Question
Almost 3 weeks ago now I woke up with a stiff neck.  I thought it was just a normal stiff neck- I slept wrong or something and it would go away in a day or two.  I was wrong.  It has been weeks and I am still feeling pain from that incident.  It went mostly away after two weeks but is now getting really bad again.  I have tried stretching it, massaging, heat pad, hot shower beating on it, nothing helps.  Can a chiropractor help me?  Thank you!

Answer
Megan,

Thanks for the question. No doubt you need to see a chiropractor.  This is what we do best. Normally when I see someone with this problem after they have had it only a few days, it will only take 1-4 treatments to resolve.  Since you have gone 3+ weeks now, it may take a few weeks of treatment and doing the right things at home to take care of it.  But that will be better than allowing it to continue to irritate you and turn into something long term.

Make the call tomorrow and make an appointment. You will most likely feel some level of instant relief and you will be very happy that you went.

Let me know how you do.
