Hello,

The short answer is “Yes.” When you are pregnant and through delivery, your body changes to prepare for birth. Your ligaments loosen and it is easier for your body to misalign, which can put abnormal stresses on your hips and back. Chiropractic can address the structural problems causing your pain, where pain pills do nothing to correct the problem. Call your Chiropractor as soon as possible to start getting relief!

Good luck and good health,

Dr Moon

Hello,

It depends on what is causing your hip pain. During pregnancy, the joints loosen in preparation for delivery, and with the extra weight of the baby, it can be easy for misalignment of the joints to occur. You can end up with extra stress on the knees, hips and back and you will need a structural correction. Chiropractors are excellent at helping with these problems. In general, yoga is great for stretching, strengthening, and balance, but your structure must be checked to get the best results.
Good luck and enjoy your new baby!

Hello!

Postural problems may be as simple as a bad habit, but could also be from a structural problem. If a bad posture habit isn’t corrected, it can become a structural problem. It would be a really good idea to have a chiropractic check-up to see if you need structural correction. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can start you toward better posture and a happier husband!
At home, you can pay attention to your posture and sit up straight when you notice yourself slouching, stretch into a corner or doorframe, lay on a foam roller, etc. Unfortunately, there is no magic wand, and your participation will be critical to your posture success.

Best of health,

Hello!

It always depends on what is causing his problem, so an exam first is important, but helping people with low back pain is one of the things chiropractics is best at! Don’t let him suffer another day. Call and schedule an appointment ASAP!

Hello,
It is possible, but an exam in needed. Why are you getting these pains? It's "after" you run, not under the impact of the step? Is it both ankles?
Chiropractic can help you to run better, farther, and smoother by alignment of the spine, pelvis, knees, ankles, feet, and arch. All of these should be checked. Call your chiropractor for an evaluation!

Hello,
This could be from a misalignment of the elbow, wrist, or even from your neck or upper back, or from strain by your daily activities. A Chiropractic examination should check for problems in these areas and a history to find out what causes this to become symptomatic.
Call your Chiropractor to schedule an examination.
Good Luck!

Hello,
Wow! This can be from so many things, such as;
Overused or stretched calf muscles
Misalignment of the foot, arch, ankle, knee, hip, pelvis, or spine.
Blood flow problems.
You need a Chiropractic examination to determine what the cause is. Treatment will depend on the cause. Call your Chiropractor and good luck!

Healthy Hello!

Everyone is different and you need to be examined, but postural and structural correction is definitely something that chiropractic excels in. Check to make sure they do structural correction and not just pain relief, which is another thing that chiropractors excel in.

Have an awesome day!

Dr. Steven Moon

Hello,

I’m so sorry you are having this problem. It sounds awful. You need an examination by a good chiropractor and you will need consent by your parent or guardian so that they can examine and treat you.
Sorry, there is no email cure for this.
5 months is way too long to suffer with this, so please have your parent make an appointment for you as soon as possible.

Best in health,

Dr. Moon

Hello,

Here is a link with a lot of information. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/myofascial-pain-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20375444

It sounds like it involves trigger points and it can turn into fibromyalgia. The link above left out Chiropractics, but I would want to be checked by a good Chiropractor and make use of massage therapy.

Good luck and good health,

Dr. Moon

Hello,
Hmmm. Well, sitting can put a lot of pressure on your back, especially if you don’t have support for your back while you sit. You could try putting a pillow, towel or jacket in the small of your back and see if that helps.
If you are having stomach or GI issues, that can cause pain but not usually in the back. Gallbladder problems sometimes refer pain to the right upper back.
Good luck and good health!

Hi,

Everyone benefits from a better functioning nervous system through Chiropractic care.

However, there is not a direct relationship between an adjustment and ADHD.

My son has Tourette’s Syndrome and he had great results from a brain supplement called EHT from Nerium. You might want to check into that, or CBD oil which I have heard good things about too.

Always check with your doctor though.

Good luck!

Hello,

First, you should have your back checked by your chiropractor. I can't tell what is wrong with you from an email, but I can give you some suggestions which do not replace the need for a medical evaluation. It sounds like you overdid the Zumba. Whenever starting a new exercise program, it is always a good idea to start slow and do less than you think you can. It is so easy to do too much and end up paying for it later. It sounds like you have inflamed your lower back, either irritated nerves, disc, or muscles. A chiropractor can examine you, find out what is wrong, and get you back on the road to Zumba. If you put heat on your low back, take it off and use ice instead for 15 to 20 minutes, then take it off for 20 minutes. You can reapply as often as you need to and it will help with inflammation and pain.

In health,

Hello,

This Is Dr. Steven Moon, Concord Chiropractic.

You should be checked by a qualified Chiropractor to see what is going on in your case. Many things can cause problems like this, including: pinched or irritated nerves, disc narrowing or degeneration, and arthritic spurring. You should be checked to make sure what it is. When you gain weight, it does put more pressure on the spine and it is not linear. If you put on an extra 10 pounds, it can increase pressure on your back by 100 pounds!

Best wishes in good health,

Dr. Moon, Concord Chiropractic

Hello from Dr. Moon!

This could be from several reasons, and you should be checked by a chiropractor to see what exactly is going on. Since it happens when you lay down, I would check your pillow as a possible aggravating factor. Your pillow should support your neck, but let your head fall back a little. I like "My Pillow," but make sure you get the correct size. We even sell them in our office.
Normally, this should not happen. There is probably misalignment of the vertebrae pinching or irritating nerves, or there could be degenerative changes like disc narrowing or arthritis. These things get worse if they aren't taken care of, even if changing the pillow helps, so an appointment is a really good idea.

Good luck!

Chiropractors and physical therapist are very different, but are both helpful for back problems.
Briefly, Chiropractors check for structural misalignment of the joints in the body, especially the spinal vertebrae and pelvis. Misalignments can cause irritation or put pressure on the nerves or spinal cord. Chiropractors use a variety of procedures to adjust the joints, improving mobility and reducing pain. Chiropractors are Doctors and can diagnose, and can send patients to physical therapy.
Physical Therapists usually will give a patient exercises to do during physical therapy, and at home. These exercises help strengthen and stretch various body areas to help improve structure. Most physical therapists are not Doctors.
Both Physical therapists and Chiropractors can use physiotherapy procedures like electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, hot or cold packs, traction, etc.

Recent research found that the best results were reached when a combination of Chiropractic AND exercise was performed.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
