Possible help with dazzling lights.

I have been dazzled by headlights most of my driving life. Any lights hurt my eyes. There were probably a couple of reasons, I also suffered very badly for much of that time with migraine. A few years ago, someone suggested I visited a Cranial Osteopath as it had helped him with many odd things. This is a specialised branch of osteopathy. After 2nd visit, I drove home in the dark and for the first time ever, was able to not only see everything clearly, I could even look at the headlights, any headlight, without pain or problem. I cannot drive at all now, but the effect of those 2 visits is with me, 4 years later. My daughter had the same problem so I paid for 3 visits, she was 'fixed' after one visit. (My endless migraines stopped last year, after injection in the neck, physiotherapy and total gluten abstinence- all about the same time) Cranial Osteopathy also helped me each visit, temporarily, with balance issues- possibly due to blood flow increasing.

Where does one find a Cranial Osteopath? I am in the south of England. Thanks.

I had to look on this site, call the practice I was recommended and then speak to the Osteopath, They MUST have a specific specialism in Cranial Osteopathy and will volunteer that they have this specific training. I found practices are helpful at recommending cranial ostepaths. Look on here for registered osteopaths: osteopathy.org.uk/home/ My experience was that the lights problem was sorted very quickly, and unintentionally! I had other imbalance problems that took a few visits to sort- though the ataxia was helped for a while it did not stop it. It was all generally a most helpful experience. I'd love to know how you get on? I sincerely hope it alleviates your problem.
