Your body is warning you so you better listen. I would definitely tell them to stop that particular treatment. Better safe than sorry. That doesn't sound good, what happened to you. Don't strain it. Give it time to heal. You know those heating pads that have a little sponge in them and you can wet that and have a moist heat treatment? That would be ideal but don't use it without wetting that pad because that would dry your bones out.

And I've heard this advice from far too many doctors to disregard it: Do not visit the chiropractor.

Def tell them it hurt you. Doctors need a patient's feedback to do proper treatment.

I had a chiropractor who said he was licensed in physical therapy he severely hurt my already busted up knee.
I will never go to another one, that is my opinion ,I'm not telling you not to ,but if a treatment is causing you immense pain and they won't listen to you it's time to go to a different doctor, I think.

Hi Lady ,Im a bit of a DR and you need to question so called Doctors what they are doing regarding your spine as it hasnt anything to do with night grinding ,you can get gumshields that will stop that

Of course the chiropractor is going to encourage you to continue treatments. $$$$$ I highly recommend seeing an oral surgeon for your jaw....you should be wearing a jaw protector at night. NEVER continue to see a chiropractor if the treatment causes sharp pain. They don't routinely x ray. If they were real professionals they would x-ray every 2-3 months to see if they have changed your alignments. ESPECIALLY don't allow them to hurt your spine.

I would let them know it hurt after the last adjustment so they can correct it and/or not use that tool again. They might push to keep doing your back too but should be respectful of your wishes.

No, write down exactly what happened and tell them and your next visit. If you feel like the dr isn't listening or taking you seriously tell them you don't feel comfortable with continuing the treatment until this issue that caused the pain is resolved or until your feelings are at minimum validated.

I had been through it.... They also instructed me some useful exercises to do at home...... it was painful for a good while but later felt worth it... I need to continue to do the exercises tho...

One more advice... see an orthopedist too....

Go to an orthopedist, ask for prescription for physical therapy, get the therapy, then find a good trainer. You'll never see a chiropractor again.

You have to tell them,pain tells us something isn't right with our bodies,I hope you have a good Doctor.

Tell them it hurt. There are other ways they can adjust you without using it

See a real doctor, an MD or an OD.
