Before the adjustment my doc would have me lay on this table that moved up and down my back with heat and movement,sometimes [most of the time]it was so painful I could bearly lie there the full 15 minutes (on the lowest setting). After the adjustment, I could hardly walk and the pain never lessened.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the table? - PS My wife loves the table.

If the Chiro adjustment is causing you more pain rather then relief why are you continuing to go? Did you tell the Chiropractor that he/she is hurting you? I know mine would never do an adjustment if it caused more pain and always asked how the previous one made me feel. Time for new Chiro or see an MD. Good luck Chiro should not hurt you!

To DEb. As aresult of the pain I did talk to my M.D. and she ordered a M.R.I. of my spine that is when they found the Syringomelia syrnx`s in my spinal cord,there are 3 of them. Even knowing that my chiro said that he thought that he could help me.But on the advise of the neuro surg.I stopped the chiro treatment`s.I also found out that I have 5 slightly bulging disc`s.

dear Deb,
Syringomelia syrnx is form of cyst in your spinal cord. Direct pressure or stretch on your spinal column (which is what that table is doing) will definitly cause you more pain. think about something directly press on your spinal cord, that is extremely painful. At this point, you should talk to your MD and possible get an orthopetic consult. God Bless.
