I went to one who scared the HELL out of me, cracking my neck! Then, I found the one I see now and she's just wonderful! I have an old whiplash injury which still gives me fits, and probably always will. She really helps with that. Yes...there's some "woo woo" in the office but I ignore it.

I have friends that swear by them, but I think that it's faulty science.

Yes. A chiropractor treated both the painful symptoms and the cause of my stenosis. Traditional medical doctors wanted to start with steroids leading to eventual surgery, with no guarantees. If you are seeking a chiropractor, do your research. Find one with experience treating your specific ailment. Get references. Just like traditional medical doctors, some are better than others.

Absolute bunk. Do know anyone who was cured of anything by a chiropractor?

I grew up as the daughter of a chiropractor and there was definitely an anti-medical bias in our house. That said, I think there was some benefit in embracing a less medicalized world view. Personally, for occasional back pains as an adult, I’ve found massage to be more helpful.

Chiropractory is not based on religion. Its based on understanding the bodies alignments and putting various vertebrae back in alignment. If you find a chiropractor that is woo woo, that him/her not the practice. Its a lot like be a mechanic and having two gears gett out of alignment or timing.

Hey remember Alan on "2 and a half men" was a chiropractor and they nailed it on the show.

Being so sick myself, I can tell you what works for me, does NOT work for others, and vice versa. I take my health as a project that I am managing - with best outcomes for all.

I’ve had good luck with chiropractic for my back for 20 years but I draw the line at my spine. When they try going into other areas I’m fairly skeptical. One was going to cure me with yogurt. Dude, you aren’t going to cure me with yogurt. A stretching thing called Rossiter has worked for me too. It was a bit paunful but got the job done.

I have had no experience with any.
However, my late grandmother saw one nearly 40 years ago, and he helped her
to walk upright again.

Used to be okay. Not so much anymore.

I have seen it work in specific applications. Other times, no. So the question is too general even though I answered yes.

i have friends who swear by them. i have been to a few and none ever helped me a bit. one molested me. i do not blame chiropractics for the molester but whatever good that field may offer it has never offered me.

I have a relative whose chiropractic speciality is adjusting the plates in the skulls of newborn infants.

I see an ortho/PT for my bulging discs. I've been pain free since May 2008. The PTs taught me tricks to self align as at every visit my spine was out of alignment.
