Chiropractor for short term fix?

Be real careful which Chiro you see. Some are good but a lot will mess you up worse.

sounds like cervical herniated disc. not much a chiropractor can do but they'll sure say they can. Time and nsaid like ibuprofen work. I've had a lot of experience with a herniated cervical disc.

In my case of recurrent and chronic lower back pain, yes it was worth it for 1 to 3 days of relief. My chiropractor was also a physical therapist and that helped.

I would not let them do the neck manipulation or "crack your neck" whatever it's called. That has some risk of causing more problems than it solves.

Orthopedic docs are surgeons I'd try some other type first that specializes in back or neck pain.

Good luck that pain is a MFer.

Many here will shite all over chiropractors. I'm not one of them.

However, I preface this conversation every time with, "Find a GOOD chiropractor."

There are many who are shite, there are some who believe they are miracle workers, then there are others who simply try to help people, and they can.

If the one you choose doesn't suggest x-rays right away, pick another. They can adjust you on your first visit, but they should x-ray or refer you for an MRI of the problem area.

I don't shite on chiropractors because I had a great one for years. He knew what he could and couldn't do. Hell, the guy who was his mentor adjusted my dad one day prior to a scheduled back surgery that would have put him flat on his back for 2 months and altered his life forever, and my dad canceled the surgery the next morning. He continued seeing that doc and when the one took over his practice we continued seeing him for years. My Pops never had that back surgery. He went at least once a month for an adjustment, or when he had an issue.

Our chiropractor ended up being a great friend. He even made house calls for us from time to time. He passed away shortly before my Pops passed a few years ago, and I haven't tried to find a new chiropractor yet.

Find a GOOD chiropractor. He/she will help you, but they are not miracle workers.

I went to a chiropractor for lower back pain. Best decision I made. For me, it was a God send in terms of getting rid of the pain

Forget a chiro, buy a $100 inversion table. If it’s a herniated disc, as mine was, you will feel immediate relief.

Where is the pain?
