The main side effect to an adjustment is muscle soreness, which only lasts for a short time. Also, with the initial week or two of treatment, some conditions seem to become a little worse before they get better, which is normal. Most pain comes from nerve irritation, which reduces function. Once that function begins to return, there may be that type of reaction. If you have ever had your leg go to sleep, it doesn't work until it wakes up and the waking-up process can be slightly painful.
Is neuropathy in hand normal after am adjustment?
It is possible depending on where on the spine the adjustment was made. I would immediately go back to my chiropractor and inform him of what is going on.
Can a chiropractor help with lower abdominal pain?
This can be caused by irregular bowel movements. Normal is at least once a day. I have seen through my practice that irritation to the 1st, 2nd or 3rd lumbar nerve can cause this READ MORE
This can be caused by irregular bowel movements. Normal is at least once a day. I have seen through my practice that irritation to the 1st, 2nd or 3rd lumbar nerve can cause this because that is the nerve control for the large intestine. That being the case a chiropractor can help.
What would cause middle of the night severe knee pain?
You may have a floater. A piece of cartilage that has broken loose and moves around. See an orthopedic.
Can a chiropractor help in treating migraines?
Definitely. I am a migraine survivor. Haven't had one in over 40 years since I started having chiropractic care. That is one thing that got me interested in becoming one.

Yes, it can be a chronic reoccurring condition but it is controllable with regular chiropractic care. I was in your situation as a young college student. Once I started seeing my chiropractor and followed his instructions I have experienced maybe a dozen episodes over the last 40+ years and they were all relieved in less than 2 hours after a chiropractic manipulation.
My ankle hurts even after I walk a mile. What could be the reason for this?
Did you injure that ankle in the past? It could be weakness and instability of the ligaments. Also, it could be lack of good support. Go to www.footlevelers.com and look for a READ MORE

Yes it is very common. Frankly, I would not understand the reasoning behind not taking x-rays on the first visit. There are several things films will reveal: congenital malformations, disc degeneration, vertebral spur formation, blocked vertebra (two bones that fused together naturally), chiari formation which can have very serious consequences if the doctor is unaware that it is there during treatment, missing vertebral parts such as agenesis of the odontoid (tooth like projection of the 2nd cervical vertebra) and of course underlying pathologies.
What can I do to correct my posture?
An ergonomic office chair would help. Also, see a chiropractor because there will be some degree of spinal distortion and he/she can treat that.

Pulling pain in back in morning. Could it be due to sleeping position?
Yes it can. The best sleeping position is on your side with a pillow between the knees. Never sleep on your stomach. How old is your mattress? You may need a new one.
Why does my back crack so much during an adjustment?
That is a question that has been around for many years with a lot of speculation. A few years ago I read a study by two British researchers concerning this subject and their conclusions READ MORE
That is a question that has been around for many years with a lot of speculation. A few years ago I read a study by two British researchers concerning this subject and their conclusions were the most logical I have seen.
They concluded that when a spinal vertebra misaligns it forces the synovial fluid to one side of the joint compartment. Synovial fluid is what allows joints to glide smoothly across each other. When the vertebra moves during the adjustment pressure is released and the fluid suddenly returns to its normal distribution inside the joint. The pop or crack is caused by cavitation resulting from the sudden movement of this fluid.

My left shoulder is broader than the right. Is this a growth problem?

I have sudden pain in my left leg. How can it be treated?
Two things come to mind, sciatica and/or tendonitis from over use. Chiropractic treatment combined with myofascial release can help both of these.

First I would purchase an ergonomic office chair. They are designed to help a person maintain good posture. Don't buy cheap but you also don't have to pay top dollar. Also, I would see a chiropractor because sitting at a desk for several years has created some spinal distortion that needs to be addressed.
