It is a known prob: Problem that after spinal fusion the adjacent areas become unstable and cause symptoms . A chiropractor cannot treat this . You need to see a neurosurgeon .

My ears seem clogged and the back of my neck and sholders always hurts. Sometimes when I turn my head makes a loud crack. When it first started I had bad headaches. Now it's just the ears and the neck. Already been to doctors, meds didn't work. ?
