I don't go for it. But it's not based on experience. Never been to one and never plan to go. Have nothing at all to base it on. Just seems a little like voodoo to me and always has. I say this and my dang back will go out and I'll have to see one and be back on here praising em. Old friend of mine had to have back surgery after a back cracker saw him. I have the same prejudice against podiatrists. Nothing to base it on really. Just don't quite seem right to me.

I used one for ten years or so after a very debilitating back injury and long term physical therapy. She is great. An adjustment once every 6 months or so would keep me in really good shape.

When she could no longer help me she sent me to an orthopaedic surgeon and a long term pain management MD.

I have to have a nerve block about twice a decade now and don't even need the pain management.

My issue is in lower left back. The pain doesn't run down to my leg, just across back. I had to leave work today because the pain was so bad. I was going to put up treestands Saturday but that would be a negative now. Just need relief!!!

Too bad your not close to Homewood. I can highly recommend Dr. Ellen Witt at Witt Chiropractic Clinic.

Just got out with the Chiropractor. He said my "SI" was out which is causing my ligaments to strain. Right or wrong, that probe thing they put on you is worth the price of admission

I go at least once a month sometimes more often. I have a very good Chiro that gives stretches and excerises for each patient to do between visits and he does a full evaluation before the first adjustment.

Yes, Sir! That e-stimulator can work wonders. I get more out of that than I do the manipulation and adjustment.

My wife and her family swear by the chiro. But they also claim he fixed all sorts of ailments, and its just because your body needs to be "adjusted". I understand the joint and back problem thing, but they claim he fixes WAY more than that. I refer to him as their "voodoo doctor" and they hate it. But they also think oils replace medicine.


My brother is a doctor, and says the same thing as some of you. They are good for making ya feel better when your back hurts, but when it comes to real issues, you need to see a doctor.

I use one sporadically and it always takes a few visits to get straight.

I believe in them and I've had good and bad. No different than crappy doctors.

I go to one regularly. It helps me a lot. Pinched nerves they can help as MD is only going to give you muscle relaxers and hope it goes back in place. As with MD's some are quacks some are legit.
