I looked for you at the little fair/fundraiser a couple weekends ago. Didn't see anyone working there who fit your description. where were you?
I was walking all over the event, spent the majority of the morning in the village then the afternoon watching the band or at the exit survey table.
there was another event at a museum similar to ours that weekend. ours wasn't a fundraiser, it was a free admission day.

No we didn't have that. You must have been at AV.

My wife goes weekly.
I think it is a complete ripoff, but she is convinced it helps.

Yes, that's where we were.
My boy's garage band won the competition.
Had you seen them play, you would certainly remember them.

Ahhhh. I work at the other village near the airport.

I used to go, but it was because I liked having my back popped.

There is a significant lack of evidence in the literature to fulfill Hill’s criteria of causation as regards chiropractic subluxation. No supportive evidence is found for the chiropractic subluxation being associated with any disease process or of creating suboptimal health conditions requiring intervention. Regardless of popular appeal this leaves the subluxation construct in the realm of unsupported speculation. This lack of supportive evidence suggests the subluxation construct has no valid clinical applicability. [
Excerpt from paper written by chiropractors and phd after a significant literature search.

No Major university has a Chiro program

That's great, but I used to have frequent back problems, and now I don't (wife, too). The only thing that's changed is that we get adjusted. Seems pretty clear to me.

Dated a chiro once. She gave me free adjustments. I wouldn't have paid actual money for it as I thought it was akin to somebody cracking your knuckles.
I never felt a real difference.

I'm glad you know more about my body than I do.

Go about every 2-3 weeks. Been going since early 90's. Like any industry, there are good ones and bad ones. Find a good one.

i'm glad someone posted this. chiropractics is fake as frick. if a joint were to become actually subluxated, it would result in literally crippling pain, paralysis, or death (if in the back or neck). go to physical therapy -it's actually based on science.

Sounds like a good deal.

science is science, regardless of how you feel about your body. if you said that deep-throating a cucumber made your back pain go away, that would be just as valid as saying that chiropractics made your back pain go away.

In a Randomized controlled trial, 183 patients with neck pain were randomly allocated to manual therapy (spinal mobilization), physiotherapy (mainly exercise) or general practitioner care (counseling, education and drugs) in a 52-week study. The clinical outcomes measures showed that manual therapy resulted in faster recovery than physiotherapy and general practitioner care. Moreover, total costs of the manual therapy-treated patients were about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy or general practitioner care.
-- Korthals-de Bos et al (2003), British Medical Journal
In a study funded by NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine to test the effectiveness of different approaches for treating mechanical neck pain, 272 participants were divided into three groups that received either spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) from a doctor of chiropractic (DC), pain medication (over-the-counter pain relievers, narcotics and muscle relaxants) or exercise recommendations. After 12 weeks, about 57 percent of those who met with DCs and 48 percent who exercised reported at least a 75 percent reduction in pain, compared to 33 percent of the people in the medication group. After one year, approximately 53 percent of the drug-free groups continued to report at least a 75 percent reduction in pain; compared to just 38 percent pain reduction among those who took medication.

I saw dr. Corbin in Baton Rouge a couple of occasions. He has worked with olympic track and field athletes. Besides the adjustments he also prescribes exercises which help whether its for mobility or strength and stability.
