How long does a chiropractic adjustment take to work for back pain?
Every case is different, which is why there is no clear cut answer to this. Some cases resolve fairly quickly and some take months to achieve stability. It all depends on your state of health, your nervous system, and your lifestyle as well as how often you are receiving care. I'd recommend finding a local chiropractor and seeking their counsel on your specific case! READ MORE
Can shoulder pain resolve itself?
Pain itself is a neurological signal that something is malfunctioning in the body. I'd recommend continuing to move and be active, but make an appointment to see a nervous system specialist such as a chiropractor to determine the cause, whether it be structural, neurological, or muscular in nature. Depending on the cause and issue itself, you may need a balance between chiropractic and PT. Some pain can self resolve surely, but to be sure it does not occur again in the future, it is helpful to have someone trained in the workings of the human body do a complete assessment. READ MORE
What helps pain after chiropractic adjustment?
It is difficult to answer this question completely without knowing your case history, individual findings, and technique being applied. Every case is different, however, if the pain is worse or changing, be sure to mention this to your chiropractor so they can continue caring appropriately. READ MORE
Can chiropractors help with insomnia?
One of my favorite side effects of chiropractic care is actually sleep improvement. This is because chiropractic care directly affects a system called the Autonomic Nervous System, which controls our rest/digest and fight/flight cycles meaning that when it's working properly, sleep will too. Insomnia is a classic sign of neurological dysfunction causing the body's sleep-wake cycle to become irritated. I'd recommend getting in contact with a trained chiropractor near you (www.pxdocs.com) who can help measure your nervous system and improve your sleep. READ MORE
