Re: What's everyones opinion on Chiropractors?



I say it depends. I went to one for the first time that many recommended in my town for my neck and shoulder pain. According to him, after the x-ray, he was surprised I could even walk without severe pain. He said I had bone on bone in my neck and in my lower back. I dont know how true that is. I went for two months three times a week. They would do the adjustments, use the bounce table, crack lower and upper back. Twist and crack neck. Poke me with the small pogo stick, adjust hips. The whole nine yards. My neck never got better. Decided to stop that cause I hate all the cracking and stuff. I then went to a PT that noted my symptoms and worked me with stretches and various strengthing exercises to hit those small unnoticed areas. Pain then went away after awhile. So in my case, the PT did much more good than the chiro.
