Extreme Pain After Chiropractic Adjustment | Dr Paul Groulx Chiropractor in Ottawa

[@Guccithreat]

Thanks doc! Stopped going to the chiropractor for a long time and my lower back was tight, got adjusted left and felt like I could barely walk or move happy it’s normal

[@DrPaulGroulx]

Some discomfort is normal...but barely able to walk isn't. When my patient spoke of "extreme pain" it was relative and it turned out to not be so "extreme" after all. Ihope you bounced back.

Hi I've had 4 sessions now tilted pelvis been getting strange crawling feeling chiro says it's nerves waking up and really sore bum and hips

[@DrPaulGroulx]

Hmmm, hard to say. Always best to consult back with your chiropractor. If what they say is reasonable, then follow their recommendations. They are pros and most will give you the straight goods.

I have been through hell from Dr to meds to physio and nothing helped. Finally visited a chiropractor, hoping to feel better soon

[@DrPaulGroulx]

Oh I hope it does for you too. Don't give up.

How are u now

[@TheSparklespk]

No previous back pain or any pain - never injuried Healthy and very active 28yr old female and 10 weeks pregnant. Chiropractor states need adjustment after assessment. After two days have bad pain in lower back with touching toes, arching back while laying down or standing, and sitting up in bed from a supine position. Should I go back? Is this normal? Any tips?

[@DrPaulGroulx]

Sorry I missed your comment. You must be around 22 weeks by now. I hope you went back to inquire. Yes - this can happen. On occasion an adjustment can go a little deeper than we wanted but it is a matter of making some minor changes the next visit when appropriate. The best person to ask is your chiropractor. If for whatever reason, you don't feel comfortable going back, consider consulting with another doc who sees a lot of pregnant moms to be. In my experience, a good number of female chiropractors (a huge generalization) like to focus on moms and babies...maybe their technique would suit you better. Final notes. 1. Check out another video on my chanel about adjusting pregnant moms to be. It can be very gentle. It SHOULD be. 2. In my experience moms who receive chiropractic care throughout their pregnancy have fewer complications and shorter, easier labor and deliveries. Would love to know how you are doing

Hiii I hope you see this but, iv been going to a chiropractor for 2 months because iv had a really bad hip hike that gave a 2 cm leg decrepancy... abs this time it really gave me bad pain in the back of the knee... like sharp pains and shooting is this normal?

[@DrPaulGroulx]

hard to say Rachel. Sharp shooting pains sounds like a nerve being pinched or something inside the knee being pinched. Your clinician will be able to help.

Chiropractor adjusted my calcaneus yesterday and omg I'm in severe pain this morning 😞 just trying to find out if this is normal, I felt this was when he adjusted my SI joint the first time. Your video gave me helpful reassurance

[@DrPaulGroulx]

Sorry I missed your comment. How is your heel now?

[@angelar.2088]

I felt worse every time . I feel bad all the time and couldn't cope with the pain afterwards but I will try again soon......😒

[@DrPaulGroulx]

I hope you can find relief. :(

Thank you for making this video. I've had a constant headache everyday with a whole bunch of other scary symptoms for 8 months straight and I finally decided to go see a chiropractor for my first time a month and a half ago. Got xrays taken and found out my C1 is badly out of alignment. So he adjusted it there the first time, my symptoms diminished a lot! Then a week later, I went back, and again, seemed to be improving. But this last one, a week ago, wasn't the same. This burning headache, with facial pain Is back full force! I'm so scared to go back again this Friday dec 8th. Why would the first two adjustments help, but not the third? Any advice would be appreciated.

[@DrPaulGroulx]

Sorry I didnt see this earlier. Occasional worsening can happen. It's normal. A dangerous symptom in this case could include; sudden onset of a headache (like a thunderclap), weakness in your extremities, slurred speech, visual disturbances balance problems...the more of these you have at the same time, the more concerning it would be. Did you have facial pain at your initial visit? Where in your face? Keep in mind I can't properly assess you over YT but the best step is to go back and have it reassessed. If your symptoms accumulate (the ones I described above) then a visit to an ER could be warranted. For all the fear people have about what we do and all the stories (mostly recycled and embellished) we pay next to nothing in malpractice insurance. Why? Because chiropractic is safe. Would love to know how you are progressed.

How long did her pain last?

[@DrPaulGroulx]

Just a few hours. I saw her again a few days later and she was doing great. Inflamed joints "complain" at the onset of care. It is to be expected.
