Question 1

my back feels worse after the chriopractor. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Back pain: General advice is to use an anti inflammatory like Ibuprofen as well as a muscle relaxant to help if you have muscle spasms. Heat over the tight muscle can also help. You should see your doctor if symptoms worsen.

Question 2

what are the benefits of seeing a chiropractor?

Accepted Answer

As an orthopedist-: -I actually see no benefit for major orthopedic problems. 4 sore or acing back or other things of this sort may make you feel better but if left alone the will clear by themselves.

Question 3

hi. i have osteoporosis and was wondering if it was ok to c a chiropractor?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Not all,chiropractic uses high velocity force (bad for your condition). Many modalities such as massage, electricity, mobilization exercises, stretching, dietary changes and nutritional,supplements may be helpful,for you. X-rays should be taken and be certain to discuss your concern with YOUR chiropractor.

Question 4

can a chiropractor turn my baby?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely no: Turning the baby to facilitate delivery is a technique that saves a great deal of misery.  It is done by an obstetrician and occasionally your family doctor.  There is absolutely nothing in the training or knowledge of a chiro to perform this procedure.  If you are offered this by a chiro, run away fast.  See you obstetrician.

Question 5

how can i find a great chiropractor?

Accepted Answer

Ask around: Back and neck pain are very common, affecting 60-80 percent if the population; so in all likelihood some of you'd r friends and neighbors probably have used a chiropractor and can likely steer you toward a good one.  A primary care doctor would also know the reputation of the chiropractors in your area as well.  Beware of picking one just based in an ad you see in the paper.

Question 6

what can i expect at a chiropractor appointment?

Accepted Answer

Chiro Care: You can expect to be treated very professionally, with attention to your complaints.  You will have a thorough assessment of your general musculoskeletal health.  You may be referred for xrays depending upon your complaint and a program of therapy will likely be proposed.  Chiropractic care uses a philosophy of manipulative therapy similar to massage and osteopathic manipulation to alleviate pain.

Question 7

could a chiropractor tell that you're not a virgin?

Accepted Answer

No: Not by doing one of their usual exams, which does not include checking your private parts. (truth is, "virginity" can't always be determined by any physician.) chiropractors are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as physicians and nurses.

Question 8

please let me know?

Accepted Answer

Not what we do: This is not a referral site. This is the HT public forum where volunteer docs answer questions about health conditions. You are welcome to post such questions. We have no access to or information about the thousands of health plans that operate around the world where this site can be see. Contact your plan for such information.

Question 9

is massage a normal part of a chiropractor's practice?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is in fact all they have to offer.  They provide a strenuous massage which can offer temporary relief but not a cure.  They have an expansive notion of the causation of illness by spinal dysfunction that is in fact totally wrong.   If you need a massage, a massage therapist can offer a relaxing and gentle treatment that is usually much more satisfying.

Question 10

i have been seeing a chiropractor for at least a month now...

Accepted Answer

Need more info...: It would be helpful to know why you are seeing a chiropractor? Is the treatment helping? What is your question about this? Chiropractor treatments can take a while, depending on what is being treated. If you could provide more information, that would help us answer your question/concern. Best of luck to you!!
