Question
During a class that is similar to phyisicl education we were doing a tumbling unit, and i did a back crawl.  Well when you do it you are supposed to keep your head down close to your chest.  But I did not do that and when I did a backcrawl I heard my kneck and back crack.  It has been hurting for close to a week.  The day I did it, my fingers and toes were tingling, but it stopped the next day.  Would going to a chiropractor help?  I have never been to one before and my roommate's mom suggested that I look into it, to help realign everything.  

Answer
Hello Megan,

   Yes, doctors of chiropractic specialize in biomechanics of the spine and all joints.  A exam will provide you with exactly what was injured and how long it will take to heal.  Adjustments to the spine or joint reduce pressure in the joint and on the nerve, thus reducing pain and restoring proper function of the injured joint.

Hope all goes well,
