Should you see a chiropractor

Only if she is hot and gives "happy endings."

You should never trust one that has a booth set up, at an event somewhere.
I had one scan my neck with this device he had hooked up to a laptop that gave an ultrasound reading of my neck. He pressed on of my bones and I had a tweaked, kinked neck for the next 3 years after that.

I saw a Chiropractor in his office for a lower back problem years later, he was able to straighten that out. I'll never let anyone mechanically try to adjust my neck.
My wife also had lower back issues they were able to alleviate the pain. They are glorified Masseuse.

A good Chiropractor followed up by a good Deep Tissue Asian Massage. You'll feel as good as new.

Add in a good Pilates system and then, you can lower your chiropractic visits down to once every 6 months.

I go a couple times a month and pay cash even though my insurance covers it. All I know is that my back has been much better and I have greatly reduced major "episodes". My Chiropractor is a former Olympic athlete and is also a sports therapist. He has helped me understand my body mechanics better and know how to recognize issues and move my body to avoid major back pain.

I have friends who have lower back issues and rely exclusively on steroid injections, narcotics and even surgery - they are all miserable while I am surfing and running every week.

We should sent all the Chiropractors to Gaza.

I had a C4/C5 herniation. 2 surgeons told me I needed surgery. I saw a chiropractor for 3 months (weekly). Avoided surgery for the last 13 years. Recently reinjured the same area from working out (stupidly over exurted with too much weight). Back to the chiropractor now.

I want to go see this guy...

:
To generalize that chiropractic is always a scam is stupid.

But being cautious and finding a modality and a practitioner with a good reputation is prudent. Thre are modalities that intentionally avoid or minimize the structural (crunching) type of adjustments.

That is great to hear. Can you put a price on the quality of life you had over the last 13 years? Imagine if you had the surgery and you still had pain? What next? Lifetime of pain pills?

Some people have major herniation of the discs but feel little to no pain. While others have some slight inflammation and are in agony. I've been told that as we get older, our bodies get used to the inflammatory proteins that irritate the nerves and the back pain can get better.

I think the biggest help for my back is forcing myself to get up from my desk every hour and walk around the block at my office. I've also learned to carefully get out of a chair and bed.

Sitting is murder on the back.

Chiropractors should not be allowed to treat infants
