Is there a way to treat back pain arising due to long sitting hours?
Sitting is the new smoking- it is causing serious health issues- back pain is one of them! Getting up frequently is necessary (set a timer), foam roller has been shown to help (but with pain you are past this option), rest is necessary to heal and getting your spine checked to see if the spinal bones are aligned- if not- adjustments help retrain the body from unhealthy lifestyle choices like sitting too much.

What is the lump that I can feel right behind my neck?
Lumps arise from several different issues, soft tissues can form scare tissue and produce lumps, bones move forward, backward, left and right- so if a bone is out of alignment a lump can form. Lumps could be benign or more serious. I recommend getting it checked at your local doctor. Yes, a chiropractor would be able to help you address this as well. READ MORE
Why is there pain in my neck and head every morning?
A pillow could contribute to pain however the pillow is not the real problem. A proper evaluation would help determine what the pain in the neck and head is coming from- go to your MD or your local chiropractor. The MD may give you drugs which will not correct the problem just get you out of acute pain. The chiropractor would evaluate spinal function and determine function of muscles, artery's, joints, and bones. Depends on what your goals are to get your body healing. READ MORE
What causes slipping rib?
Ribs move all the time. Ribs move in and out to allow us to breath. The question is why is this rib moving more? The ribs attach to the spine in the back and the sternum in the front with cartilage. The cartilage can get injured and allow the ribs to move or the spine can shift out of its healthy position and change how ribs move. This is joint or ligament issue. Evaluation of motor unit (joint) would help you understand what is causing this problem. Chiropractor's review the joint and determine function, MD's would refer for PT and strengthening/ stretching.

Why does my back feel sore?
Soreness could be caused from not moving at night, stiffness from the day, tension in the body, tight muscles that need to be stretched, a subluxation. Are you doing body care? Are you stretching and strengthening your body 4 days weekly? Are you doing spinal care - getting your spine checked for subluxations? Are you sleeping long enough? Think about what needs your attention and address that. READ MORE
Should I see a chiro after a car accident?
If you are still experiencing discomfort from an automobile accident 4 months earlier, a second opinion would help you figure out what is going on and why you are still struggling with pain. A chiropractor deals with the nervous system which controls spinal movement and function of nerves, muscles and organs. Call if would like to see how your nervous system is functioning or it's lack of function. READ MORE
