I was in a car accident a few years back . I've been to a chiropractor for several years?


Question:
my traps (side of neck) still always feel tight and hurts. It' s like my shoulders are stuck towards my ears. I've gone so far as to buy my own tens machine which helps minimally and advice ?

Answers:
All chiropractors do the same thing and can't find what is exactly what is wrong. There is one type that is harder to learn. They x ray you and determine how much your 1st vertabrae is out and figure the exact way to get it back in which is different for everyone. Site below explains difference and where one near you is. The guy who created it got an award from Pres. Reagan for research on it.

Let me know after your first adjustment if my advice changed your life. I was at 7 chiros with no help till I went to a NUCCA chiro.

Other Answers:
check with your doctor about physical therapy, look for a therapy clinic that specializes in manual therapy. they can help by adjusting you and giving you exercise that will help. other alternative therapies you might consider are tai chi. i read reports where it has lower chronic pain by almost 80%.

Try to see a chiropractor that does soft tissue work (myofascial release technique) and does an adjustment. I've had troubles since my car accident two years ago. Whenever I feel stressed, or get sick I definitely feel it in the areas that were effected. And the right side of my shoulder, neck and almost into my jaw get really tight. This is something I think I'm stuck with. But when I go in and see the chiropractor I feel so much better. If I have a bad day and can't get an appointment I usually treat it with some ice, Advil and massage it myself. It helps with the headaches that come along if I let it go.
