Anyone go to a Chiropractor?

Unfortunately, Chiros don't fix the problem either. The therapy is only temporary and then you have to go back to have them and be readjusted. And I definitely did not advocate taking meds to dope yourself up to mask the pain.

I went to the Chiro. once on the insistence of my wife because they did wonders for her. He looked at my back and there is a definite sideways curve to it. Of course he immediately came up with a course of treatment that involved mutliple visits and it did feel good afterward. I only went back a couple of times. However, whatever he did would not straighten out my spine once and for all.

I wonder if the people that had positive results with the Chiro. might not have gotten better on their own as their bodies healed. Maybe the Chiro helped the pain go away faster or at least relieved the pain as the injury was healing itself.

As with any profession it appears there are good and there are bad. I've received blessed relief from some and wretched pain from others.

I went to one after my car accident this summer (my son's car was rear-ended) for about 4 weeks (3x per week) for electro massage and spinal adjustment. It made a huge difference. I also appreciated that the doctor's goal was eliminating my back pain, not milking insurance. On my last visit, she said my spine didn't need any further adjustment and based on how I told her my back felt, she released me from her care.

There are good doctors and bad doctors, same as with Chiropractors. I've been to a bunch of them and finally found a good one. I haven't had to go for over a year, but he helped me with my migraines and other pains. Stay away from the ones that just adjust your neck and crack your back. My guy gives a real physical therapy session.
