Question
I went to a chiropractor six months ago for mid-back pain. For reasons unknown she adjusted my neck. Now I have this terrible gravel, crackle, popping noise everytime I turn my head. I'm afraid it will not go away. It is terrible. I have been to two other chiropractors with no help. What should I do next? Thank you
It sounds as if there is some inflammation in the neck. You can try anti inflammatory medicines (Advil, Alleve, etc), and try using a heating pad to see if it eases. Your chiropractor should also set you up on a rehabilitative program to strengthen the neck.
