How long until my neck pain goes away while seeing a chiropractor?
I’ve been going to a chiropractor for 9 weeks now, going twice a week. I started out with severe neck and shoulder pain. The pain has decreased drastically, but still have some pain. My mid back is extremely tight and not adjusting when I go. My dr. says neck and shoulder pain take longer to fix, but how long will I continue to have pain?
Ooops, I just read that says 9 weeks, I meant to type 3 weeks.
I’ve worked in the chiropractic field for 10+ years.
You should ask him if he’s in favor of placing a hot pack on your mid back for 10+ minutes before he adjusts you. This will help relax your mid back muscles and he should be able to get some movement.
As for how long it will take to "fix" – each patient is different as is each injury. But be prepared to continue with a "maintenance program" even after the pain goes away. Most Chiropractors like to keep you under their care for a minimum of 12 months.
I wish you a speedy recovery soon!
How can I get rid of neck pain due to playing a video game?
I played Halo last night for about three hours. Midway though playing I lowered the seat down. I think that’s why it hurts, because I had to look up at the screen a bit more.
I thought if I went to sleep and rested a bit, I’d feel fine the next day, but no, the pain is still there when I have my neck in certain positions. I can straigthen out my neck with a bit of pain, but can’t seem to arch it back anymore then that.
Anybody go through this before?
Bunch of stupid answers so far.
Of course I’m not playing anymore and the seat is back up.
If you don’t know what you’re talking about, what’s the point of answering?
This has happened to me for a long time. (seasoned gamer) I use a video game chair that has some head support or I try to stay level with the screen. Just try finding a way that makes your head you straight forward or down. That should help some. – Have fun owning noobs!-
