IS IT BAD TO
"CRACK" YOUR NECK OR BACK A LOT?
The desire to "pop" the neck or back is caused by tension from a jammed
or fixated vertebra, which causes another area of the spine to compensate by moving too
much and "popping" a lot. The jammed part should be adjusted by a chiropractor
so that the rest of the spinal column will balance and stop being so movable.
SO I’M NOT "ADJUSTING" MYSELF?
Cracking or popping your neck gives relief for a while, but soon the urge to pop or
crack reappears because the cause of the spinal tension hasn’t been corrected.
CAN I TELL IF I HAVE SPINAL STRESS WITHOUT CONSULTING A
CHIROPRACTOR?
Not always. A subluxation of spinal nerve stress is like a dental cavity - you may
have it for a long time before symptoms appear. That’s why periodic spinal check-ups
are so important. Although it may be possible to know you have spinal nerve stress, it is
rarely possible to be sure you don’t. An occasional spinal check-up is always a good
idea.
IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE ADDICTIVE?
If only it were (just a little!), there’d be a lot less sick people around
and we chiropractors wouldn’t get patients who last saw a chiropractor "a few
years ago when my back went out." It is possible to get used to feeling more
balanced, less stressed, and more energetic as a result of periodic chiropractic care. You
may become more sensitive to your body and know when you’ve "lost" your
adjustment.
CAN CHIROPRACTIC PREVENT BACK SURGERY?
In a majority of cases the answer is "Yes."
CAN A PERSON WHO HAD BACK SURGERY SEE A CHIROPRACTOR?
Yes. It’s an unfortunate fact that half of those who had spinal surgery
discover a return of their original symptoms months or years later. They then face the
prospect of additional surgery. This too common occurrence is known as "Failed Back
Surgery Syndrome." Chiropractic may help prevent repeated operations.
CAN A PERSON WITH A BROKEN BACK OR NECK SEE A CHIROPRACTOR?
After the break heals, yes. In fact, a broken bone forms a callous or bone scare
when it heals that is stronger than the rest of the bone which should dispel any concerns
about the safety of an adjustment. People who have had broken bones need chiropractic
check-ups because accidents usually cause spinal subluxations.
IS CHIROPRACTIC SAFE?
Yes. Having your spinal nerve stress corrected is important, no matter what
other type of health care you are receiving. Today many D.C.’s and M.D.’s are
working together in clinics and on joint research projects. M.D.’s are quite likely
to have patients who are under chiropractic care, in fact many see a D.C. themselves.
I’M NOT SICK. SHOULD I SEE A CHIROPRACTOR?
Yes. Symptoms are not a good way to judge health. They sometimes surface only after
years of body malfunction (like a tooth cavity).
