Anyone believe in chiropractic?

They have their place but try to find one that looks at things more from an athletes perspective. I went to one years ago for low back pain. He adjusted me so frequently I ended up with hypermobility in my upper vertabras. I now see one that is a fellow body builder and she is great. Gives me just the treatment I need and thats it. Also make sure they diagnose you properly. My first injury turned out to be from torn ligimenets between L4 & L5

I have a very good friend that is a chiropractor, I'd never tell him, but many of them are nuts. I don't think a few adjustments a year is going to hurt, but when they start pitching for you to show up every week for an adjustment, I start worrying.
Personally, I don't use them any more because the last few adjustments I had seemed to worsen the problem I went in to have corrected. Other people I know swear by them, but I suppose it's a personal choice.

My buddy the back cracker won't let his kids get vaccinated. He and his wife are under the impression the AMA are part of some huge conspiracy. They also limit their kids milk intake for some unknown conspiracy theory as well.
Many of his chiropractic friend are very big into homeopathic medicine.
Don't get me wrong, some of it works, but like you mentioned, when they start trying to tell me that giving me an adjustment will help prevent or even cure cancer, I start backing away.

I go to the chiro 3 times a week and it does wonders for my well being and conditioning. Coming from a family with a history of back problems, it feels great to get your spine loosened up a bit as mine tends to get pretty tense, especially after a training session. I 100% recommend chiro for you, especially if you've got a pinched nerve, it will help get your nervous system back on track and by fixing the subluxation, it will ease up the nerve...you wont regret it.

You should be able to have a free consultation, and the good ones will do either an xray or a heat graph. The heat graph will show each spine ligament and where exactly you need fixed. Give it a try, and good luck to you bro.
