should a chiropractor ever push down hard on your head?!


Question: Should a chiropractor ever push down hard on your head?
this last appointment my chiro did this and since I am feeling compaction in my neck and pinching on the side he was focusing on.
I know its not right but you think you can trust them they are supposed to be a licensed profesional right?
has anyone ever had a chiro do this to them?

Answers:

Tina, please try this to see if it will open up your neck. Your shoulder should be able to do these movements without problems. Sit in a straight chair and raise you left arm above your head as high as it can go. Note the height achieved at the fingertip level and then relax the arm. Now do the same with the right arm. You are going to note that one arm went up further so start with that arm. Raise that arm up as high above the head as possible for 30 seconds and then rest it for 15 seconds. Repeat this cycle twice more and then do the same cycle 3 times with the opposite arm. Now turn your head to the left as far as it can rotate noting the endpoint then do the same to the right. Start in the direction that rotated the furthest. Turn the head in that direction as hard and far as you can for 30 seconds and then relax it for 15 seconds. Repeat this cycle twice more in that direction and then do the same cycle 3 times in the opposite direction. Get up and move around. There should be less pain and more mobility. Do these movements at least twice a day.

Every chiropractor approaches a spinal problem in a different way. You might want to find a chiropractor who does low force or even Applied Kinesiology (AK).. Don't just go to anybody get a referral from someone..
