It is never too late to correct your posture. There are different stretches that can be done to help alleviate pain and help correct posture. There are also devices you can use, such as posture bands, to help keep your back sitting up while you learn to make this your daily habit. Chiropractic treatment can also help correct your posture.

Neck stretches: gently lower your left ear towards your left shoulder. Hold for 10-15 deep breaths. Repeat on opposite side.

Neck rotations: slowly turn your chin towards one shoulder. Hold for 10-15 deep breaths. Repeat on opposite side.

Before any invasive surgery, I would recommend seeing your local chiropractor for an assessment, and treatment. I have treated many patients with scoliosis and have helped alleviate pain. I would also recommend stretching in the morning, afternoon, and night. Chiropractic care will help, as well as the work you will do at home.

It sounds like you have a pinched nerve. I would recommend seeing a chiropractor to get an assessment, an X-ray, and a treatment. With consistent chiropractic care, the pain will diminish.

As you may or may not know, X-rays just show bones. They don't show soft tissue structures like the tendons, ligaments, meniscus in the knee, muscles, cartilage, etc. Many people correctly assume that their injuries are soft tissue in nature, such as a rotator cuff tear, ligament tear, or meniscus tear. With that being said, if you had a curved spine, we would see that on an X-ray, however if you fell, and injured a ligament, the X-ray does not pick that up. We can however diagnose with a physical examination, any other pain you may be feeling other than what is picked up on an X-ray. In your case, the X-ray should be able to diagnose your deformity.

It sounds like Sciatica Pain, and chiropractic care can help. Sciatica is a condition that is characterized by pain originating in the lower back or buttocks with symptoms felt down one or both legs. It's known as sciatica because it resembles a condition that would be caused by an irritation of the sciatic nerve. This nerve is a large collection of nerve fibres that originate in the lower back, travel down the back of the thigh and calf, and extend down to the foot.

A chiropractor often sees patients presenting with sciatica. You could feel an electric-shock sensation that shoots down the leg, or your leg may endure a burning, tingling or numbing sensation. Recovering from sciatica can be a painful and prolonged process, so buckle up. In addition to getting treatment, there are many things at home you can do to help. Ice therapy is an option. Applying a cold pack to the painful area for 10 to 15 minutes can sometimes provide immediate relief. Taking Omega-3 supplements can help reduce inflammation. Please see your local chiropractor for all advice and treatment options.

It could be a variation of many things. Possible sleep position, mattress strength, or you may have an underlying condition. Try stretching daily, morning and night, consistently for 1-2 weeks. If there is no relief, please seek medical care. Chiropractic care is excellent for the maintenance of your spinal health.
