if chiropractor's service makes the pain keener, how do you interpret it? Is there a curve of pain experience before it gets better?

She has been seeing a chiropractor for many weeks now, and it only hurts more when she sees the chiropractor.

Thanks
Dan

Pregnancy can do some pretty hardcore damage to spinal health if you're not being treated through your pregnancy. Lots of moving and shifting, not to mention hormonal changes which make joints a little looser. Honestly, I don't understand how women survive pregnancy without a chiro. I used to go to mine twice a week, begging him to adjust me again because it helped so much. lol

They did go to the doctor, and the doctor feels it is nerves, and is recommending ibuprofens, and if the pains do not go away, they want her on prescription painkillers.
