I had a bulging disc and went to the chiropractor. Took about 6 months but it helped. Once they schedule you to once a month visits then it's time to quit. I then got an inversion table and never looked back. PT works as well. See which one is covered by insurance because both take awhile to work.

I've never known anyone who went to a chiro and said it helped. On the other hand, I have several close friends who said chiros only made their conditions worse. No chiros for me.

Works for me. I have super tight muscles but I am super flexible which causes a lot of problems in my back and neck. I'm trying at Pilates right now as well.

You could try once or twice. I'm not sure what physical therapy would be like for a neck...Are you under a lot of stress?

went to one for lower back pain and he said my pelvis was out of alignment by 1/2 inch or so. After 3 months of adjustments he could not get it right so I have to wear a heel lift in my shoes. Been doing it about three weeks now. Pain is not 100% gone but getting there.

does it work? ask me in six months.

They're pretty good if you need to rack up some special damages in three months but don't want to have a real doctor tell you there is nothing wrong with you.

I had never seen one until recently. Had pain below my right shoulder blade if i stood or walked for any length of time, and also had some sacro-coccygeal inflamation.

Chiropractor has helped with both. My doctor actually recommended that I try one. Glad I did.

I would just be cautious of the chiropractors that purport to treat things like Autism, ADHD, and anything else that is not structurally related. One that says that it can effectively treat and/or cure just about anything and everything is either dishonest, illogical, or both.

If it's not degenerative disc they will help relieve pain by realignment the bones to take pressure off disks . I look at as I do cracking my knuckles. They reallign because I make them and it feels better afterward.

Waking up with headaches is a sign of sleep apnea

I use a chiropractor for minor things, back pain/neck pain

Massage is really good too

What do you people think chiropractors do?

What would you classify the "crack" as being?

What's the neurophysiological change that is occurring?

how many radiology classes did these chiropractors go to in order to read them just like a doctor who spent years learning it?

If your Spine (a series of very important bones that not only ensure your body can be upright but also protects your spinal cord, the tissue that literally relays messages of movement to your body) is out of "alignment, do you really think that a person who goes to school for a year should be messing with it? Don't you think it would be a medical emergency?

If you went to a financial advisor that told you to give him 50 bucks a week for the next 6 years and it may pay off would you?
