a relative has severe lower back pain the doctor prescribed muscle relaxer. Are you saying it will help if he goes to the right chiropractor. for an adjustment. He’s having a hard time (at times) of walking.

I have a friend that’s a chiropractor. I stopped going to him because I always left there feeling worse. He does the same adjustment on everyone no matter what their complaint is. He also uses a lot of ultrasound and stim. I now see another chiropractor and his techniques are so different every visit. I do feel better when I leave his office but it doesn’t last long. I live a very active life. I now how a full thickness rotator cuff tear, a torn biceps tendon and a torn labrum. I also have a tear between L4-L5. I continue to go to the Chiroprator in hopes that he can ease the pain to get me through the ski season. Unfortunely I’ll have to give up playing spring soccer to have surgery. I’m 51 and not ready to sit down yet.

In reply to Maria. You may have gone to a pain management chiropractor. A principled corrective care chiropractor would rarely ever adjust you without a thorough consultation and/or trays. I suggest you try to find a chiropractor who will listen to you and if need be not manually adjust you. Many chiropractors will use instruments that adjust your spine by the mm so that it is not painful and the adjustment then holds better!

I have many things wrong with my back, including Spinal Stenosis. I go to my Chiropractor twice a week. If for some reason I miss, I am miserable! Have also been having migraine’s for all of my Adult life. He helps me even more than I even know. Love my Chiropractor !! Highly recommended!

In reply to Maria. Maria, I am sorry you feel you had a bad experience with a chiropractor. I inform all new patients that there may be an initial increase in soreness after the first visit, but it is important to continue with at least 4 treatments. The reason for this is that the muscles, joints, and nervous system have been out of alignment for so long that they think that is normal. When you get adjusted for the first time ever, this can be disruptive to what the body perceives as normal. Getting through this period usually takes 2-4 visits, and markedly improved after 10-15 visits. This increase in pain only affects about 25-30% of new patients, but if they didn't explain it to you then I know how that could be scary and make you think that it doesn't work. I hope you try again with a new Chiropractor. It will make life better!

I really appreciate my chiropractor. He has adjusted my upper and lower extremities and also my ears. That adjustment actually seems to clear my head and pressure I have felt in my ears. I recommend chiropractic care, but be sure you are comfortable with his treatment care.

I found a wonderful chiropractor. I went to one previously that used the “cracking” method. My new chiropractor uses other methods and I think that is better for a person than the “cracking”.
Anyway, I was at my wits end. I had a hip replacement and it was months and I still could not walk on my own. The doc that did the surgery kept saying it was just going to take time. He sent me for a second opinion. Neither doc knew what to tell me. My husband heard about this chiropractor, from his niece, that has a Magnesphere. I have fibromyalgia , so my husband figured it would help with that, plus I have a lot of arthritis. When I went in for my consultation, they scanned my feet, did xrays plus some other tests. He determined that , the hip I had replaced, is higher than my other hip and my spine had curved at the bottom. He also determined that my arches dropped whewhenwas on my feet. I Iow have arches for my shoes, a heel lift and I had to have the sole of my one shoe built up to even out my hips. He also had determined that my spine was off to one side a bit. He fixed me up and did not crack me once. My point is: there was such a big difference between the two chiropractors that I saw. I tell everyone that doesn’t believe in chiropractors to rethink their views about them.

I had my neck adjusted and it’s never been the same. I spent two months in chronic pain and now low mobility. I regret the day I walked in a chiropractor’s office. I went in because of back pain and left with the worst neck pain. Sorry not a believer.

In reply to Lesley. If a Chiropractor is licensed in your state he or she is certified and most chiropractors are legitimate. Make sure that the Chiropractor you choose has a detailed treatment plan with expected outcomes. This is also the case with any doctor.

I adore my chiropractor! Seven years ago I had a pinched nerve in my upper back. My MD gave me steroids and said if those didn’t work we’d have to do an MRI. Since that is diagnostic, the implication was that surgery was next. A friend recommended her chiropractor. He had me totally fixed in 5 treatments! The next time I had a pinched nerve (in another spot) he had me fixed in 3 visits! Love that man!!!! He keeps me healthy when everyone around me is getting sick. By the way, haven’t been back to see that MD!

Sorry for the late entry. I was raised in a Chiropractic family – as were my 8 siblings. I have never been inside a hospital (other than to visit sick or pregnant friends). I am 58 years old. My siblings have similar health records. When I married, my wife switched to this homeopathic approach to health and quickly experienced relief from all of her previous conditions (particularly arthritis). We raised 3 kids also Chiropractically (regular adjustments, good diet, daily exercise and NO poisonous vaccinations). They are now adults and have only required traditional/modern/western medical treatment for one appendicitis and four child births. My wife and I do get regular examinations now (that we’re 58); but so far the MD’s haven’t found any problems.

Chiropractic is rarely a quick fix for anything. If you think it should be, you’re confusing it the pharmaceuticals that are really great at masking symptoms of bigger problems that will go unresolved because the Rx and MDs are so very good and temporary fixes. Healthcare begins with “prevention”. Too many people don’t understand the role Chiropractic plays in Life-Long Long-Life.

In reply to Mona. There are nerves that work to specifically to control urination. These nerves carry messages to and from the brain about the bladder, when to urinate, etc. Sometimes the bones in the vertebral column can misalign to the extent that pressure is placed on these nerves and the signals being sent to through these nerves are interfered with, resulting in overall dysfunction. Chiropractors help to realign these bones in order to relieve the pressure on these nerves so the body can function at its optimal level.

I have had great success with chiropractic! I have a friend who has a 17 year old daughter who has a frequent urination problem. I’m sure chiropractic care can help. Can you explain why and how it will help so I can present it to the friend? This child has had this issue since grade school. It affects her classroom, sports and even bus rides to sports. She has had surgery, tried eliminating acid foods, pastas, etc but nothing has worked. Thank you for your time!

In reply to Rick. Hi Rick, you may want to check with your local VA hospital to see if they offer Chiropractic care, most currently do. While doing my Doctorate in St. Louis i did a residency program int he VA hospital which was a very rewarding experience and got to help many veterans of all ages and conditions. It would be worth the time to find a good fit in chiropractic care!

What’s the best way to find a legitimate and certified chiropractor in my area?

By: Bob

Bob — Mon, 11 Aug 2014 17:10:35 +0000

The ingredients amounts make no sense, compared to the directions
Coconut Almond Joy’s
Total Time: 20 minutes Serves: 12

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup coconut butter – is only 8 tablespoons
1/2 cup raw almonds – Too many almonds based on the directions
4 dark chocolate bars, minimum 72% cacao – What size bars?
1/3 cup coconut flakes

DIRECTIONS:
1. Line a min cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Place two almonds in each liner.
You would have extra almonds
2. Warm coconut butter in a pan over medium heat and spoon onto almonds (a tbsp. at a time).
not enough for 12
3. Melt chocolate bars in a separate pan and spoon on top of coconut butter. Sprinkle with coconut
flakes and place pan in freezer to harden.

Was in a military accident back in 1072. Was not to survive and since then I have been to many chiropractors. They can not help me and the Veteran AFFAIRS will not do surgery. I think they want to see how much pain I can endure. The chiropractors are worthy going to for most things. Just not what I have.

I love many of your fb posts however I strongly recommend you research network chiropractic treatments. I can’t say that traditional chiropractic treatments have done anything for me. Check out http://www.bodyinbalancechiropractic.com where I’ve gone for 2+ years. Now this approach will change your body for the better!
