  • Can a chiropractor damage your neck?

    No. Unless you have an acute injury such as a fracture, severe arthritis or a congenital malformation that your chiropractor failed to detect. Otherwise, you should be clear to get your neck adjusted by a chiropractor. Sometimes uou may experience slight soreness after an adjustment, but that is just your body getting used to the changes. Make sure he is lcensed and board certified. Dr. Ptacnik READ MORE

  • Does cracking your neck release endorphins?

    That's a tricky one. In general, the short answer is yes. But endorphins can be released by simply visualizing your neck being cracked if you visualize it vividly enough. You can also release adrenaline if you have a nervous perception of cracking your neck. Basically, your perception of what is happening during the crack will determine how much and what kind of chemicals your nervous system releases. READ MORE

  • Can spinal misalignment cause anxiety?

    Short answer is yes. There are spinal misalignments or "subluxations" that directly interfere with your adrenal gland function causing anxiety READ MORE

  • Can chiropractors help anxiety?

    Short answer is yes. But it depends. Anxiety is tricky. it could be a case of "all in your head" in which your thought patterns and perceptions of reality cause hormone and chemical unbalance. Or it could be a mechanical issue. If there is a subluxation in your thoracic spine that directly affects the function of your adrenal gland. Ask your chiropractor if you have adrenal gland disfunction due to a thoracic subluxation. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor put your shoulder back in place?

    Although chiropractors could easily put your dislocated shoulder where it goes, legally, chiropractors are supposed to refer you to an emergency room for a shoulder dislocation at least in Texas where i am from. Our legal scope of practice lets us work with shoulder subluxations. That's when the shoulder is not exactly in its correct place but its not fully dislocated. READ MORE
