Do any of you go to a chiropractor??

I've never gone to a chiropractor but it sure sounds nice to be put back into alignment again!

I hurt my back really badly cheerleading in high school. I could barely get off the couch it hurt so badly. I went to the doctor and she examined me and gave me some Vioxx. I was very disappointed because I knew there was something wrong wtih my back and I didn't want to just cover it up with medication. One of my friends recommended that I visit a chiropractor. They examined me, did x-rays, etc. and after the necessary adjustments, I was 100% pain free, and without medication!!!! I do not go on a regular basis now, but I do go when I feel my back starting to hurt again. I highly recommend it. But you really need to do your research because there are alot of bad ones out there that could really mess you up. But if you go to a good one, it is a wonderful experience. It feels so good, too!

I have gone to chiropractors for many years for problems with a couple of disks in my neck. From .my experience they are not a cure, but can definitely help. I'll share more when i'm on a real computer. I'm using my Palm right now for access.

I've been to a chiropractor several times and at the time I wasn't helped from going. My husband has gone and he usually is helped by going. It kinda' depends on what your problem is. I was using the wrong muscles and they needed strengthened so I didn't get any relief from the chiropractor, but my husband often gets something pinched or a little bit out of whack and it almost always helps him. I would recommend asking around and find people who have used the chiropractors in your area because some are a lot rougher than others.
