Should I see a chiropractor or a pain management doctor?

A few weeks ago I was in a weird position lying in bed and something startled me causing me to jump, hurl myself forward, and leave my Left arm and shoulder behind! In other words, I dislocated it for a minute then it popped back into place. I cried out in pain. Ever since then, I cant sleep with my Left arm up under the pillow, and sleeping is pretty much a difficult task now. My boyfriend says there are many large "knots" in my neck so he rubs them out and that is the only way I can get relief. Hes not here now, its 6 am, and I cant sleep!

When I was younger I had a bike accident that gave me a concussion and whiplash. Should I see a chiropractor or do they really know what they are doing? Would a family doctor, pain management doctor, or nurse practitioner be better?

I would see a chiropractor (worked great for my partners whiplash) AND a pain management doctor. Chiropractor can relieve the preasure and pain by finding the direct source. Pain management would help because of what the Chirpractor cant treat.

Im glad it worked out well for you! they realy arent scary and do know what they are doing! have a good one! Report It

I would see a chiropractor, i have 2 herniated discs with chronic back pain.i go about every other week,it helps me allot and when I fall that is the first place I go.

Go to a chiropractor or a good massuer, Doctors wud be just a waste of time. They will just operate and make you a cripple for the whole life
