly, this improved dramatically.\u00a0 The muscle tension, however, did not improve\u2014it increased and the headaches remained.<\/p>\n
Less than two weeks ago my chiropractor suggested taking a magnesium supplement.\u00a0 I was skeptical: I really believed I was causing the tension by something I was doing (or not doing).<\/p>\n
The result since I started taking the supplement?\u00a0 The tension is gone; the headaches have ceased.\u00a0 I feel so different\u2014so free!\u00a0 From the reading I\u2019ve done, magnesium deficiency is very common.\u00a0 Many physicians say somewhere between 80-95% of Americans are deficient, and muscle tension is just one of many symptoms associated with it.<\/p>\n
Each night as I take my magnesium, I thank God for this new discovery.\u00a0 And each day as I\u2019m free of pain, I\u2019m so happy to feel like myself again.\u00a0 I still love problem solving, but this was one problem I couldn\u2019t solve on my own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
