  Go to chiro

  If OP does do that, please, please l, please get informed on what the history is around chiropractic adjustment, and then determine which practitioner (not doctor since they aren’t medically licensed) fits your needs and acceptable methodology.

  Chiropractic practice originated around spiritualism, and to some it’s a con man’s version of osteopathic treatment.

  Chiropractic adjustment reportedly works for some people, but there are many practitioners out there that may do more harm than good.

    While I do agree to an extent. This isn’t true across the board. My chiro is also a license doctor for example. Definitely do some homework. But Chiro, generally, works great for back\spine issues. I would be a complete mess with out my chiropractor.

      But they’re a doctor. They get the title Dr from being a doctor and not a chiro. Chiros are allowed to call themselves doctors in many places for some damn reason.

        No, he is an MD\Physician and a Chiro (in my case)

      citation needed, because as far as I know, no efficacy from ‘chrio’ has ever been demonstrated, this is not surprising since its not science based.

        Well, I know people like to say this, but I’ve been going to Chiro for over 12 years and I would say the “not based in science” thing feels false largely. I’ve had slipped discs, nerve compression, and a misaligned vertebra that I get treated for. The adjustments bring me great results time and time again.

        Even the Mayo clinic agrees that chiro has benefits. www.mayoclinic.org/…/pac-20393513

        Don’t just believe whatever you hear about health stuff. Too much misinformation out there.

  Neither options will solve the problem though

    Solve is kind of a strange word to use, because it certainly CAN solve it. For instance, relieving compressed nerves for sciatica for example, something I have treated on and off in my life, chiro has helped me with this more than ANYTHING else I’ve tried.
