Does chiropractic care soothe heartbreak?

Yes and no....if you have joint fixation in your spine, this can lead to a decrease plane of movement, spinal manipulation by a qualified chiropractor with advanced knowledge of neurology can help to increase that plane movement, which will create an uptick in the novelty to the appropriate cerebellum, which in turn will lead to an increase in cognitive capacity. In simpler terms, it is like when someone is feeling down and they go outside and they just sit and listen to nature, or go for a nice walk down a trail. By the time they are through, they feel better. Will it instantly cure your heartbreak for good? No, but it will start the process of healing.
Good luck.

Why is my lower back pain worse in the morning?
At 59, you are probably dealing with some early onset degenerative changes to the spine; it's normal at 59. The joints, as they age, become wore down, and this leads to decreases READ MORE
At 59, you are probably dealing with some early onset degenerative changes to the spine; it's normal at 59. The joints, as they age, become wore down, and this leads to decreases in range of motion and then stiffness. So, I would work on some stretching. Heating pad at night before bed, maybe some cardio if you aren't doing that already. It will get better.
How should I sleep to fix rounded shoulders?
Sleep your normal way....the best way to fix your rounded shoulders is to activate your extensors....so get in that gym and work on your back more than your chest or shoulders READ MORE
Sleep your normal way....the best way to fix your rounded shoulders is to activate your extensors....so get in that gym and work on your back more than your chest or shoulders or arms.....at birth we are flexed beings....but as we grow up we get upright and our extensors take over....so help those back muscles out and you will see those rounded shoulders disappear.

Ice....anytime you have an acute muscle injury...think ice.
Is it possible to straighten a curved spine?
No...and don't let any doctor or Chiropractor tell you that they can...if they do...run! At 33 years of age the curve you have is the curve you will have for the rest of your READ MORE
No...and don't let any doctor or Chiropractor tell you that they can...if they do...run! At 33 years of age the curve you have is the curve you will have for the rest of your life. Generally, if you are referring to scoliosis, then by the time you hit 18 the curve will not change for the worse....or the better. But, don't feel too bad, most people walking around on the planet have some sort of spinal deviation....and in most cases, with good activity and muscle strength work you can keep your pain to a minimum and enjoy a great life.

Hello,
Well, in all honesty, I don't like to use the term "heal" when I am treating or referring to a herniation. Disc or fluid moving mechanism and they seldom ever really "go back" once they are herniated. There are different terms when referring to disc herniation and they are basically measured. So, the question would be, can I get this under control and reduce my pain and increase my range of motion? Yes.

Well a good orthopedic examination can rule out whether or not it is an actual hip problem, or if it really is a bilateral SI joint issue. A lot of times people think they have a hip issue, but true hip pain is actually in the front and not in the back. A good chiropractor can rule this out.

Normally with a "slipped" disc the best position will be on your back with your legs bent at 90 degrees with some pillows under them to achieve this position. This position is known as flexion and will take some of the strain off the irritated disc.
Should I see a chiropractor for a slipped disc?
Yes and no.... The term "slipped" disc is a bit uninformative. A chiropractor worth his weight in gold would do an extensive neurological exam on you, then refer you for some imaging. READ MORE
Yes and no.... The term "slipped" disc is a bit uninformative. A chiropractor worth his weight in gold would do an extensive neurological exam on you, then refer you for some imaging. Start with X-rays and then an MRI after that. These will help the chiropractor to determine how large and what, if any, "slipped" disc you might have. After gathering all that info, then the chiropractor should be able to reasonably determine if they can help you, or refer you to an ortho or neuro specialist.
Do ankle sprains ever fully heal?
Yes and no.... The injury will heal, but when a ligament is injured or torn, the body tends to want to heal the affected area rather quickly so it can get you back to what you READ MORE
Yes and no.... The injury will heal, but when a ligament is injured or torn, the body tends to want to heal the affected area rather quickly so it can get you back to what you were made for: moving. So, in a sense, yes. But, no in the sense that you need to take some active measures to help this injury heal to its max ability. Ice the area every night, get you a tennis ball and, while sitting, put it under your foot and start rolling on it. This will increase your ROM and reduce your pain, etc. Always consult your medical provider for more info as well.
