When the MRI Was Normal but the Pain Wasn’t

Sarah had been dealing with headaches for years—starting at the base of her skull and wrapping behind her right eye. Some days it felt dull and heavy; other days, it pulsed so sharply she couldn’t look at a screen for long.

She did what most people do: saw her doctor, got an MRI, had blood work, and even visited a neurologist. The results came back the same every time—“Nothing’s wrong.”

But Sarah knew something was wrong. She could feel the tightness building at the base of her skull and spreading up the back of her head whenever she worked long hours or sat at her computer.

Then she heard about Adhesion Release Methods and decided to give it a try.

What We Found

The pain behind the eye often doesn’t start in the head—it starts at the base of the skull, where small but powerful muscles and nerves live.

When adhesion builds up in this area, it acts like glue between tissues that should move freely. The muscles that attach from the neck to the skull—like the suboccipitals—get locked down, and the tiny joints between vertebrae stop gliding as they should.

This restriction creates a chain reaction:

• Movement at the top of the neck becomes limited, forcing surrounding joints and discs to absorb extra stress.

• Nerves like the greater occipital nerve and trigeminal pathways become irritated, referring pain up and around the skull, often settling behind the eye or at the base of the head.

• Over time, even normal daily posture—looking down at a phone or sitting at a computer—can trigger that familiar, deep ache.

  
  

By carefully identifying and releasing the adhesions around those upper cervical structures, Sarah’s neck began to move the way it was designed to. Within a few weeks, the headaches softened. Soon, they were gone entirely.

You Don’t Have to Live With “Normal” Test Results

If you’ve been told your MRI is fine but you still have pain, there’s a good chance the problem is functional, not structural—caused by restriction, not damage.

Adhesion Release Methods target those hidden restrictions to restore motion, reduce tension, and relieve pressure on irritated nerves.
