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?

About a year ago I went to the chiropractor he at some point during the apt. moved/ stretched my legs and ever since I have had pain in my lower back ( left side) and it feels as though I have loose muscles as well on the lower left side. This pain is increased when I sit in the wrong position or any position for a prolonged period of time. What does anyone think this is ? Any input?
