Chiropractors....
Went for the first time ever yesterday. Lower back and sciatic pain virtually gone.
Wish I had gone sooner! What are your thoughts on back crackers? |

Love 'em. I go whenever I need to. Can't live without one. Plus I love the massage before hand. Plus one suspected my food allergies, got me tested and found them. Symptoms gone.

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. |

Useful, but the minute they say I'm going to need adjustments for the next 2 years I'm out. Too many are quacks.

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. |

Went to go meet with one last year for my neck issues, and he took some x-rays and wanted to put me on some aggressive 3 visit a week plan for 3 months that was going to cost me $1500 with no guarantees it wasn't going to fix the problem. Ummm...no sale.

Zero science behind them having any use other than temporary pain relief for back issues. Basically like a massage will give you.
It amazes me that it is an accepted profession given that they are only marginally more useful than witch doctors. |

So you think masking pain with drugs is better?

Also, what do you think should be the first method of treatment or portal for someone suffering from back pain? After all, it's the most common health complaint that any person will suffer from in their lifetime. You believe they should go to their PCP, who know's very little about biomechanics of the spine and/or soft tissue treatment, and get the standard "pain pill and muscle relaxer" prescription? |
