I have neck pain that only occurs when I lie down. What could be the reason?
Thanks for your question. When pain is positional as you described it is usually as a result of a structural dysfunction. In your case it very well could be a pinched nerve or subluxation of one or more of the vertibrae in your neck. It sounds like a chiropractic problem that could be fixed with proper cervical adjustments. READ MORE
Can a chiropractor help me with a pain in the back of my thigh?
Most chiropractors will deal with muscle pain especially if it’s related to the nerves of your spine. You might want to try alternating heat and ice to calm the inflammation and reduce spasm. But definitely give chiropractic a try. The longer you wait the longer it might take to heal. READ MORE
I was diagnosed with gout. Can a chiropractor help me manage the pain?
Sometimes taking pressure off of the nerves can alleviate pain caused by gout. Yes, you should consult with a chiropractor and determine if your condition might respond to chiropractic care. It’s worth a try and it absolutely will not make your condition any worse. READ MORE
I have undergone about 5 X-rays in the last 2 months for my spinal problem. Are there any risks?
There really is very minimal risk of any radiation harm from that amount of spinal X-rays. You would get significantly more radiation from a single CT scan. Also, any possible risk is mitigated by the information received from those film studies. So, no do not be concerned or worried. READ MORE
I am having pain in my buttocks when I sit. What could this be?
Pain in the buttocks when you sit is a very common complaint with lumbar nerve inflammation. Also very common with a sacroiliac sprain. Another possible cause would be gluteus strain and hamstring tightness. You should see a chiropractor for a complete evaluation to determine what is the cause of your pain. In the meantime try alternating moist heat and ice pack therapy to alleviate nerve irritation and muscle spasm. That may help with the pain but your pelvis will still need to be properly aligned and any possible lumbar vertebrae will need to be adjusted to reduce nerve inflammation. READ MORE
I have lipoma under my arms. Can a chiropractor help?
A lipoma needs to be checked by a medical doctor. If you already see a chiropractor, he/she may be able to assist with the diagnosis, but it does not fall within the realm of chiropractics. READ MORE
My mother has developed a problem of shaking hands. What could be the reason behind it?
Shaking of hands is a very common issue with people as they age. It could be a neurological problem such as early Parkinson’s onset or just a minor tremor with no underlying cause. Sometimes it can be early sign of Alzheimer’s disease. If it continues and intensifies she could benefit from a thorough neurological examination. READ MORE
Is a chiropractor helpful in treating kids?
Chiropractors are trained to treat back related issues no matter what the age. I have many children as patients. So, yes. By all means, take your child to a chiropractor for evaluation and treatment. It will be safe and effective. READ MORE
I have just suffered a slip Disc. After how long can I start by back exercises?
First off the disc doesn’t actually slip. The space between the vertebrae is composed of a tough annulus fibrosis with a more fluid gelatinous nucleus pulposus. If you injure your back and the nucleus material bulges into the spinal canal it can inflame the surrounding tissue and irritate the spinal nerves causing pain and stiffness. Depending on the severity of the bulge mild exercise can be very beneficial and in some cases relieve the nerve pressure. So, whatever you can tolerate in terms of pain a conservative exercise regime will be more effective than simply bedrest. READ MORE
My father is suffering from severe back pain. Can it be treated with manual adjustment of the spine?
The short answer to your question is yes. Your father should see a chiropractor for consultation and examination, most likely including X-rays for more in-depth evaluation of his condition. Chiropractor manipulation is very safe and extremely effective for the relief of low back pain. READ MORE
My mother has developed a problem of shaking hands. What could be the reason behind it?
This could be any neurological problem from Parkinson's to a pinched motor nerve. She should be checked out by her medical doctor and a neurologist. READ MORE
Back exercises after adjustments?
It all depends on what the cause of your pain is. Your doctor should advise you of what's most appropriate. Usually 3 20 minute walks/day is helpful. Gentle knee to chest stretch shouldn't aggravate your condition. Avoid over stretching or twisting. READ MORE
