Dr. John W. Jung's Expert Contributions
  • Can you treat shoulder impingement with exercises?

    Of course. First go to a chiropractor that does shoulder adjustments. Yours is ANTERIOR SUBLUXATED. 100% of the time. Then you can do whatever therapy you want. You tube videos cover the needed exercises. Never do PT on a area before the subluxation (mini- dislocation). Otherwise, massage, PT and Chiropractic are ideal. Stay away from cortisone, as it does not FIX the problem. READ MORE

  • Can knee arthritis be treated without medications?

    Most knee arthritis comes from an imbalance of the quadriceps muscle. It can lead to a patellar grind situation. Look of VMO exercises on You tube for treating it. Also, eliminate grains and adapt an anti inflammatory diet. Over the counter Voltaren can be sparsely used to reduce arthritic pain, although we prefer MSM supplements for all your joints. READ MORE

  • How can I straighten my scoliosis spine?

    A technique called Chiropractic Biophysics seems to be the best. The next best is inserted hardware, which has a NNT of 1:4, this means it works one in 4 times. The cause is an old fall or trauma in childhood, and it will take some time to straighten. READ MORE

  • How do you treat a dislocated knee cap?

    Local pain creams, since NSAIDS for knee pain actually harm the healing, according to the J of Sports Medicine from 1996. There are exercises on you tube specific to recurrent knee dislocations. A runners knee band is also helpful. READ MORE

  • Is it bad to crack your back by twisting?

    You will typically only move the vertebra that are loose. The joints that are tight, called "subluxations, will need professional manipulation. So there is no right or wrong answer. READ MORE

  • Can sleeping wrong cause shoulder blade pain?

    Of course. Besides stretching the muscles and making an imbalance, the rib that the shoulder is anchored to can get small displacements, called "subluxations" READ MORE

  • Why do my wrists hurt?

    Rheumatoid arthritis, or displaced lunate bone. Tight forearm muscles can also refer to the wrist, called arm "trigger points". READ MORE

  • Can you go to a chiropractor once?

    Do you go to the gym once, exercise once, or wear braces one time? Usually, it takes some time to correct an anatomical process. Or take pain killers, and cover up the problem, while the degeneration gets worse. Do it now, while you are young for the best results. READ MORE

  • Is a chiropractor good for shoulder pain?

    Very few doctors of any type are good at shoulder pain, not even specialists. Unless they are aware of Dugas test, Open can test, Hawkins Hamilton, Speed's, etc, and muscle testing the 4 individual rotator cuff muscles, you can't be sure if you need a chiro to adjust you, surgeon to cut, or PT to work on the muscles, when it may be a joint problem. Without the proper diagnosis, no proper advice can be given. READ MORE

  • Is a chiropractor best for neck pain?

  • I have knee pain?

    It's called runners knee, get the simple brace and do VMO exercises as shown on YouTube. Want to confirm the diagnosis? Have someone hold your knee cap down tight, pushing toward the ankle while you contract your quads. OUCH! READ MORE

  • How do chiropractors help sinus pain and pressure?

    The SCM muscles and the side neck muscles are often tight, so the eustation tubes cant allow the flow of left over mucus. Upper neck adjustments with massage, or acupuncture to some key face points and LI4, in the web of the hand, are successfully used as well. You could also just try to put Halls mentholatum right behind the jaw, under the ear area (I bet it's tender there), and under nose at night. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help with tingling fingers?

    I would trust no other kind of doctor for that. To many surgeons are carpal tunnel surgery happy, and dont resolve the issue. It need to be determined if the problem is neck nerves going to the hands, tight neck, shoulders or in your case, upper chest mucles, vs brachial blood vessels which go to the ulnar and radial portions, or you may have something like reynauds, so a blood test for sed rate and ANA can be useful as well. READ MORE

  • Do chiropractors really move bones?

    Did you ever crack your knuckles? This is called the para physiological joint space, and each joint moves 1-2 mm with adjustments, relaeasing carbon dioxide, creating a "clicking" sound. But the bones are held together with ligaments, and capsuls, to limit dislocation. READ MORE

  • Which exercise is best for foot pain?

    99% of the time it is from fallen arches and trigger point knots in the calves muscle as a result. And calcaneal spurs, and Achilles tendonitis, and subluxated talus bone, and even hip tilt are causes or end products of this. So if you squeeze your calves and that hurts, there's your answer. Get some orthotics made from the chiropractor. READ MORE

  • Can chiropractors adjust feet?

    We can adjust most any bone, hands, elbows, knees, anything that has a joint. If they continue hurting after a couple of visits, orthotic are in order. READ MORE

  • Why does my neck crunch when I roll my head?

    Don't do it. It grinds the joints. Pure flexion and Extn. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor or massage therapist help with migraine headaches?

    Since the brain has no nerves the therapist or chiropractor should easily be able to find the muscle knots in the neck which cause pain radiating into the head. If it's from body chemistry that has to do with serotonin synthesis, foods rich in serotonin may be useful especially if this occurs during your periods READ MORE
