The best part of chiropractic are the millions of folks that have been helped EVEN when their personal bias interfered with this choice.
After my rear end auto accident in 94, I've been seeing a chiropractor both on the West Coast and after relocating to the Villages for adjustments on an as needed basis. In all cases my chiropractor has also been a licensed MD which is not the case with many chiropractors. Both of the offices I've gone to have been very informative on stretching routines I can do on my own to avoid unnecessary office visits. They have shown a genuine interest in helping me improve my quality of life.
