Should i see chiro if neck is swollen on one side?

No: For unilateral neck swelling you should see a physician (md or do).

Absolutely not: Start with your general physician to evaluate this swelling. Chiropractic is based upon an outmoded theory proven to be entirely wrong. They offer only a deep massage but no diagnosis or specific treatment. A new neck swelling requires evaluation and treatment especially if there is functional loss or focal pain.

Why???: Will they be able to tell you if you have enlarged lymph nodes? A tumor? An infection ? Tissue swelling ? They will charge you and you will still need to see an MD to figure out what's going on. Save your money and skip the middle man. Start with a family or primary MD. If nothing serious then you can go to chiro and pay a lot of money for a massage
