Shoulders can be very tricky, therefore there is only one way to answer your question -- make an appointment with a Chiropractor for a thorough examination so that the causes of your shoulder issue can be determined.

Can you treat shoulder joint pain?
First, Chiropractic has very good success in working with shoulders and other extremities, however you have to find a Chiropractor who works in those areas. Some Chiropractors will only adjust the spine while others, especially sports related Doctors will be able to help you. However, please understand that the pain may be caused by something else happening in your body and the pain radiates to your shoulder. Sounds a little weird, I know, however that is why you need a good evaluation before just having someone only look at your shoulder. For example, I have had people come into the office because of low back pain. After doing the thorough evaluation, it was a problem in the neck that needed to be adjusted first. Once those vertebrae were adjusted, his low back did not hurt anymore and he was walking normally. READ MORE
How do you get rid of back pain?
The first question to answer is when, why, and how did your low back begin hurting. Just to say I have pain, is a typical and yet not helpful question. Then see a good chiropractor for an evaluation of your entire spine. Then, the answer to your question will be more functional, thus less pain for you. READ MORE

With the proper information of your injury, an accurate and proper plan of recovery can be prepared. READ MORE

How long does it take to recover from elbow surgery?
I am sure the recovery rate has a lot of variables, therefore, without knowing the complications and history of your elbow problem makes it very difficult for anyone to give you a valid answer.

Anything is possible however the odds are in your favor to have a success operation, There are so many factors to consider: the nature of herniation and its direction -left, right, central, etc., thus the nerve compression and connection; and the experience and skill of your surgeon, just for starters. As in any situation, get the most experienced surgeon with the least history of complications. READ MORE
What happens to the spine during a chiropractic adjustment?
Chiropractic is designed to help your spine restore the nervous system communication when it is blocked by one or more vertebrae out of line. The adjustment can be done by hand, an instrument, position, etc. Depending on the length of time that your spine had needed to be adjusted, how the misalignment occurred ( poor posture standing, sitting, sleeping, etc),your physical or non physical activity, your mental attitude ( the more positive you are helps the body to function better for you), trauma (any kind of accident, sports activity, accidently falling, slipping,etc.) and nutritionally. How much time you spend on your cell phone, computer, etc due to the nature of forward head carriage. Go to your chiropractic adjustment with an open mind, be prepared to speak directly to your chiropractor. READ MORE
Can a chiropractor help a bulging disc in lower back?
The answer to your bulging disc problem is maybe: it all depends on the true nature of the disc issue: age, location in relationship to the nerve fibers, etc. It is worth a trip to the Chiropractor for an evaluation and hopefully you have an MRI to show. Also, some Chiropractors are very good in disc problem adjustments, while others have special equipment that seems to help with more serious disc issues. I have a Chiropractic friend who, after his evaluation, turns away about 30% of the people because the information of the disc problem does not fit his healing process, however you never know until you have an evaluation. Surgery, in my opinion, should be the last resort. Ask your Chiropractor or Medical Doctor lots of questions before making a decision. READ MORE

Do you feel immediate relief after chiropractic adjustment?
It all depends on your personal situation: A large percentage of people would answer. YES to your question. This is mainly due to their chosen life-style and the reason for their discomfort : ie. the way they slept, or the new exercise routine, or, or, or , -- Hopefully you get the idea. Some folks require a series of adjustments due to the nature of the cause of their pain: fall, automobile accidents, tripping without falling, etc. Also, it is important that you understand that pain in an "individual perception" due to the pain tolerance of each individual -- on a scale of "1-10" with 10 being a lot of pain. One person may call the same basic pain a 3 while another may call it a 9 or 10 -- again a personal pain tolerance identification. Therefore, call your local Chiropractor for an evaluation of your personal condition today. If you do not have a chiropractor, ask your friends for the name of their chiropractor. READ MORE
