It’s not an “either OR” both are important, admittedly Chiropractic is a smaller part of our healthcare but should be respected. Fatalities by both professions have an enormous gap (26 to 250,000 (google), I would choose the conservative option of chiropractic with some diagnosis . The best part of chiropractic are the millions of folks that have been helped EVEN when their personal bias interfered with this choice.

My rule of thumb concerning all vendors is that if they insist on putting you on a subscription plan, they're a crook. This applies to doctors, HVAC techs, computer software vendors, car salesmen, and anyone else who tries to sell you over-priced insurance disguised as a "maintenance plan". The one exception is virus software, which is a different scam, called a "protection racket" -- if you don't pay them, they'll give your computer a virus. So you have no choice but to pay them. But be very careful. We have a good friend who lost her entire life savings when she signed up for Norton and then responded to an email claiming to be from Norton, which said she'd overpaid, so please call the nice lady who will get take your bank information and "get you your refund". Poof -- money gone. Strange how a scammer just happened to know the exact moment when she signed up with the largest virus scanning company in the world. Pure coincidence, no doubt.
But I digress.. I tried a Chiropractor years ago from my sore back, which, as a software developer, resulted from my sitting in an office chair all day. He popped my back for $100, and it felt a little better. Then he insisted that I start coming back every week for an "adjustment", and I realized it was a scam. After that, I discovered that if I walked everyday at lunch my back didn't hurt, anyway. Much cheaper insurance. |

Chiropractors all work differently. I only see solo practice, most of them will take their time with you. Not a rack & crack & out the door multiple Dr practices. Between my massage therapy & Chiropractic they keep me going.
I drove over a 1,000 miles a week for work for 25 yrs. & was in a motorcycle wreck back in the late 90's. So, I know they are a help. I still use both! The Dr. I saw after my accident sent me to both. You, nonbelievers, just don't know. Just like a regular Dr. sometimes you have to shop until you find the right one. |

As I understand it, a chiropractor will charge you thousands of dollars to stretch your back and increase the spacing between the vertebrae to relieve sciatica pain. But, as soon as you start walking around, your back will revert back to it's original position and the sciatica pain will return. Is that not correct?

I’m actually going to pass. No point in wasting my time on a discussion of quacks and snake oil salesmen. Besides I’ll just get into arguments with true believers, this time I’ll let them enjoy their mythology
