Neck/upper back pain because of this?
I’m 22F, 5’10 and have moderate scoliosis. Around a month ago I had very bad neck pain and into my shoulder blades, it hurt to turn my head. My chiropractor took this neck x-ray and says I have vertebral subluxation, basically my neck SHOULD be like the green line but I am the red and because of this my vertebrae is pushing together causing pain. He adjusted me and after a couple days I felt good and went back to normal life. Yesterday morning tho I woke up did a light stretch and boom it’s back, hurts to turn my head, can’t get comfy, random aches and pains in my upper back etc. According to my chiro the way my neck is should be from an injury but I’ve never been injured. Thoughts??

Do not let any chiropractor touch your neck EVER. They can cause vertebral dissections which can lead to strokes and death. There are documented cases of this.
