can chiropracter help pain in the base of the skull?

Question

The left side of my neck was so stiff i had to see a chiropractor. It's much. Improved; now on the right side the base of my skull, is a huge knot...?

Answer 1

Depends on the cause: This depends on what is causing the pain and also depends on the chiropractor. A good chiropractor may well be able to help this, but it may also be beyond the scope of chiropractic. I prefer chiropractors who use gently techniques like network and direct non-force. Also consider seeing an osteopath who does manipulation- see http://www.Academyofosteopathy.Org/node/22623.

Answer 2

See a DO. : Chiropractic came to its founder in a dream from the spirit world. DO training is based on modern science like MDs but they include more holistic options and some manipulation. This way the can make sure you are not missing a real medical problem underlying the achiness

Answer 3

Straight leg raise: An easy test to perform to see if the pain may be related to a slipped disc causing sciatica is called the straight leg raise test. If you lay flat and have a friend raise your leg without bending your knee. If this maneuver recreates the butt pain you probably have a slipped disc and should see a doctor. If not this can possibly be a simple low back sprain. See an md if pain continues.

Answer 4

No: No unless you are the doctor!

Answer 5

Pain in the butt: Depends on what is causing the pain. It can be emotional or physical. Best to have him see his doctor to determine what is causing the pain and then getting proper treatment.

Answer 6

Pain : You first of all need to know the cause of the pain before trying to treat it. Good Luck

Answer 7

Wrist pain: Wrist pain can be from a variety of reasons, but most likely is related to repetitive trauma from things like keyboards/computers and manual work. Other questions: any swelling, any finger swelling, any redness, any fever, any rash or other infections? Answers to these may alter the diagnosis.

Answer 8

Many: There are many causes of wrist pain: tendinitis, arthritis, sprains, fractures, and nerve entrapment syndromes. If symptoms are the result of an acute injury, you should be evaluated and treated. If symptoms are minor and started spontaneously without injury, try rest, ice, elevation and immodiliation (bracing). If your symptoms continue beyond a week or so, see your primary care doctor.

Answer 9

Try OTC meda: Try over the counter solutions first like advil Aleve (naproxen) etc.

Answer 10

Sure: Eventually it will. Depending on the medication injected, the location, and any bruising/bleeding, the time to resolution will vary, but should be gone within a week or so.
