I recently have been going to see a chiroprator. A lot of people think that they do more harm than good. Does anyone else go to one?

I have actually been feeling somewhat better since he worked on me a bit, and I am going back tomorrow, which I am actually looking forward to.

Has anyone had any experiances or advice either way?


Jenny's Weird Friend can be your weird friend, too!

I havnt had experience no... but I never would go. People that I know go to them say they do help... however I've noticed if they start going then stop going they start having major problems. I feel there is something kinda messed up when my best friend comes up to me and tells me she needs to go to her chiro to have him "put her back back into place" it just doesnt sound right... to me messing with bones like that cant be exactly too healthy... I would think it would double your chances of developing certain bone problems like arthritis... but I'm no doctor. I just dont think its too healthy to have to rely on someone to put your bones into place you know. My family has never believed in them, but my boyfriends does... so who knows. But personally, you'd never see me going to one.

i use to go to a chiropractor. i had this little asian doctor chick who would do all sorts of weird crap to me. i dunno how much it helped....but it felt damn good!

I always find it odd when people say things such as, "I don't believe in chiropractic" or "Chiropractic is great, I really believe in it); and other things to that effect. Chiropractic is not the Easter Bunny; it's not an urban legend. Anything that takes seven to eight years of schooling and gives one the title of doctor must have something to it, don't you think?

A lot of people just don't understand what it is, and the ideas they have about it are many times completely wrong. Of course, being that there less highly skilled chiropractors then there are unskilled ones doesn't help things.

Tomorrow I will have my 5th visit to a chiropractor. wish I had done it sooner. I am feeling so much better and my mobility is greater. My insurance will only pay for 15 visits a year. I had such back pain all the time and I certainly wasnt going to have back surgery. It is only a 50-50 chance of healing anyway. so I am glad I finally chose to go to one. big help. i do wish however that he did acupunture also. No one around here does it.

i believe it works for people who's bodies are out of allignment and it can provide relief. I have never gone because I have never really gone through anything that needed it. I was in a car accident and massage was my savior!!

Ignore those people, chiropractors don't give instant results, but they tackle the source and help you heal, not just cover up the symptoms. I've been seeing one for four years and it's really helped me.

Give it a try!

I go to one regularly coz i have a bit of a messed up back and i tend to put things outta place and move things and i do love it...i think he helps, and if he doesnt,. i like being cracked




Everything I say is about YOU!!!

There are excellent chiropractors out there but I've also seen some that I didn't think much of.

I have a lot of spine trouble and I have a friend with Spina Bifida who was directed to see a Chinese lady who is a qualified General Practicioner but who only uses traditional Chinese techniques.

I have found her to be a life saver. But what ever works for you is the right thing to do.

Good luck

if its making you better thats whats importent...........some people think they know everything about medical stuff

okay well i went to an osteopath for a while after i was sick with a virus for many months. and they are ALOT more gentle than a chiropractor. its amazing what they did so i reckon try out an osteopath for a while!

Chiropractors typically don't do you any good and remember no matter what they say the only thing they can cure is misaligned bones or tense muscles, for many people this can act as a placebo so they feel like their problem has been cured because their muscles feel more free and they can move easier then they start to feel a bit more sluggish as the effects of it wear off and they realise they still have a problem and have to go back to the chiropractor again. Some of them are legitimate but many are no better than the average massage therapist...
