First time with chiropractic treatments, but I’m in more pain after 6 treatments. Should I keep going?
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?
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?
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.
What other ways are there to treat a disc bulge other than chiropractic?
I’ve been seeing a chiropractor (actually, two) for the past couple of months to treat a disc bulge, which has also been referred to on a few different occasions as a torn disc and cervical disc. We don’t know the actual extent of the bulge because I have not had an MRI. The pain has been tolerable (somewhat dull and nagging), but chronic. Chiropractic has helped, but the condition is still there. What are some other options?
I have chronic pain, especially right between the shoulder blades and a stiff neck; chiropractic helps, so…?
does regular massages but nothing ever really gets completely rid of it. I have extremely tight muscles, very stiff, and don’t want to be on prescription strength muscle relaxants for the rest of my life. Magnesium and potassium supplements help, so does soaking in a hot tub. Can anyone suggest anything else? I’m too young to feel this old! Thanks in advance!
Is chiropractic better than conventional treatment(physiotherapy), for back pain?
Could somebody recommend me a good chiropractic in Chicago?
