Ask The Chiropractor: Latest Answers

Hi Kris, I hope you’re well. I wanted to inquire if the chiropractor may be able to assist with treating Vestibular Neuritis. After doing some research, I suspect that misalignment from my neck to my head could be contributing to the issue. I’ve experienced this condition twice in the past four months, and I’m seeking a long-term solution. I would appreciate any insights you can offer. Kind regards, Soniya

Hi Soniya,

I don’t think that I would be able to affect the vestibular nerve using any of the chiropractic techniques I use.

You may find that a chiro who uses sacro-occipital (sot) technique or an osteopath who uses craniosacral therapy might be able to help you.

There used to be a sot chiropractor at Blackheath (Ann McDonnell) but I believe she retired. The chiros there may still use sot. The number to ring is 020 8293 3021.

Hi there. I’ve suffered pain down my left side for the last two years it started as a whiplash in my neck. It progressed all the way down to my foot currently suffering with Morton‘s neuroma which is going to get treated in January, but I’ve got constant pain up and down my left hand side

Hello,

What’s your question about this?

Should the thoracic retrainer be used forever? I have osteoporosis and it was recommended to me by chiropractor. It does make my chest sore at times.

---

Hello,

Since I don’t know why you were recommended a thoracic brace I can’t really give you a definitive answer but I would say that using a brace all of the time will probably slowly weaken your postural muscles in the area which wouldn’t be a good thing.

Hi my question is that i’ve had an issue with my back for a while now, where my left side near the shoulder blade area feels like it needs to click and can be very uncomfortable and my back hurts now and then when jogging. With my chest it feels like i’m shrinking into my chest if that makes sense and it is very tight most of the time what could these be ?

---

Hello,

Based on your description, it looks to me like you have a rib that’s not moving correctly and probably a tight pectoral muscle as well.

Hi Kris, Are you able to treat spinal stenosis in my lower spine, please? Elaine

---

Hello Elaine,

Spinal stenosis can often, but not always be resistant to chiro treatment.

We’d have to try a limited number of sessions (5-6) and see if any progress is being made. If yes, continue, if not, stop.
