'Rib subluxations' are common. A 'slipped rib' is out of place and needs to be put back in place by a trained chiropractic doctor. Even at your present age, specific scientific chiropractic adjustment would put that rib back in place, and then you will feel so much better. In addition, neuro-muscular re-education treatments with 'electro-acuscope' at our offices would reduce pain and swelling and afford stabilizing the rib head that was injured and out of place.
I am suffering from neck and shoulder pain since I was a child. What should I do?

It seems that there may be a history of injury that could be the cause of your problem; perhaps a problem that began many years ago. As you raise your hands up you are increasing the disc pressure, pulling on the delicate nerve structures. If your neck bone is out of place or mispositioned, it would account for this pain. The neck nerves go directly to the shoulder as well. This problem can be corrected completely, as long as the the cause is identified.
Back exercises after adjustments?

Some questions need to be answered first. What is the cause of the back pain? Was it properly diagnoses with nerve scan, examination and x-ray? A disc problem does not need exercise at the onset of the treatment plan. After chiropractic correction of the spine is completed then core strengthening exercises are beneficial, along with a host of other low back exercises designed to support the back. I.E.: leg extensions, leg and hip flexions; leg lifts, and others. The timing as to when you would start exercises is vital.

My left shoulder is broader than the right. Is this a growth problem?
A very interesting finding. While I have seen this, it is not common. My first thought is to discover why the muscular formation is so different on that smaller right side. READ MORE
A very interesting finding. While I have seen this, it is not common. My first thought is to discover why the muscular formation is so different on that smaller right side. Is it congenital? Is it circulation, and/or nerve innervation? Is it related to past injury? There is always a reason. The doctor/clinician needs to find it. And yes, in most cases we will see marked improvements and/or complete restoration
Why does my back crack so much during an adjustment?
This noise is referred to as 'cavitation', as it's due to the normalizing of discal pressure inside and outside of the disc and/or joint capsules. This is a healthy sound, as READ MORE
This noise is referred to as 'cavitation', as it's due to the normalizing of discal pressure inside and outside of the disc and/or joint capsules. This is a healthy sound, as the disc is receiving needed nutrients from outside. (note: the capillary bed inside the vertebral disc disappears naturally, at the approximate age of 22. So the disc tissues get their nutrients by this cavitation process.
Do chiropractors typically take x-rays?
Yes. X-rays are taken to properly diagnose a patients condition and to rule out pre-existing conditions. Most importantly, to discover the subluxation complexes (mal-alignments) READ MORE
Yes. X-rays are taken to properly diagnose a patients condition and to rule out pre-existing conditions. Most importantly, to discover the subluxation complexes (mal-alignments) present to obtain accurate bio-mechanical and structural information, necessary to formulate the treatment plan for the patient's condition. In addition, any pathology present will be revealed by x ray analysis. X-ays are a key diagnostic tool for determining structural improvements after correction has been completed.

My mother suffered Bell's Palsy and is now recovering. Can a chiropractor help at this stage?
I have seen great results with bell's palsy patients as the spine adjustments specifically return functionality to the neck, releasing blocked nerve impulses to the facial muscles. READ MORE

As a practicing chiropractic physician with 40 years experience, I have seen at times, patients who would respond with more symptoms after the adjustment. You should ice the sore neck and call your chiropractor. Assuming that the chiropractic doctor did a specific spinal corection, this "flare-up" is a common occurance of this type of injury/ condition. Removing the swelling with ice therapy, "micro-current" modality, and non-force adjustments will get you out of this. I would also suggest anti-inflamatories, ie. boswella, tumeric, curcumin, nettles root, etc.
I have a burning pain all over my thighs. What could be causing this?
This could be a circulation problem. How did this happen? Is it a pulled muscle? However, in most cases we see that it is the nerves in the spine and the legs that are the causation. READ MORE
This could be a circulation problem. How did this happen? Is it a pulled muscle? However, in most cases we see that it is the nerves in the spine and the legs that are the causation. . Many cases, it is a sciatic neuritis that results from a lumbar bulging disc may be the cause. In addition, the nerve and muscle can be treated with physio-therapy with electronic acuscope -- a great modality to treat this.
