[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 635134, member: 3419"] I always use ice when my neck is sore. If you have inflammation, Janet, heat will often make it worse. I don't know which part of your neck hurts, or if you have arthritis, so it's hard to say what you should do. The chiro should have said something. Yes, it can be normal to have a sore neck after an adjustment. But it is more common to feel relief. When you consider how out of whack that spot is, and that it's "put back" quickly, it's going to be sore. He should have given you neck exercises to do once the pain calms down. They're simple: 20-30 seconds tilted to the left; then center; then right. Then turn your head to the left for 20-30 seconds, then center, then right. Don't turn your shoulders. It's easier said than done! Also, roll up a small towel and put it behind your neck when you sleep. (Operative phrase is "small.") You want to maintain the curve in your neck. This, coming from a chiro's wife who spends so much time at the computer and drawing board that she has lost the curve in her neck ... :( [/QUOTE]
