You, nonbelievers, just don't know. Just like a regular Dr. sometimes you have to shop until you find the right one.
You went to an MD first. You were diagnosed properly and treated. Chiropractors cannot do this. If you go to a chiropractor to alleviate undiagnosed pain, he/she may cause more damage to your body. First, by not recognizing you need to seek medical attention. Second, by giving you a false belief that you are in good hands. You may avoid medical treatment for days or weeks. This time lapse may cause a larger problem than your initial pain. Last, the chiropractor may actually cause more damage. For example: A back adjustment is probably not a good idea if you have an injured spine. JMO: SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION FIRST
