Curious, why do you suggest not seeing a chiropractor for pain in the appendages?

Probably because the vast majorities of chiropractors base their business models on return visits, and therefore don't actually treat the issue, but do enough to keep you returning.

Find someone (and it could be someone who is a chiropractor, I found one like this) who wants to treat you to the point he/she never has to see you again. It may take a couple visits, but they eventually want you treated and gone.
