I've had terrific care and really bad care from chiropractors. The great care was from a doc that treated my stiff neck in a few sessions and taught me what to do to keep it happening again - too many hours staring through a microscope at one sitting, I had a straight neck. And the bad care was from a Quack-o-Practor that used one of the thumper things, said he could cure my vertigo (yeah, right, it's neural damage), suggested I come in for 6-8 weeks of therapy 3x per week. One session gave me the one of the worst migraines ever. Funny thing was that my neighbor had been trained by her chiropractor/uncle and it took her 4 days of working on my back and neck to un-do what the Quack did in 1 session.

So, I'll only go to one if I have a recommendation from a current patient. I'm much more inclined to trust massage therapists. Maybe that's misplaced, but I've been really happy with the care I've gotten from the MT's.
