I went to A chiropractor for almost a year to fix a lower back and Neck Pain brought on by martial arts injuries. The pain is better (not fixed, but better), but now my neck and back randomly and frequently crack during the day and even sometimes cause pain or Headaches when they crack. Any suggestions? can the spine and neck joints be restrengthened? Thanks for any suggestions.
the "cracking" as you say is a good thing when the doc does it but not so good when you do it, especially if it happens all the time. If you are still seeing your chiro 2-3 week after a year, you do not have a good doc. He / she is going for the paycheck and is adjusting you WAY too much causing your joints to be hypermobile.
Find a chiro who will taper your visits down from 2-3 week for two weeks ---> x1 week for a few weeks ---> x1 /every other week ---> x1/month.
You should be on a x1/ month program within 2- 3 months. More than that is a lot of excessive visits. The doc should be giving you neck exercises by now (after a year) to strengthen that area, because, YES the spine and all of the joints in your body can be rehabbed and (re)strenthend.
Do not dismiss chiro treatments altogether, just the doc who goes after your pocketbook.
