should I see a chiropractor

I am a 26 year old male in mostly good health.
The problem is I always have neck, shoulder and upper back pain. One of my shoulders is higher than the other and I feel like I am “uneven” like my head is always slightly tilted to one side no matter what I do.
My only concern is that I have osteoporosis.
I am taking meds to make my bones stronger but should I avoid going to see a chiropractor because of this even though I am always in discomfort?

Back crack gone horribly wrong?

Help!
I know its totally my fault and I shouldn’t of let him do it but I let some idiot crack my back for me at work the other day.
I’ve had it done to me loads of times before and its always helped to losen things up but this moron was showing off and did it really violently – it made a louder then usual noise and it really hurt.
I’ve never had any problems with my upper back only my lower back but over the past four days my upper back feels like its been pulled all across my shoulder blades and I get sharp pains when I move in a certain way or breath in to my full lung capacity – it feels like its getting worse not better.
My spine doesn’t feel like its been knocked out so I’m praying hes not done any long term damage? Does it sound like muscle strain or like hes done something to a nerve perhaps? How does this kind of thing heal?
Will it feel worse before it gets better?
I’m so skint I don’t have the money to see a chiropracter but I’m really worried I’ve done something awful to myself – any ideas?

orthotics

(2 discussions)

I am a long distance runner training for a marthon. I have custom made orthotics and have always run with them. (fitted by my chiropractor).
I have always taken out the liner in my new shoe then inserted my orthotic.
Is it best to do it that way, or to place the orthotic on top of the liner already in the shoe? The ortotic is hard plastic, of course, with the toe section padded.

limb and joint pain

I am having sporadic pain in my limbs and joints.
The pain seems to last for a few seconds up to a day and changes location often.
I have been tested for rheumatoid arthritis which came back negative. Could this pain be cause by a misalligned spine or stressed muscles on the spine.

Elbow pain/lower arm

(3 discussions)

Greetings.
I’m an active Marine, and an avid weight lifter and have been experiencing back, neck, and more recently elbow pain.
The first two I’ve learned to live with, but the elbow pain is getting real bad, real fast, eminating in the center of the elbow joint itself, and seeming to run down the length of my ulna to my hand.
The pain is often accompanied by a burning feeling.
Hope it’s not a new STD.
Is this tennis elbow/tendonitis?
If so, is there a treatment other than not lifting and taking motrin?
I am inexperienced in diagnosis. Regards, Jake.

Left shoulder blade pain

I’m 21 years old. I have a lot of tension (epilepsy), and I’ve been having aggravating, sometimes extreme, pain, which is mainly on a small region right on the tip of my left shoulder blade.
It’s tender to the touch and when the pain is at its worst, it hurts between my shoulder and my neck and sometimes my upper arm gets sore. The whole left side of my neck to my shoulder feels like a big bruise when I touch it but especially that one spot on my shoulder blade.
Sometimes it’s just a throbbing or lingering pain but other times the pain is stabbing and stinging.
I haven’t lifted anything heavy and it’s been this way for quite some time, but I think it’s getting worse. Could it be a nerve?

Pain between shoulder blades

(2 discussions)

I often get pain between my shoulder blades.
The pain seems to be related to tight bundles of muscle on either side of my spine, and can often lead to headaches and nausea if left unattended.
It seems to be treated and relieved by acupressure massage but always returns in 10-14 days. Are you able to give any possible causes? Are there any possible preventional treatments, self treatments or long term treatments that would not require returning to a massage therapist every two weeks?
