New pillow? Better pillow?
WebMD says to get yer affairs in order.
Chiropractors are hacks
Based on what evidence?
Just because something is attacked by the AMA doesn't mean it's bad. MD's often write a prescription which treats the symptom and not the cause. For every one negative article you find about chiropractic you could probably find dozens if not hundreds of negative articles about MD's; consider the opioid epidemic alone.
Chiropractors spend just as much time in school (covering the exact same curriculum) and clinical rotations as MD's. While they don't have residency requirements they focus on musculoskeletal the entire time they are in school.
I'll go you one further... Google "adjustments by Physical Therapists" and you will see almost the exact same techniques used by Chiropractors.
Personal experience. Every chiropractor I've ever been to gave me the feeling they saw me as recurring revenue.
- Hydrate
- Stretch
- Core exercises
Last time I’m commenting on this thread. Your suggestions are good and correct. But they are things to do AFTER a diagnostic work up to determine the likely cause while ruling out other potential causes of more serious significance. I’ve had to give very sad and terminal results to patients who could have had much different prognosis if they simply would have addressed a symptom much earlier.Lot of good suggestions here. For me it's a combination of things: stretching, exercise, hydration, firm mattress. I think the inversion table is a great tool, as is a foam roll, or piece of 4" or larger PVC pipe.
I believe chiropractor and massage therapy go together, as knotting muscles can pull disks out of alignment. The challenge is the same as any other service, finding people who are good at their job.
So, WebMD is right?I’ve had to give very sad and terminal results to patients who could have had much different prognosis if they simply would have addressed a symptom much earlier.

No, mayoclinic.org is right.
My grandfather had severe back pain and thought it was just muscle spasms. Ended up being a tumor that killed him.Last time I’m commenting on this thread. Your suggestions are good and correct.
