Answers:
You should not go to the chiropractor instead see a physical therapist & an orthopedist and also ask your primary care physician what he thinks of you going to a chiro first!. Trust me he wont think much of him!.

Here is the truth about what they do!. A chiropractor can do spinal manipulations to relieve stress on spinal nerves caused by things like muscle tension or a slight misalignment of the discs!. The manipulation is not a permanent change of anything though, and no - they can't permanently change the natural shape or curvature of a spine!. An orthopedist can evaluate the situation and determine if a scoliosis is actually present, and if a brace would be of help!. A brace has to be individually fitted though- it's not a one size fits all proposition!. A chiropractor can be helpful in musculo-skeletal aches and pains, through manipulation and massage- but aside from that it's all smoke and mirrors!. If you have back pain from the misalignment, they can help relieve that!. But nothing they do is going to be a permanent fix!. Spines don't work that way!. To change a spine takes surgery and braces!. Most chiropractors are quacks and want to take a full body X-ray and have you going to them for a long time!. In my opinion they are just as good a back rub!. But to each his or her own!. Chiropractors do not have a medical degree nor are they FDA approved!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ouch! It must really hurt! You can try Aspercreme, it does work and will give you temporary relief!. There are also traction devices you can buy without a prescription, that you can use at home to help relieve the pressure!.

Also, have you tried swimming!? I know your range of motion is probably limited, but there are swimming exercises you can do that will take the place of going to a Chiropractor!. The water will give you some bouyancy that will take the gravity off your back!.

I hope this helps and I wish you all the best!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unfortunately, sometimes surgery is the only answer!. There are other options, such as an epidural pain block injection, but many times these just mask the pain without really healing the problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
