    A proper history and physical exam should be performed with a set of X-rays, if needed, in order to determine the type of treatment. If you are going in with neck pain, an adjustment may hurt initially because most of your pain is coming from pressure on the nervous system and the swelling that goes along with that. When adjusting into swollen tissue, pressure on the nerves will be released, but the swelling is still there, possibly by maintaining that pressure. It is similar to soreness after working out. Proper management and expectations following treatment will guide you in the right direction. READ MORE
