To Chiro or Not Chiro

[Bill M. Hesse]

I was not able to pick up whether or not sarcasm was involved there. I see an MD and he is pretty inline with me. I go to a PT for injuries, and if I had spine issues, I might go see a chiro. I don't think they are a substitute for each other. OP, your chiro sounds like he might be making business for himself.

That would be a ridiculous thing to believe. Woman was made from Adam's rib... man was made from dust.

I think in the OP, I would run-run-run FAR away! Unfortunately many of the chiropractors that I have dealt with have been of this type. The "evidence-based chiro" that I've heard so much about I have dealt with very little if at all. When I was in college, we had one that came into the ATR each week and then was around as needed throughout the year. He was a great guy and somebody we would gladly send our athletes to with back problems.

Thanks for all the responses, the original pain is gone and I'm back to normal. At the risk of adding fuel to the fire, I came across the following website (WFS) http://www.chirobase.org/.

Thanks,

Hi five, Sara!

If you're going to mock Judeo-Christian beliefs, at least get the insult correct.

I am kinda biased and sold on the P.T. modality. I think first to see what they can do for me as I have corrected two debilitating injuries through p.t. no placebo involved. As with all professions, you are going to have some quacks, but I suspect that for the purpose of pain relief and education on proper positioning, D.C.'s have a place.

Have so few people actually had good experiences with chiros? I don't see mine right now, because I don't have to, but they helped me out with some issues and I'm a lot better for it.

Oh yeah, TONS of evidence over there ...

Megan,

Thanks for all the posts. I think I'm sensing sarcasm on your last post, but I'm not positive. The website I mentioned provided some interesting arguments, I would be very interested in your opinion or point of view on the info contained on that website.

The only thing that I'm sure of is that I don't need a chiro for my OP problem. I, however, am open to all opinions and arguments.

Thanks,
