I went to a chiropractor today and had my neck and upper back adjusted. Before I went I couldn’t turn my head at all, and now I can, but when I do, I get severe pain in my left shoulder. Is this pain because of the treatment, or do I need to go back and see the chiropractor again?
You need to see a medical doctor, get an exam and perhaps some x-rays. Pain is an abnormal symptom that needs investigation. Nothing against chiros…I’ve had successful chiropractic treatment myself, but they are limited on what they can do. When a treatment leads to increased pain or referred pain, it’s time for medical intervention.
