How long does it take to realign your hip?

That really depends on what is causing the malalignment and how severe it is. You have age on your side. I would assume there are not many complicating factors. You may need an orthotic in the shoe to help balance the pelvis if there is a leg length discrepancy.
Good luck and stick with the treatment plan.

Chiropractors know what spinal segments to adjust by using both static and motion palpation as well as X-rays. Palpation is when the physician touches the area and applies slight pressure to access tissue tension and intersegmental motion of the vertebral joints. joints that need to be adjusted will have a change in motion of that segment and often some muscular tension around that joint as well.

It is not bad to "crack" your back every day. Popping the joints repeatedly (multiple times in a day) can lead to loose ligaments that surround the joint. The bigger question should be why you feel the need to "crack" it everyday? Often, if there is misalignment that is not corrected, you will feel the need to "crack" the joint frequently to get some short-term relief. If you get an exam by a good chiropractic physician and determine the cause of stress, the doctor should be able to provide a series of treatments to correct the problem.

Why does a chiropractor crack your neck?
Chiropractors often use manipulation of spinal joints or extremity joints to reduce misalignment or to free joints that have lost full range of motion. When a joint has lost its READ MORE
Chiropractors often use manipulation of spinal joints or extremity joints to reduce misalignment or to free joints that have lost full range of motion. When a joint has lost its full range of motion or rests in an abnormal position, manipulation can help to restore the normal alignment and movement patterns. During manipulation, there is often a "pop" or "crack" that comes from opening the joint space and releasing the pressure similar to opening a can of soda.

1. With your hands and knees on the ground, sink back through your hips to rest them on your heels.
2. Hinge at your hips as you fold forward, walking your hands out in front of you.
3. Rest your belly on your thighs.
4. Extend your arms in front of or alongside your body with your palms facing up.
5. Focus on breathing deeply and relaxing any areas of tension or tightness.
6. Hold this pose for up to 1 minute.
You can do this pose several times during your stretching routine. Feel free to do it between each of the other stretches you do. Also, try Cat-Cow stretch and spinal twists. Share on Pinterest.

Absolutely. The physician may not want to do many rotary type manipulations to the level of herniation, but a combination of flexion-distraction technique and disc decompression treatment and various therapies should be extremely beneficial. If the therapy is not effective, surgery may be needed.

There are many causes for ankle pain. But at your age, if there was no trauma to the ankle such as a strain/sprain, there may be an issue with the mortice joint (the joint that connects the foot to the leg) or one of the tendons. I would recommend having it checked by a specialist such as a Chiropractor, Orthopedist, or Podiatrist.

Tight hips and lower back can be caused by several things. Overuse of the muscles without proper stretching is one reason, but often there is dysfunction of the sacroiliac or pelvic joints that cause a reflex tightening of the glutes, hip rotators, hamstrings and paraspinal muscles. An examination of the lumbosacral and hip joints by a good Chiropractor or Physical therapist should be able to determine the cause of your problem.

Why do chiropractors use activators?

Not all chiropractors use Activators. When used, it is a less forceful way to adjust the spine or reduce muscle tension using a spring-loaded device rather than manipulating with the hand. I personally use it most when a patient cannot tolerate the force of a normal manual adjustment. But that's just my personal choice.
Which exercise is best for foot pain?

The first thing to be determined is what is causing the leg pain. Is it actually the leg that is having the problem or is it the lower back or hip that is causing the issue in the leg? Exercise may not be the answer. Where is the pain originating from? Try to determine the source and try stretching the muscles that are most affected such as the hamstrings or calf muscles. Often, leg pain that is not from a strained muscle in the leg originates from the lower back. If this is the case, then try stretching the lower back with Cat-Cow yoga pose, spinal twists or knee to chest stretches. Strengthening the core is always a good thing. If you haven't been working out, start with planks. If the pain continues for more than a week or two, consult a good chiropractor for an examination to determine the cause of pain and get it fixed.

First, the reason for your spasms must be determined. Are you well hydrated? Often, dehydration causes cramps and spasms, so drink more water. Spasms can also be associated with nerve interference.

Which leg is longer with scoliosis?

Scoliosis can have a curvature convex to either side of the body and the presence of or lack of leg length inequality does not always contribute to the curvature. Sometimes a person can have a shorter leg on one side and the spine will shift toward the high side at the sacroiliac joint or L5-S! joint and the spine can be straight or even tilt toward the longer leg side. All cases of scoliosis need to be looked at individually to find the cause of the curvature.

Do slipped ribs show up on x-rays?

It depends on the definition of “slipped.” There is “dislocated” and that does show up on X-ray. There is “subluxated,” which is less than a dislocation, more like misaligned and that is more difficult to observe on X-ray. Palpation of the ribs is more definitive for motion issues with the costovertebral joints. A combination of palpation and X-ray is the best diagnostically.
Can chiropractors adjust feet?
Absolutely. Good Chiropractors should be able to adjust any joint in the body. Foot manipulation is commonplace.
Can a chiropractor or massage therapist help with migraine headaches?

It really depends on the cause of your migraine headaches. If they are caused by increased tension in the suboccipital area (below the base of your skull in back) or tension in the trapezius muscle that connects to the back of the skull and those muscles are increasing pressure on the greater occipital nerve, then both types of treatment would be beneficial. Massage is good at relieving tension in the muscles. Chiropractic manipulation can relieve misalignment of the vertebrae, which may be causing interference to the nerve and cause the muscle tension to begin with. It is always good to start with conservative treatments such as Chiropractic and massage to see if that treatment works for you. A good Chiropractor would be able to determine the cause of your headaches through examination and possibly X-rays, if necessary. After thorough examination, the provider should be able to recommend an effective treatment protocol.
