Our user asked: "i've been seeing a chiropractor, and getting deep muscle massages for one month, and i feel worse. My question, should I continue going to him, to "snap" things back into place. I'm in pain all the time, and the numbness in my arm is getting worse...."
 
Ask a PT Response: "Has a MRI confirmed that you having a bulging cervical disc? If it has and the plan of care from your chiropractor has only included massage and adjustments, I don't think that you are optimizing your treatment options especially since there has been no improvement and you are feeling worse. Physical therapy may be your next option as the therapist will work on helping you to minimize or reduce your disc bulge if possible, strengthening your muscles, increasing your range of motion, improving your posture, decreasing your tissue irritability and helping you with managing your symptoms on your own. Good luck with your recovery and thanks for using CyberPT."
