How to reduce muscle pain after forceful chiropractic adjustments to get the rib re-located?
Patient: I had some forceful chiropractic adjustments to get my rib re-located (somewhere around T-6 through T-10) on the left side, as well as on my neck (the bones at the bottom of my skull). My body did not respond well to these and I have been having muscle spasms/joint problems ever since - it feels like I ve been in a car accident and got whiplash & some other issues. Any ideas for getting my body back to normal (permanently)? For temporary relief, I ve tried acupuncture, massage (deep tissue & Swedish), heat/ice, swimming/walking/stretches, and anti-inflammatories. Thanks for any tips you might have! Doctor: thanks for your question ,First of all you have to do new x rays for your ribs and painful joints to asses any  bony problem .You have to reduce physical and mental stress.Then you should recieve muscle relaxant (sirdalud 4 mg daily before sleep)..NSAID(Meloxicam 15 mg once daily ) in addition to warm fomentations for 3 weeks at least.
