May I politely disagree and emphaticly state that chiropracters are money grubbing quacks. A good masseuse will do you more good for the money, and not beat you up with so called "adjustments". For bigger problems, a good physical therapist is who you want. They can do everything a chiropracter can but usually don't, because there are better ways. And they teach you how to take care of yourself. Last I heard the vogue for chiropractic among elite and pro athletes had long passed because cracking bones just doesn't help soft tissue issues. Most teams keep a masseuse, works better.
Osteapaths, (D.O.) who have the same training as M.D.s and chiropracters, tend to think chiropracters are quacks too. At least the ones I've talked to do. That'd be about six or eight.
Irulan, if you've found the only decent chiropracter on the planet, that's great and I'm glad it works for you. I wonder though, that a competant health care prof. would do adjustments after an endo, which by its nature usually wants a neck X-ray pretty promptly.
Over the years, I've used all the above mentioned types of care and think chiropracters cause more harm than good. That way they keep you coming back to spend money and buy bogus treatment. Who's on all those infomercials hawking mail order snake oil? Chiropracters.
Cruziegirl, you probably need a good massuese. One who plays sports- they understand what you need.
