Hello! I'm hoping this will help ease my mind tonight!
I've been seeing a chiropractor for over a year now. I have seen two, I have one where I live currently and one at home where my parents live (where I used to be). They've helped me with my headaches and neck stiffness some and I like going to them.
I was recently home for the holidays so I went to see my old chiropractor who gave me a very thorough adjustment because my muscles were super tense and I was out of alignment. For the next couple days, the back of my neck, shoulders, and head felt a little pressurey and weird. I tried to brush it off but I couldn't. I sat awake last night and stupidly (and I know everyone is probably going to tell me how silly this was) googled it thinking it would be a totally normal thing with chiropractic adjustments. Of course not-it had to be the articles about otherwise healthy, young women like me that had strokes after neck adjustments. I'm not sure how much merit to give this, especially because I trust me chiropractor, believe in his ability, and know he is experienced.
I've been terrified ever since, and it's just tensing up my neck and shoulders even more which I'm sure isn't helping! Has this sort of fear every happened to anyone else? I don't want to be afraid to go to the chiropractor because it helps me immensely, but I also don't want to have these nights of panic because of it.
Thanks for reading :)
