pain after nucca treatments

[seabiscuit8]

I saw a nucca chiro on jan 7th (complaints of a left leg tingling of two toes and felt not right at ball joint and had had many chiro work on it over a year to no avail) by the 2nd adjust I was complaining of a pressure or a concussion feeling at the site of atlas and occipital bone area. Then my fingersof both hands went tingly(last 3 on each)  and upper arm w eakness,as well as the stiff neck and shoulder muscle pain. It got so bad I had palsey, tongue numb, could not sleep as the pressure from my head on anything was intence,neck felt as tho I had fractured it, puffy,.I went for an MRI it said only this minor degenerative endplate signal changes are present ,mild to moderate left fora
minal narrowing at c5 c6 as well as bilateral foraminal narrowing at c6c7 worse on right due to unconvertabral joint hypertrophy.no stenosis, bulging or protrusion.  I had 12 adjustments by then and was/am in anxiety over any more  the chiro was exasperated and said I may take 6 months of adjusting and did not know why I was not holding.
I felt the most scared at the site of my cranio skull that was as if I had been hit hard with a bat, and a cyst was there that the MRI did not pick up, found out now that it does not see muscles and tendons? I have tried 6 accupuncture treatments, craniosacral, tui na massage, herbs ect, I feel that the tendons are stretched out, and the constant headache in the occipital area is from the atlas bone crushed up to it. I am now having nerve issues all over the lower half of me as well as a sick pain in the abdominal area and slight nausia. I am out of $$ for more alternative treatments and it appears after 2 months that the pain and symptoms are not going to get any better. I am asking you as a professional who so readily advocates nucca, could it go wrong, or have you had patients with severe symptoms that did not get  better in the 4 to 6 week period and the average 3 to 6 treatments? I am scared this is permanent.

When delivered properly, I have never seen or heard of this happening after the NUCCA procedure. Healing can be a slow process. It's not uncommon to take more than 4-6 weeks to respond to care. Physiologic changes and objectively measured improvements should be demonstrable, however, proving that the care is effective during that time frame.

I'm curious who your doctor was, so if you can email me privately, I'll look into it: ***@**** -- Can you also tell me exactly how many adjustments you received over precisely what time frame?
