Does Chiropractic Treatment Work?

How many people have you heard say they saw one for a short amount of time and it worked? Now how many have you heard say "I've been going to mine for (insert years) and they are great!"

My wife had been going to her chiropractor for years and for years it did nothing but offer short term relief for her shoulder. I always told her to go to a physical therapists. She finally went to a PT last month and her shoulder is actually feeling better and stronger.

She hates it that I'm always right

It helps the horse

He's the only one in the family that gets done, though.

Neurologist and PT for treatment is what I'd do before seeing a Chiro.

$2,800 and nearly a year of treatment and my neck pains are as bad as ever. There's a reason most insurances don't cover them. I let several family members convince me it would work.

Mother-in-law works for one so I get in free. I go when my sciatic goes nuts and one treatment make it manageable for me. No idea on anything else though.

Chiropractic was helpful in treating my whiplash. The main thing I learned was how to crack my own neck when it locks up. I sought chiropractic treatment for a couple of months after injuring my neck in a fall and thereafter no longer required treatment. I also went to a neurologist and my MRI revealed 2 damaged vertebrae in my upper neck that often get misaligned causing pain and numbness. But as long as I keep my neck cracked/realigned I'm OK. My neurologist told me that I would know when it was time to have an operation because the pain would become unbearable. It's not at this point and I have been living with it for about 20 years.
