Yes. If you are experiencing the pain for a while, it may be useful to see a chiropractor. During the first visit, they will complete a comprehensive evaluation. They will ask you about the symptoms, medical history, and a possible cause of the pain. A chiropractic specialist may also check your spine, neck, and hips because our bodies are like integrated machines. Once the evaluation is completed, you will receive a special treatment plan for managing the pain. It may include soft tissue massage, ultrasound treatment, and other options.
