If you're currently seeing a chiropractor in Las Vegas, and you're wondering about how long it should take before begin to experience positive results (where the level of pain is beginning to subside) I can tell you, as a Las Vegas chiropractor (unless you've been involved in a serious accident) 80% - 90% of patients will begin to see positive results within two weeks after seeing a chiropractor.

If you're not receiving results within two weeks, it might be time for you to ask your chiropractor what his expectations for you are. Any reputable chiropractor will be able to give you a time-line or plan for what to expect during the course of the treatments, and you want to make sure that your chiropractor is helping you get better as soon as possible.

As a chiropractor, I can tell you that in a two week window (from beginning through the second week) you should definitely begin to notice improvements. And if the chiropractor that you are seeing is not able to give you a reasonable explanation, it might be time for you to consider a second opinion from another chiropractor in Las Vegas.

People suffering from neck pain in Las Vegas commonly ask, "how do I stretch my neck?". Most people in Las Vegas have neck pain, and that neck pain is usually in the back of the neck, and so that's the area that they typically stretch. However, there are muscles all around our neck - on the front, on the side, and on the back - and it is very important to stretch all the muscles in the neck. The best way to do that is to sit in a chair where you can grab the edge of the chair. Grab the edge of the chair and just lean to the opposite side. The hand that is hold the chair is just holding your shoulder down. Lean to the opposite side and tilt your head to that side. This part of the stretch is going to stretch the middle muscles (the side muscles of the neck). While you're in this position, look down and you'll start feeling it in the back of your neck - which is probably where your pain is. Hold that for 20 seconds, and then look up (still leaning to the side and tilting your head to the side). That's going to stretch the front muscles in your neck.

Hold each of those positions for about 20 seconds. 20 seconds on the side, 20 seconds looking down, and 20 seconds looking up. Do that on both sides. This will help you stretch your neck muscles very well and get rid of the neck pain Las Vegas residents usually have.

Who is spinal decompression right for in Las Vegas? If you're experiencing symptoms of neck pain with radiating pain down into the arms or hands, numbness and tingling, Las Vegas spinal decompression could help. If you're having those types of symptoms in your lower back, or you are experiencing pain into the butt area, or legs, spinal decompression might be the most effective method to treat your symptoms. These symptoms relate to a condition that has to do with the herniation or possibly bulging discs. I've had patients ask me, "are there any alternatives to surgery, for having this problem resolved?". The answer to that is yes, there are.

SpineMed is a non-surgical spinal decompression, which takes the herniated or bulging disc and retracts that material, taking it off the nerve and back into the disc. If you're interested in a resolution for your problem with disc herniations or disc bulges that are causing this type or pain, numbness, and tingling - I would recommend that you find a chiropractor in Las Vegas that has a SpineMed table, as it is the most advanced spinal decompression technology that's out there today.
