Can a Chiropractor Hurt You More?

Question by Martha: Can a chiropractor hurt you more?
I went for an entire therapy session for several weeks or 3 months and I don’t feel any better my adjustments were on lower back and the numbness on my left leg did not go away, even worse I have severe pain on my right leg which I’ve never had before, it hurts badly when I sit down on my right buttocks, I don’t know what to do Im scared and the pain is bad. Why does my right buttock hurt when before I never had that problem?

You have tight muscles in your back to cause the pains there and tight muscles in your lower back can press into the nerves leaving the spine that go to the legs to send pains into them. A chiropractor works on the bones so in doing adjustments to them he can cause new pressures on the nerves that weren’t there before. You can get rid of the pains yourself by releasing your back muscles to free up the tight ones in your back which will also release the pressure off the nerves and here’s how to do that release:
Back:
(do while sitting on a chair)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front, and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm as straight as possible. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, then release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
To be sure to get all your back muscles here’s the ones for your lumbar area as well:
Lumbar muscles:
(done best in shorts) Place both hands around your body so they rest on the muscles next to your spine just below your waist line. Press firmly into the muscles and hold that pressure on them. Now relax your body by taking a deep breath and exhaling. After 30 seconds slowly lower yourself down into your lap, then release the pressure on the muscles but remain lowered in your lap for another 30 seconds. Sit up, place your hand back on the muscles but just below where you just were and repeat the steps. When done with that place them just below where they were again and keep doing that until you reach the end of your tailbone and then the pain will be gone.
