re: Chiropractic adjustment

The most important aspect of going to a chiropractor is first finding a good chiropractor.

That's what I tell everyone who asks a question like this. Finding a good one is essential. Talk to people who have used chiropractors. Find out if they like their's or not. Ask what treatment they received, how often, what the process was on their first appointment.

Any good chiropractor should x-ray you and/or have an MRI scheduled before they ever start treating you. They, as well as you, need to know the point from where the care is starting and the potential for relief or improvement of any issues you may have.

One of the biggest issues I believe people have with chiropractors is that they believe they are miracle workers. In many instances, they can provide great relief, and with continued care, that relief can be maintained.

What they cannot do is fix major issues that are beyond their scope of practice. A good chiropractor will know the scope of their abilities and capabilities, just as they will know their limitations. Some bad chiropractors believe they have no limitations. Those are the ones you avoid.
