per many many medical journals, chiropractors have a lot of dangerours aspects about them
Do you need to see a chiropractor? Many people think they do. Just about everyone thinks of a chiropractor when back pain is mentioned. There is considerable evidence that spinal manipulation can help relieve some types of neck and back pain. But neck manipulation can be dangerous. And according to a study published in the October 8, 1998, New England Journal of Medicine, spinal manipulation may be no more effective than physical therapy in the treatment of back pain and only marginally more effective than following a self-help instruction booklet. So what about chiropractic treatment? [1] Should you – or any member of your family – ever go to a chiropractor?
There is no doubt that dramatic relief of back pain will occasionally occur when manipulation is used to unlock a binding spinal joint. Many people with acute or chronic back pain experience relief of symptoms when the spine is loosened by manipulation performed by a chiropractor, an osteopath, a physical therapist, or an orthopedist. Manipulation is most readily available from chiropractors, however, and a report issued by the RAND Corporation stated that 94% of all such manipulation in the United States is done by chiropractors [2]. For this reason, many people who have back pain will visit a chiropractic office where they will experience spinal manipulation for the first time.
A survey of Consumer Reports readers published in May 2000 found that 35% of 46,860 respondents had used alternative therapies for a variety of problems, 40% of whom had chiropractic treatment for back pain [3]. The back-pain patients rated deep-tissue massage, chiropractic treatment, exercise, and physical therapy (in that order) as more effective than prescription drugs, acupuncture, over-the-counter drugs, and other forms of treatment.
Obviously, many people with back pain are going to chiropractors, and most of them are satisfied with the care they receive. But many are unaware of the controversy and the nonsense associated with some forms of chiropractic treatment and often become victims of misinformation.
read this before going
and if we are talking about personal experiences, a chirotpractor killed my grandfater, short story: Blood clot, chiropractor mis diagnosed it to be an “Out of aline spine” (go figure), “Aligned” his spine causing his clot to become loose, clot traveled to heart, massive heart attack. any one with an MD training would have found it, but since you go for training to become a chiropractor, not to school, it was mis diagnosed.
Again, go to a specialtist, it will be a more permenent solution
