Chiropractors

[blueta2]

I have been going once a week for probably 5 years now. I added 30 minutes of deep tissue in back, neck and shoulders a couple of years ago. Runs me about $39 bucks a week because I pay a year in advance. Helps greatly for my lower back, couple of worn down disks, shoulder and neck injuries of the past that seem to hurt now that I am getting older.

Not all Chiro's are the same though. Some are really into the whole special medicine kind of thing and think doctors are quacks. Not for me. Found a guy that is legit and does the trick. To each his/her own though.

that's the key, to find a guy who is not a quackie quack. Referal is the way to go I guess.

Awesome....I have the worst neck issue. Marc will usually massage it for me (he's great at it) but I need a good cracking

Thanks

A good chiro can do wonders, a bad one can fuck you up for life, just like any other bad doctor.

The best results I've had are sticking with weight training, getting a TempurPedic bed, and seeing my chiro once every three weeks to a month.

I have degenerative discs throughout my whole back in addition to several congenital spinal "malformations."

I also have a lot of hope for getting benefits from Tai Chi (if I ever learn how to walk *sigh*)

That's what I'm worried about, getting a bad one. Like he cracks me and I lost all feeling in my legs or something.
But the name of the guy I got looks good. Lots of good ref's.
I'm having trouble lifting weights lately b/c of the lupus. I've been to the gym like 4 times in the past month. So bad!
I need to force myself. I'm still swimming and walking though.

Good recommendations are the key with a chiropractor, seriously. If you have several people saying they were happy with him, then you can feel pretty confident.

Look at it this way, with my neck problems, if I can still feel my toes after nearly 30 years of adjustments (and some of them were pretty bad chiros) no worries for you.

Have you ever considered seeing a Chinese medical specialist for the lupus? One who does herbs and acupuncture? I believe a lot (if not all) autoimmune diseases have to do with screwed up body energy (blocked Qi) in addition to other things (environmental toxins, low grade food intolerance, heavy metal exposure, stress, etc.).

I really hope you're feeling better soon

I've been to a couple of them for my back. For me it was always a very temporary fix to the problem. All they do is pop the fluid, which always refills anyways. They help but it's more important (for back issues anyways) to learn better posture to prevent further problems. You could easily go through a lot of money with the chiropractic approach.
