Pain and large round knots mid-back
Hello, I would advise an ER visit if your condition worsens. Otherwise, you may want to explore a functional medicine chiropractor who can perform numerous tests, i.e., micronutrient, parasite, fungal, food sensitivity, etc. I apologize for my overall vagueness and hope this helps. Dr. Joel D. Duchon READ MORE
Is it OK to exercise after an adjustment?
Hello, I strongly encourage my patients to workout after their adjustments. Adjustments mobilize (move) spinal joints, which increases mobility and reduces pressure on nerves. Less pressure on nerves should mean better nerve flow, which ultimately means better nervous system function, so a more effective workout. Sincerely, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
Should a chiropractor help me with my leg stiffness?
Hello, It would be a good start. Functional medicine and nutritional testing may also be beneficial. Sincerely, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
Can I get adjusted without an underlying condition?
Hello, Spinal hygiene or maintenance is paramount to health. You only get one spine so take care of it. Spinal manipulation has a multitude of benefits, not just pain relief. Spinal manipulation can also help the nervous system continue to function as optimal as possible. I received my first adjustment at 18 following a car collision. I only wish I had known the benefits prior to the collision. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
Can a chiropractor help with spinal stenosis?
Hello, Chiropractic may or may not help, but if you don’t try you will never know. If you have an MRI report, I recommend you take that with you to your initial chiropractic visit. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
How do I choose a good chiropractor?
Hello, I would strongly advise to start by asking close family and friends. It has been my experience that family and friends will usually send you somewhere they had a good experience. 2nd, check the doctors reviews on Google, Facebook and Yelp. Reviews can provide a lot of useful information. At the end of it all, use your best discretion. Not all doctors and patients are good fits. I pray this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
How do you sleep after a chiropractic adjustment?
Hello, Most chiropractic patients find treatments very relaxing with some experiencing soreness similar to starting a new exercise program. Many patients do experience improved sleep, but this isn't all the case. Many variables are at play regarding sleep: neurotransmitters, nutrition, stress, etc. Sincerely, Dr. Joel D. Duchon READ MORE
Is it normal to feel worse after chiropractor?
Hello, Normal, no, common yes. Soft tissue, muscle, tendons and ligaments that help stabilize the spine are also “moved” during an adjustment, meaning their lengths and resting positions are altered. You may feel like you got a deep massage or started a new workout program which is common. Sincerely, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
Which is better for back pain: acupuncturist or chiropractor?
Hello, I would personally start with a chiropractor first and if you don’t achieve relief add acupuncture to your treatment plan. Ultimately, you must do what is right for you. Sincerely, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
Can a chiropractor fix a pinched nerve?
Hello, Pinched nerves are very common, but not normal. Yes, pinched nerves fall in the scope of chiropractic. Sincerely, Dr. Joel D. Duchon READ MORE
Would going to a chiropractor help with headaches?
Hello, Chiropractic may be a solution for you, but the only way to tell is by booking an appointment. An abundance of research does exist correlating headache relief from chiropractic treatments. I pray for your success. Respectfully, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
Can sciatica pain extend to my leg?
Hello, Yes, it can. I have personally treated sciatica patients with spinal decompression with decent success. I would recommend a chiropractic evaluation with a lumbar spine MRI to determine your exact problem. Sincerely, Dr. Joel D. Duchon READ MORE
I have sudden severe hip pain. What should I do?
Hello, Yes, I would recommend seeking treatment from a chiropractor in your area. One thing I can promise, it won’t get better on its own. Respectfully, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
X-rays again?
Hello, All states board requirements vary, but if it has been five years since your last x-rays it would be a good idea to get a new set. A lot can happen in five years and without radiographic evidence, treatment could possibly be more harmful than helpful. Respectfully, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
Can I exercise after a back adjustment?
Hello, I would check with your chiropractor since he/she is more knowledgeable with your current spinal health. I frequently tell my patients if it doesn't hurt, try it, and if it starts hurting, stop, stretch, ice, and inform me during their next visit. Respectfully, Dr. Joel D. Duchon READ MORE
Back injury at workplace. What should I do now?
Hello, I would recommend filing a report with your Human Resources department and evaluate what they advise. Icing first is supported by numerous research. Following up with a highly recommended chiropractor is also advised. Sincerely, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
Can my son's sleep patterns improve with chiropractic care?
Hello, It may help him. Without a full consultation and evaluation, it is hard to say 100%. There are different functional tests that can be performed to better treat your son, ie., nutritional, neurotransmitter fungal, etc. Sincerely, Dr. Duchon READ MORE
What can be done for my sciatica?
Hello, Chiropractic treatment has been an effective treatment of sciatica for numerous patients. Spinal decompression has also been a useful treatment to relieve the symptoms of sciatica. Sincerely, Dr.Duchon READ MORE
What can I do to prepare for my adjustment?
