If you haven't been to a chiropractor before, then you're probably a little nervous about getting an adjustment -- and you're not sure what to expect. Here, a chiropractor answers your questions, revealing what your first chiropractic visit will be like, the average chiropractor visit cost, and an overview of what a chiropractor does when you visit their office.
I suffer from ongoing neck pain. My favorite 'adjustment' at the chiropractor's office (up til now) has been what I refer to as 'the neck crack' or 'that one that twists your neck'. Then, I read about the dangers of having a chiropractor crack your neck, so I studied up on it. Here's what I've learned about neck manipulation -- both from having it done myself and from talking to my chiropractor and others about it.
I see a chiropractor for back, neck, and shoulder pain. My chiropractor gave me his tips for the best sleep positions, how to keep your body in alignment yourself, and how to treat lower back pain -- so I'm sharing them with you.
I absolutely love my microwave heating pad. It works for all of my aches and pains. My favorite is the large sectioned microwave heating pack from Thermal-Aid. It's actually a heating AND cooling pack in one! It comes in lots of shapes and sizes and conforms to your sore body parts. I also got one of their cute heat/ice packs for children shaped like cuddly teddy bears. These have become my favorite new heating pads!
I've found a number of neck stretches that really work for me to alleviate the tense pressure in my neck that builds up after spending time at the computer. This neck pain that usually lingers into the night. The following neck stretches are some of the same ones that the chiropractor and physical therapist recommended to me. They really work!
If you are a looking for neck pain treatment, then you'll be thrilled to learn that help is right at your fingertips, and it takes less than 5 minutes to do these neck stretches... that REALLY work! Seriously, I suffered from chronic neck pain and it's possible to find neck pain relief without spending a ton of money.
I was actually very, very VERY skeptical of chiropractors at first. But, after visiting a chiropractor for nearly 2 years now, I'm now singing the praises of chiropractic care. Here's why.
