I though they worked for duck weed.
Never have been to a Chiropractor myself, although I have had surgery done on my leg and shoulder in the past and went to Surgeons/Physical Therapists that were associated with the Rays/Buccs.
The only Chiropractor I knew personally really was one that a former bosses daughter raged about, that I never went to.
Until he screwed her neck up badly and she sued him, more or less.
She was in good shape too, had taken ballet most of her life and almost made the Cheer Leading squad at University of Florida when she was there.
She kind of changed her views after that one.
It's like lawyers. You don't know the one you've got sucks til you're good and fucked over. Empirical evidence is virtually worthless. Every case is different, and the opinions are given by unqualified people. Perhaps your case was successful because it was easy, not because your lawyer/chiropractor was skilful...There are bad chiros out there and good ones. It can be hard to figure out who to go to.

I've never known anyone that's "completed" treatment with one so I second this.Because their "treatment" only temporarily fixes anything so you're forced to keep going back.
But that seems kinda low.

I have completed treatment and it was successful.
Now you know someone.

Her neck was probably already screwed up.
Have you looked?
When I was really young (~12 years old), I woke up one morning and my neck was so tight I couldn't turn my head more than an inch or two to either side, and the pain was excruciating. Chiropractor fixed it.
~10 years later, stabbing pain in my chest during any impact (like running). Went to the same guy -- walked out of his office able to run without any problems.
I forget how old I was (again, fairly young) - could barely raise my right arm above 90 degrees - it caused severe pain in my shoulder. Turns out the muscles that run under my armpit were ridiculously tight. He fixed that (hurt like hell) and showed me how to stretch to prevent it from recurring.
Last year - fucked up and instead of re-racking and starting over, completed an off-balance 275lb squat. My lower back locked up and I was walking all hunched over like a 100yo guy for days. I found another chiropractor (was on the other side of the country of my old one), who fixed that.
All of the above incidents were corrected by a single visit.
Agreed. And there certainly are shitty chiropractors, as well as mediocre ones. But to act like there are no good ones is stupid.

You sound like a walking train wreck. I'm over 60 and don't / haven't had any issues like that. Damn.
<< never been to one. not going to one.

I think I missed this thread. :hmm:
Chiropractics has a wishy-washy scammy type of reputation because it was more or less named after and founded on metaphysics garbage. They were more or less like today's crazy antivaxxers.
To this day, there is still a lot of bogus hogwash involved in chiropractics.
The good news, is that there has been much reform. There clearly is legitimate work that they can do for problems related to the spine.
Studies have shown that spinal manipulation therapy and mobilization can be pretty effective treatment for back pain.
You're over 60 and this ignorant. Wow. I guess professional and Olympic athletes are just stupid for using chiropractors.
