Answer
Nada,
Can you send me your films?  X-Rays, MRI's, etc.
You can send them to:       [email protected]  I want to see what is going on and find out more about you before I answer.  As far as chiropractors hurting you, I do not agree at all, chiropractors are the ones who actually help people, especially if you find a good one that truly cares about helping sick people get well.  In your case, I would suggest nothing other than an Upper Cervical Specific Doctor of Chiropractic, as this doctor is much more specific and scientific as well as conservative and quite effective.
I will await your reply and while you are at it, go ahead and send me your town and state so I can see if you have a specialist anywhere near you.

Yours in Best Health,
