How do i know exactly what does a chiropractor look for when adjusting your spine and neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: Just as a pt would, exam would be done to determine the source of pain. Given your age, x-rays not likely to show any significant abnormality. All lines and angles aside, these numbers are meaningless. Consider manipulation as a high energy/short phase massage that results in immediate elongation of painful muscles followed by a relaxation phase. Not likely harmful.
