Why there is lower back post chiropractic manipulation?
Hello doctor,
I am currently experiencing severe lower back and left hip pain and spasms. I have a history of a slight disk herniation at L5-S1 with no nerve impingement. I believe this flare-up began two weeks ago when I attended my first chiropractic visit. The pain became so severe, I broke down and went to a different chiropractor for possible help. The pain was so severe that I got nausea, sweat, and almost passed out in the waiting area. The pain was better since yesterday. The new chiropractor thinks my right hip was tilted forward, causing the muscles on the left to get spasm and be in pain. Please help.

What is the treatment for calf injury?
Hello doctor,
I am a 17-year-old teenager who is 6'2" tall and weighs 170 lbs. Yesterday, my calf got trapped under an ATV for about 20 to 30 seconds. Today, I am able to walk on it, and there is minimal discomfort except when touched, but it remains considerably swollen. Despite the suggestion against it, I am attempting to avoid seeking medical attention as I do not want anyone to discover that the ATV had overturned. However, I acknowledge that I will see a doctor if the situation deteriorates or if you believe it could potentially have severe consequences for me. Currently I am taking ibuprofen for inflammation. Thank you for your assistance.

Treatment for shoulder injury from horse riding accident?
Hello doctor,
I am a 21-year-old female 5'2" in height and 70kg weight. I have injured my left shoulder three times in horse riding accidents over the years but never got it checked. I then recently carried a heavy bag with the arm hanging down for roughly 10 minutes, four times over a few hours. The next day I had severe general pain in the back of the shoulder or scapular but had full and no more pain in moving shoulder. General pain increased after use of the arm though. Pain gets worse at night. I also have a tingling sensation down the back of the tricep, from the armpit to elbow and one spot roughly above the radial nerve when using the arm. X-rays have been taken. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, but I have copies of the x-rays. They appear to show an AC separation with posterior displacement of clavicle. Can you tell me if I may be correct from the scans? And, is it possible that I had previously injured the AC joint, but the bag carrying tore the ligaments?
