Well to answer your question we would have to do a examination and if needed will follow-up with x-rays or an MRI to look at soft tissue damage.

Well we would need to examine her and take a history to see what might have happen in her past. However chiropractic care has help thousands of people who suffer from migraines. We need to find out if it is chemical, emotional or traumatic induce.

You should go to a chiropractor when you get a crick in the neck it can come from stress, trauma, or, as you said, just sleeping wrong. so the sooner you get to a chiropractor, the sooner you will feel better.

Chiropractic adjustment are great for children. By the time a child is 5 years old they have already had over 2500 falls, bumps and bruises. The chiropractic adjustments help to keep the spine health while the child is growing so that it may prevent scoliosis and other spinal condition. Some chiropractors see children after birth due too the trauma of child birth. My mother took me to a chiropractic when I was young because I was very active in sports. It not only help with the trauma of sports but it made me perform a lot better because my nervous system function at 100%.

Every Chiropractor helps get sick people well. But did you know that they are over 300 different chiropractic techniques. So I would choose a Chiropractor that you feel good about. You can also go online and look at their website and reviews. Just like all medical Doctor are not the same it is the same with Chiropractors.

It depends on what state you live in. I know most states don't allow chiropractors to prescribe. However chiropractors work in the natural to let the body heat itself, but if you feel you need medication you can get your medical doctor to prescribe you something for the pain and your chiropractor can help get to the cause of your pain and you may heal a lot faster.

There are over 1000 chiropractors that work in sport Medicine that do great work. Chiropractors work with the nervous system, muscles and ligaments, the spine, and all of your bones and joints. Usually when a muscle is pulled it affects the bone and the spine so you can heal correctly. Both must be addressed

Yours in Health

A chiropractic adjustment is really a great idea for children. Most children by the time they are 5 years old they have had over 2500 falls and this along is a need to keep the spine in line and the child is growing. The adjustment help keep the spine in line while the child is going and it help the body to function better. You will find that your child will sleep better not have a many sick days because there immune system is functioning better and their stress that is put on the body while playing sports will be less. Just make sure they go to a chiropractor that know how to work with kids and she will be find.

If X-rays show herniated discs, we need to do an MRI to see the degree of his herniation. If it is a grade 1 or 2, we can start with chiropractic care to see how he responds. I would always be conservative first before surgery.
