I can tell you that my neck is messed up–I went to the chiropractor for the first time last week and have gone to three more visits since then. I feel great once I leave, but the pain comes back in a few hours…I’m thinking it’s a sham. One of my friends said that she went three times a week for three months to get her back pain fixed. That seems a little excessive. I’ve decided it’s a better investment to spend the money on a massage that I’ll enjoy more and will likely have longer results.

December 6, 2007 at 9:52 PM #110978stansdParticipantI’m 31…a year ago I was doing Ironman triathlons. I now have 3 bulging discs and have been unable to sit for 8 months. I have been to many chiro’s in the area…I think they are well intentioned, but 70% of them are quacks.
One I visited in particular was convinced that my back could be fixed by flicking my thumb quickly in front of my eye to trigger a neurological response…that doesn’t exactly fix a bulging disc or annular tear.
Others I have been to that are half chiro, half physical therapist really know their stuff and are exceptionally helpful.
Recommendations from your friends don’t seem to count for much in this space…the folks most likely to recommend a chiro are the same ones least likely to know the wheat from the chaff.

I’ve been down that whole back pain rode and didn’t find the chiro to help at all, and I sure wouldn’t go if it wasn’t warrented. For me it was a last resort at the time, and I think core excersise, stretching and massage are the best!!December 6, 2007 at 10:07 PM #111108novice1027ParticipantFind yourself a good massage therapist and spend it that way!
