Should I crack my neck to relieve pain?


Question:
My dad's a doctor so he knows how to do it. My neck hurts from the back when I try to touch my chest with my chin. Should I let my dad crack it?

Answers:
Unless your dad specializes in adjustments then I would have to say "no" to him "cracking" it for you. The pain you are experiencing in your neck when you touch your chin to your chest is probably a pulled or strained muscle. Light stretches such as moving your neck from side to side and ear to shoulder may help. I had a car accident and had bad whiplash and these exercises helped my neck as well as seeing my CHIROPRACTOR who specializes in this. Some doctors can make adjustments but do not do as much as a chiropractor. Ice and Ibuprofen help with aches and swelling. You can also try the muscle cream called Bio Freeze. It's better than any other cream out there. Hope you feel better.
yeah if the pain is unbearable
no .. you need a warm shower and you take a medicine and take a rest
