My mother has developed a problem of shaking hands. What could be the reason behind it?

My back hurts when I sit down. Why?
Could be a number of things. Physical examination is the most important thing a patient can receive. The first thing that pops to mind is piriformus syndrome, but impossible to tell without an exam. See your chiro or primary. Have a great day. READ MORE
Do chiropractors typically take x-rays?
This used to be a common thing as chiropractors would use it to determine spinal listing and any other existing conditions. Now it's not done for a number of reasons. 1) xray exposure ( even though today's X-rays are much less than previously). 2) cost most facilities don't have it in their budget to maintain and provide X-rays. 3) insurance often will not pay for a "screening" through X-ray. 4) often most other people have previous imaging.
