re: Anyone have any thoughts on Chirporacters? I don't mean recommendations, I mean overall?

After several years of seeing 7 different ones, I found one that I truly got positive results from. He told me during my first visit, he doesn’t want me as a lifelong patient. His goal was to solve the issue, not just treat the symptoms. He is the only one that used thermal heat and acupuncture and after seeing him for 7 months, 12 years ago, I haven’t had an issue.
My problem was from complications with spinal anesthesia during emergency surgery while in the Navy.

It depends what you need worked on. I have found that most of them promise too much.

Healing is not a 1 size fits all, it depends on the physical ailment(s). Most do require multiple visits & treatments, anyone thinking other wise is a fool.

I used to have chronic neck/shoulder pain and lower back issues, both sports related injuries. When I lived in a small town I tried a couple of different chiropractors, and they all did the same exact adjustments/therapies each time I went regardless of what was bothering me at that particular time. So that was a problem.

After 2-3 years playing around with that I moved to a larger town I tried a chiropractor that took x-rays and got immediate relief and we flexed my intervals from there as needed until I was comfortable. Went twice the first week, then every other week then monthly and now almost 15 years later I still see this chiropractor on a recurring visit every 6 weeks for routine maintenance. I'm still active in the gym and golf so my particular issues will never go away likely without surgery.

My daughter is almost 10 and we've been bringing her to this chiropractor since she was infant. When she was an infant it helped with both BMs and colic which both directly affected her & effectively our sleep.

I've gone in on several occasions and struggled to get out of bed and/or stand up straight, or couldn't hardly turn my neck, some of these were on days after physical activities, some were after apparently just being older and sleeping wrong. This chiro had me feeling like a brand new man pretty much after the 1st visit for each of these times.

Most of them are loaded. I found one I really liked in BR and he was broke AF

So maybe look for broke ones.

That bro can pound and last. Is he using a desesatizer cream or something else?

Both my parents were insurance adjusters, so I've been trained to assume chiropractors are full of shite.

I have a chiropractor who is a ex Olympic lifter. That guy has fixed my neck to the point of I no longer need surgery.

I have come to find out that there are different schools of chiropractics and they teach different philosophy so to speak.

One I used to go to, would barely touch you, the one I go to now really manipulates your spine and neck and I have to say I feel wonderful.

About 8 years ago I had a herniated disc in my lower back. I was in excruciating pain, I couldn’t stand for more than 30 seconds without dropping to my knees, I couldn’t sleep in a bed. Radiating pain from my lower back to my right leg and groin.

I wanted nothing more than to get cut on, anything to alleviate the pain. I tried a chiropractor as a last ditch attempt. The chiropractor told me that discs have the ability to heal themselves, you just have to take the pressure off the disc and allow it to heal.

After 6 weeks of treatment, and home yoga exercises to do, I haven’t felt the pain since. I would highly recommend a chiropractor for a herniated disc. Any other type of treatment, I have no idea experience.
