re: Is going to the chiropractor 6 times a week excessive?

I sure think so. In the beginning, when my back would "go out", the chiropractor would "adjust" me one time and I was good to go. I've got a bit of scoliosis.

Later on, it seemed I had to have several follow ups to get some relief.

Then I discovered a local sports medicine physical therapist (also chiropractic) that showed me some stretching exercises that I could do on my own and the problem is gone.
