Chiropractic

Chiropractic is from Greek words meaning done by hand. It is a system of healing or therapy that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems. The method of treatment commonly involves manipulation of the spinal column and other body structures. It is grounded in the principle that the body can heal itself when the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems are all functioning properly.

You tried to pop your neck but ended up in extreme pain what can you do to get rid of the pain?

It should go away on its own over time, how much time will depend on how much damage you did. You have likely either irritated a facet joint, sprained a ligament or strained a muscle. It is also possible that you have caused a spasm in some of your neck musculature. Either way, time will resolve the problem. If it is not going away fast enough for your liking, go see a chiropractor, who will be able to help you out.

Lastly, it is not recommended that you "pop" your own neck, as too much amplitude, or an improper motion can cause damage to the joints, muscles and ligaments in your neck. Because the neck has so much more mobility and less stability than the rest of your spine (to allow for good head movement) it is easier to do damage here. I would recommend seeing a chiropractor if you feel that you could benefit from manual therapy of you neck (eg: if you have a stiff neck, neck pain, headache, dizziness, etc.).

What is an iliosacral subluxation?

Lets breakdown the 2 words your are asking about.

I believe you are asking about the term "subluxation."  A subluxation is an old term used by chiropractors used to imply a joint dysfunction.  It was used because very often when a chiropractor finds a joint dysfunction the joint feels to be slightly out of place.  Subluxations are used to describe dysfunctions within segments of the spine (i.e. a C4 subluxation is mal-positioned in comparison to C5 & C6).  This term "subluxation" is used by medical doctors to describe a partially dislocated joint.   When this term is used by a medical doctor it implies a more severe situation that when it is described by a chiropractor.  This term when used by a medical doctor implies instability and may require aggressive interventions.  A better term used for the chiropractic "subluxation" is either a segmental dysfunction or somatic dysfunction.

Iliosacral or sacroiliac describes a joint formed in the back of the pelvis.  This joint is formed by the sacrum as it articulates with the ilium.  Often this pain in this joint is described as being low back pain that is just above the buttock on one side.

A chiropractor might use the term sacroliliac subluxation to describe a dysfunction of this sacroiliac joint that is believed to respond well to chiropractic adjustments (i.e. joint manipulation).

Are herniated discs a result of scoliosis?

Although scoliosis, or abnormal curvature of the spine, may predispose one to disc herniation, a herniated disc signifies that the disc (or jelly-like cushion between each intervertebral spine) has moved out of place. When the disc moves out of alignment, say at the L4-L5 level, and presses upon a nerve root, pain occurs, often felt in the buttocks or back of the leg (and this would then be termed sciatica).

Will pro adjuster chiropractic help an 80 year old with degenerative back disease?

Probably Not.

The pro-adjuster is supposed to be a "computerized" form of spinal manipulation. Although some people claim that they have benefited from treatment with the pro-adjuster, there is no peer-reviewed research (yet) that suggests pro-adjuster is beneficial for any condition at all (if this ever changes I will modify this answer). Sadly, despite having no evidence-base whatsoever, the pro-adjuster is marketed as an effective form of care. Sometimes it is even falsy described as being "developed by NASA", which is completely false advertising. You are better off findiing a real chiropractor who uses manual spinal manipulation or spinal mobilization, as there is good peer-reviewed research to support this kind of therapy for the treatment of back pain.

Unfortunately, If you are looking for a treatment to "fix" degenerative joint disease, there are none. However, chiropractic care is well known for its ability to reduce pain for people with degenerated joints (arthritis). Once you have reached an advanced stage of joint degeneration...pain control is really the only option. This is why lifestyle choices are so important when we are young, to try to prevent joint degeneration (good diet, exercise, etc.).

How long after graduating from chiropractic school do you have to get licensed?
