Mark,


So do you think the regular chiro can fix my numbness? You have chatted many times with me before about the symptom, so I'm sure you remember what I'm talking about.

he basically adjusted what he saw was not right so far. He adjusted my upper neck, mid back, and lower back.


He said that within a few visits, he could try to get to the bottom of it and fix it.

He may be able to help but you should also be icing your neck after an adjustment. I'm concerned about summer camp activities if you still have numbness. Be very careful.

My regular chiro said the same thing but I didn't see any improvements at all after 2 sessions and stopped going. Also, I didn't like the whole twist and crack approach. Perhaps give it a couple more sessions but if you don't see any improvements I'd suggest you switch to a NUCCA or Atlas orthogonal chiro.
