Do you use a chiropractor and your thoughts on effectiveness?

[Bryan S. Bennett]

I had a nasty fall on wet vct three weeks ago basically landed flat on back. Neck and back pain ever since. Decided to try chiropractor for a fix, never did it before.

After my second bone cracking appt today, I feel great, actually best I felt in years.

How has chiropractic worked for you and how many appts before you felt you were leveling off? Anyone stay on a regular year round schedule with their chiro? Any bad experiences to share?

Another positive, just booked their sofa and loveseat while on the table. (I hate to sell while under pressure like this but I'll take it, haha!)

Think they are quacks but everyone that ever goes has the same experience as you.

Go figure

In sure thee are situations in which spinal manipulation is effective.

I've just never heard of any.

I see mine twice a month when my lower back starts hurting, he adjust me and I feel great for about two weeks then back I go.

I have been going to one since I hurt my back in 1979. Woke up one morning with my foot swollen so bad I couldn't walk, turned out I had a pinched nerve in my back. Felt like a new man after first visit. Still get a tune up a couple times a year.

My entire fAmily makes weekly visits. Also you should see a massage therapist.

The best chiropractor joke is:

What's the difference between a doctor and a chiropractor?

A doctor never calls himself a chiropractor!




I'm a jerk.

Difference between an RN and a Dr? :golf clubs

It helps when you're in pain and makes a big difference.

However, if it is a re-occurring issue, it will not solve the problem. For that you need to look at the core issue and find a way to correct, remedy or at least learn how not to aggravate it.

The best chiropractors will give you exercises, stretches and teach you how to strengthen the weak/problem area. Otherwise it will only be a temporary solution and you'll keep coming back. Which will be good for them and a temporary relief for you.

Chiropractic helps me tremendously. Have the good ol' barter system with mine. Clean his carpets on occasion and my wife and I go all we want. How many chiropractors does it take to change a light bulb? Just one................but it takes 40 visits.

My Dad told me "If it hurts in the back........slow down your front"

Have him remove the impurities from your body using the foot bath.

I hear that works too!

I doubt Bawb needs an introduction to drugs.

Emmitt Smith, NFL all time rushing leader, had his chiropractor on the sidelines every game throughout his career. Kept his skeleton in alignment with adjustments several times per game. Emmitt swears that was the reason he had such a long career in the NFL.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Emmitt who?



Tell him to quit swearing too Ray!

Have to be a very good looking young woman to have anyone put their hands on me.

Any man that touches me I'd have to kill him.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Lighten up there Frances!

 

[hogjowl]

Don't pay any attention to him, Taco.

I seriously doubt he can kill anyone from his couch.

I guess that's better than that pair of his wife's smelly tennis shoes he sent me a few years back.

Or, the empty bottle of carpet spotter that Terje sent me once.
