Love 'em. I go whenever I need to. Can't live without one. Plus I love the massage before hand. Plus one suspected my food allergies, got me tested and found them. Symptoms gone.

Useful, but the minute they say I'm going to need adjustments for the next 2 years I'm out. Too many are quacks.

Went to go meet with one last year for my neck issues, and he took some x-rays and wanted to put me on some aggressive 3 visit a week plan for 3 months that was going to cost me $1500 with no guarantees it wasn't going to fix the problem. Ummm...no sale.

Zero science behind them having any use other than temporary pain relief for back issues. Basically like a massage will give you.
It amazes me that it is an accepted profession given that they are only marginally more useful than witch doctors. |

So you think masking pain with drugs is better?

Btw, did you know that if you go to a "straight" chiro it is likely they don't believe in germs theory or vaccinations.. I shit you not. That's the kind of "doctor" I want manipulating my spine!

They can push a lot of things you really don't need like vitamins, etc, but if you find a good one that just does what you want they are great. I've used one for several years and there are times when a cracking is the only thing that fixes my issues.
That, and now I own my own Tens device. It's awesome. |

I'll add a caveat. There are some chiros who aren't complete whack jobs. They recognize that what they do is simply physical therapy. In those cases, my issue is... why not go to a REAL physical therapist?
