If I have a herniated disk or sciatica is chiropractic care going to help me?

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 05:23:03 +0000

Ive been in pain for 4-6 months and ive seen a chiropractor 3 times. Today is the worst pain I have been in since the 4-6 months. Im thinking the chiropractor is full of crap and is just trying to string me out for my money.

Should I go see a neurologist and get an actual medical opinion rather than a fake doctor?

Is chiropractic treatment mostly placebo? Are there studies to prove the theory of subluxation?

I have seen studies that shown benefits for low back pain. But it seems that it is only marginally better than conventional medicine. So could it be a placebo effect? Also, is the diagnosis of a short leg substantial or of clinical value?

Has anyone had good or bad results from NUCCA chiropractic?

I was in a car accident and NUCCA chiropractic was suggested. I have had one adjustment and one recheck so far. I have had myofascial pain syndom for about 20 years and have tried almost everything else.

Hip still hurts after chiropractic care. What now?

admin — Mon, 24 May 2010 13:04:30 +0000

I have been to the chiropractor multiple times and it seems to help for about a week. He said it was bursitus and he even did an ultrasound to help ease the pain. My left hip hurts almost constantly. The pain is also in my lower back and upper thigh. What can I do to help this pain go away if even chiropractic care isn’t working?

what are your thoughts about chiropractic care?

I’ve had chronic back pain for the past two years. I’ve seen a physical therapist off and on for the past three years with little success. I just started seeing a chiropractor and he gave me a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease. It completely matches my symptoms. I’ve started the treatment and I haven’t noticed a difference yet. It’s also going to cost a lot and insurance won’t help much.

I know that some health care practitioners are skeptical about chiropractic medicine. What are your thoughts?

I started Chiropractic treatment a month ago and am now experiencing jaw pain..?

admin — Fri, 14 May 2010 21:03:10 +0000

Has anyone else had this experience? I started treatment a little over a month ago, just general chiropractic check-ups, based on a referral by my primary care physician for stress and anxiety.

It HAS done wonders for that, along with a new dietary plan and lifestyle changes, but I’ve been experiencing on and off jaw pain, moderate to severe at times, when trying to close my jaw (as when chewing) or sometimes when I open it too wide. It kind of varies. I went back yesterday and she used some sort of tool that taps on the sides of my neck and jaw several times, and said something about a rotating atlas (or something like that), but it doesn’t seem to have helped much.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do Chiropractic know when to use the DRX9000?

admin — Wed, 12 May 2010 11:08:05 +0000

My hip is unleveled the right side is higher up than the left. This causes mild pain but I am seeing a GREAT Chiropractic who has almost made the pain go completely away. I just started on the DRX9000 machine yesterday but was reading on what it does and it seems to be more for spinal problems? Can the DRX 9000 help my hips as well?
This machine is suppose to help level my hips again..is this true?

First time with chiropractic treatments, but I’m in more pain after 6 treatments. Should I keep going?

admin — Mon, 10 May 2010 01:05:44 +0000

After my x-ray, the chiropractor said my neck curve was opposite what it should be, and my spine twists a little bit as it goes up my back (acute scoliosis), so he prescribed 3 treatments a week for 4 weeks. I came in with mild back pain and a neck pain only if I leaned my head back.

After the 3rd treatment, I got a horrible persistent neck pain that got so bad I could only turn my head 3 inches in any direction, and I couldn’t sleep. It got better and then flared up to being worse. Now it’s a bit better, but I’m almost a week out from that pain and have been through 6 treatments. He says everyone has ups and downs. Should I keep going? Or could there be something that needs an MRI?

How do you deal with/get rid of scoliosis through chiropractic medicine?

admin — Fri, 07 May 2010 15:04:56 +0000

I’m speaking for a friend of mine who has minor scoliosis, and whose hips are misaligned because of this. They would like to be able to find a way to cure this through chiropractic treatment and various places (in New Hampshire) where it could be done, and also whether it would be a permanent solution or not. We’d both really appreciate your help on this because its causing my friend some serious pain and frustration.

Other than chiropractic, what are the medical alternatives for treating chronic back pain?

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 05:07:49 +0000

Note: I respect chiropractic and understand that it can help for maintance of minor back pain/discomfort. I know this because I occasionally see a chiro for my back, and the adjustments feel good and clear up mild back/neck pain.

But a friend of mine has very severe back pain, and has had this for a long time. And although chiropractic has offered some relief, even after numerous visits, the pain has not diminished and continues to persist. So I’m curious to find out, what other alternatives are there for individuals with severe, chronic back pain? (other than simply popping pain killers, of course)

Acupuncture is out of the question, as insurance wont cover this service for them.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks.
