Good morning. The best way to answer this question is to go see a Chiropractor for your initial consultation, examination with necessary X-rays. After the Chiropractor has taken the time to piece together your examination and diagnostic/X-ray findings and correlate them to your presenting issues/complaints, they will determine the frequency of treatment to correct the underlying cause(s) of your presenting issues/complaints. I hope this answers your question.
Which shoulder is higher in scoliosis?
Good morning. Scoliosis is not a one-size-fits-all presentation. Some individuals will have the right shoulder higher than the left, and vice versa. The best way to evaluate shoulder READ MORE
Good morning. Scoliosis is not a one-size-fits-all presentation. Some individuals will have the right shoulder higher than the left, and vice versa. The best way to evaluate shoulder height discrepancy is to look at yourself in the mirror with a friend or family member next to you and see which shoulder higher and which hip is higher. The next step is to set up an appointment with a Chiropractor, who will request for full spine X-rays to evaluate the structure of the spine, identify where the scoliosis begins and ends, and which areas of the spine are implicated. Hope this helps answer your question.
Do you have to take your clothes off for chiropractor?
Hello there. There is no reason to take your clothes off for Chiropractic treatment. Some Chiropractors will have you get into a gown with the back open for examination purposes READ MORE
Hello there. There is no reason to take your clothes off for Chiropractic treatment. Some Chiropractors will have you get into a gown with the back open for examination purposes in order to evaluate your spine, but after the examination appointment, you can be treated fully dressed. Of course, dressing modestly, decently and pragmatically will ensure the Chiropractor can treat you without any issues of crossing boundaries. Hope this helps.

Good morning. I would caution you not to exercise with intercostal muscle strain. The fact that you have this condition alters the biomechanics of the diaphragm, which is your primary muscle of respiration. This, in turn, causes other accessory muscles of respiration in the chest, neck and upper back, as well as those in the lower back and hips to be recruited, leading to compromised breathing mechanics, neck pain, upper back pain, mid to lower back pain. I would advise you to see a Chiropractor closest to you, as well as a Massage Therapist to address this issue until it is resolved. Hope this answers your question.

Chiropractic manipulation, performed manually or with an instrument, is what a Doctor of Chiropractic does to increase range of motion in a segment of the spine that is not moving well, a.k.a hypomobile/subluxated. The goal is to decrease pain symptoms, decrease muscle stiffness and tightness, and restore range of motion in the affected area of the spine. Hope this helps.
Does cracking your neck release endorphins?
Hello. I would advise not to "crack" your neck on your own because vital structures and vessels, such as the internal carotid artery (that goes from your heart to the brain), jugular READ MORE
Hello. I would advise not to "crack" your neck on your own because vital structures and vessels, such as the internal carotid artery (that goes from your heart to the brain), jugular vein (that goes from your brain to your heart), and Cranial Nerve X (which is the biggest cranial nerve extending from your brain all the way to your vital organs, small and large intestines), can be damaged. When a doctor of chiropractic administers a spinal adjustment in the neck, many physiologic and neurologic changes happen that do affect many organ systems. Endorphin release maybe one of them. Hope this helps.
