Nervous

Im seeing a chiropractor tommorrow. i never really knew what one was. everyone told me to see one bk in 2013 when i had terrible back pain. but it kinda just went away after few years.i couldnt have afforded it bk then.


Anyway since ive had these crawling sensations ive decided i need to see one asap. my first app is tomro late afternoon. i am highly nervous. i read about the noises your bones make and stuff when they manipulate them ect. i will probably end in panic attack. 


Do i have unrational fears/nerves? i wont sleep much tonight.


Thanks guys.

Sarah, There is nothing to be worried about. Chiros can be very helpful. Probably the worst noise that you *might* hear would be the equivalent of snapping your fingers.

The chiro can't treat for nerve issues which is what that crawling sensation is about. You need medication for that. Did you read my response to your post about it? They focus on alignment of your bones and muscles. It is not likely that anything that they do will solve that annoying sensation.

Take care.

I hope the Chiro helped you. I used to go to one but he left and I couldn't find another chiropractor that knew about Fibro. He never manipulated me because it would cause my arthritis and fibro to flare. He used to do laser, heat, massage and use an activator for my lower back and hips. Now I see a physiotherapist weekly. Getting the right exercises especially stretching and lengthening and a little bit of weight involved really helps. Balance usually needs to be improved too.

Hope you see some results! :)
