Of course call sooner rather then later if in pain. Pain is a warning sign that something isn't working properly. Don't cover it up with medication, that's like turning off the fire alarm. It is much easier to restore function, remove pain and relax muscle spasms when it's early rather then something that's been there for months, let alone years. Pain is only part of the reason to call. You only perceive about 60% of the pain your body is experiencing. Getting a chiropractic check up can catch problems before a full-blown episode occurs. A healthy spine makes good sense.

The first visit usually takes about an hour. That usually gives you enough time to fill out some simple paperwork, discuss your concerns with the doctor, and have a thorough examination. After that, the doctor will determine if your problem could benefit from care and if so, start treatment.

It is hard to make recommendations without a thorough history and examination. In general, you can't go wrong with ice. Ice blocks pain and helps decease inflammation, both good when there is a new injury. Heat feels good, but it's not always good initially, especially not at night. Also try moving around, when you move it can decrease swelling and help block the pain. So, don't stay in bed too long.

Anyone can benefit from chiropractic care. Children respond so fast, and they enjoy the treatments.
