Neck and dizziness

Hello, I was wondering if you can PLEASE answer my question. For the last 5 months I wake up in the morning and when I turn my head my neck has a slight click noise. (it is not painful it is just sore) as the day goes on it isnt painful or sore but When I rotate my head it literally sounds like bones cracking in the back of my neck (but there is no physical pain and no soreness) My main concern is would this be causing me to feel dizzy? I do sleep and always as long as I have know slept laying straight on the bed and my head turned toward the left (laying on the right side of my head) I only use one pillow also. I have never seen a chiropractor and was wondering if I would benefit from seeing one to relieve my dizzinessThank you!

what could be causing the pain in my neck and shoulder?

Around the middle of November of 2017, I started to have a stiffness/soreness in my neck. As time went on the sorness went to my left shoulder and down the arm.
I have a tingling in this arm and sometime the muscle jumps. What could be causing this? I have no health insurnece at this time due to being let go from my job in September of 2017.

siatic pain

I have a tremendious amount of pain in my right hip to my foot. after many xrays and an MRI my doctor said there wasn’t much that could be done, that a buldging disk was pinching the nerve and would just take time to heal. some days I can barely walk, every morning I lay there dreading getting out of bed because the pain is so bad. I can not sit on anything soft as it puts pressure in my hip and causes such severe pain I cry.
I have been on meds for a few months now, this is a 4 year condition I have. the pain meds do not seem to help much, but enables me to get around.
Is there any home tips I can do to make things bearable or releive my pain.
I have also been put on medication for depression, steming from my back pain.
This is horrible. any suggestions, pleae let me know.

Scoliosis and Ab workouts

I was told by a Chiro when I was younger that I had scoliosis. No indication that I need a brace but now I am trying to do Ab workouts but I’m not getting good results and I feel it is due to the fact that the scoliosis made me very sway back.
I therefore can’t keep my lower back on the ground when doing the exercises the way they say to. Are there any exercises you know of that I could do for my Abs since I have the curvature of the spine??????

Help with a term

Hello. My name is Alyssa and I have a little bit of a strange question. I’m a new court reporter who is just starting out and the first case I had dealt with someone who had been involved in an auto accident and was going for physical therapy/chiropractic care. Anyway, I must have misstroked this therapy techinque because I cannot figure out what it is. All I know is the question was “Did they ever do KWAOUS auto drivers” in steno. So it’s KWAOUS/AO/TKRAOEUFERS, the “KW” in sten is substituted for the Q but also c, and the witness answered yes and the follow-up question was “that makes a clicking noise”? If anyone knows anything that resembles this technique/therapy, please let me know!! I am kind of freaking out here. Thanks a bunch

It hurt for months.
My thumb is twisted out a bit and there is a bone lump where as my other thumb is looking fine.Years have passed and now my thumb joint where it meets my hand is hurting and my top thumb joint pops when I move it. It hurts throughout the day but mornings is at its worst.
I do have osteoarthritis in other parts of my body.

uneven

Basically my whole body is uneven.
It’s not noticeable to other people until I point it out but one of my shoulder blades sticks out farther than the other, one side of my rib cage sticks out farther than the other and one of my shoulders is higher than the other.
Is this something that seeing a chiropractor could help??
