Hello,

It is a good question. First off, It should never be extremely painful. It may hurt a little, but the pain should go away.

It will also vary depending on how severe the diagnosis is. If it is severe, then we work on gently manipulating it, if it less severe we work on being more aggressive.

Hello,

It's a great question. First off as chiropractors, we focus on joints and specifically joint movement. If we find that there is a lack of movement in the toes then we adjust them. This to help increase function and help decrease pain sensation.

Hello,

Thank you for your question. If your neck is painful, it is best to rule anything serious out by seeing your musculoskeletal specialist.

With that being said, the best sleeping position is the one that doesn't hurt or causes you pain AND makes you comfortable. That means try different positions. Try it without a pillow, with a pillow or try two pillows.

Have a great day,

How soon after an injury can I exercise?

Hello, Dr. Dan here,

The answer will vary depending on the severity, type, presenting symptoms and more with your injury. In all cases a licensed professional needs to be consulted before determining if exercise is safe to perform.

Most musculoskeletal injuries will take care of themselves within 6-12 weeks, the best thing for most injuries is to keep moving safely. I educate my patients on the following scale:

1. 0-3(out of 10) discomfort while doing a movement, is a green light, as long as it doesn't become worse in the next 48 hours (GREEN LIGHT).

2. 4-6(out of 10) discomfort, activity should be reduced/modified to bring it down to the green light level (YELLOW LIGHT).

3. 6+ (out of 10) discomfort that activity should not be pursued (Red Light).

As stated before if you are experiencing any pain, a licensed professional should be consulted to make sure it is safe to move.

I hope this helps,

Dr. Dan

Hello, Dr. Dan here.

The best way to still move and not cause pain, is to modify the movement to reduce the discomfort. Whether that be trying a different technique, having someone assist you, etc. If you have not already I would get the discomfort checked out by a healthcare professional, to make sure there is nothing serious happening, if you haven't already. Hopefully this helps you.

blessings,

Dr. Dan
