Agreed, I dont go to them either.

Just to clarify... Not saying to go to a chiro instead of medical doctor. Just as an addition to.

I have gone about 10 times, worked wonders every time.

That is NOT true. Especially the germ theory but plenty are not against vaccinations.

Yes, it is kooky lady. Look it up. "Straight" chiros follow the teachings of their whackjob founder.

I went to an osteopath once, and he cracked me better than a chiro...and he said they weren't getting it done for me. He was old and died tho.' Plus an osteo can prescribe medication if you do need it. I used an osteo for family practitioner and my child for years. Prefer over an regular MD. They're also more open minded about other treatments than the arrogant former blood-letting allopaths these days.

Obviously, you haven't been to many.

Exactly.

And obviously you have no clue what you are talking about. suprise suprise!

Ok, I'll give credit where credit is due. Nice post. Osteopaths don't get enough credit.

One chiro I used to use, thinks well of acupuncture. She uses accupressure in her treatments too. Only her manipulations suck. She does that gentle chiro technique which is nice for some things but not enough for me.

It helps the adjustment and tight muscles can pull bone out of position too.

I get them even when I don't go to the chiro because it's so good for you and not just in a physical way. It de-stresses. Bob Hope had one daily I heard. He lived a long life.

I love osteopaths.

We're so used to a quick fix with a prescription or a pill. Some things take longer to handle naturally. However, chiro can and have taken a program too far and too long. Medical coders complain about that. I went for 6 months after an accident. That's long enough. One guy here, though, had me going for a year 2-3 a week. It was annoying and too interrupting of my time and was not necessary. I just finally stopped.

I get this thing, since my 30's, if I crawl under a table very low to get something and or bend too low, like a freak thing, I become jello and can't walk. Have to be carried to the car to go it's so painful. It's amazing what just gentle blocking does for it. Only need to go once or twice and I'm fine. But this guy suckered me into a year. So I know what you're saying.

I've never had a chiro pull that with me.

I get pinched nerves in my lower back about once a year. Every time, they have me back to 100% in no time at all. I love all the ones I've used over the years.
