Honest opinions about Chiropractic care, do you believe in it, yes or no? |
All you really need to say it that you believe in it or you don't. I'm just curious about how many people do believe in it versus the number of people who don't. Thanks There is a wide spectrum of practicing chiropractors. You have some that do some really weird stuff and then you have the new breed of chiropractors coming out of school now that are trained more medically. What I mean by that is that the newer chiropractors are trained to diagnose as well as treat symptoms using everything from adjusting techniques to physical therapy modalities and rehabilitation. When you are injured or in pain, you essentially have inflammation, tissue injury and muscle spasms that cause pain and dysfunction. Chiropractors use therapies such as ice, heat, electrical modalities to relieve the inflammation, heal tissue injury, and rehab you so that you return back you your normal state of health prior to injury. Chiropractic Adjustments are used mainly to restore RANGE OF MOTION and restore FUNCTION of the joints. Health is based on proper body mechanics and motion. If chiropractors would stop claiming that they can fix everything and just accept that we are good at mechanics of the human body, maybe we would not have so much controversy. This is rapidly approaching since many of the so called quacks are retiring and the newer breeds of science based chiropractors are replacing them. Doctors of Chiropractic have at least a Bachelors Degree prior to being accepted to a 4 year chiropractic program and complete a year of internship in a outpatient clinic training under medical and chiropractic doctors treating injuries and pain. That's 8 years of study and well over 120K in student cost to become a chiropractor, and then we have to deal with the controversy about the last remaining weirdos out there. *SamHarveyMD is completely biased about alternative healthcare and has all his facts wrong. The website he claims is also biased and presents false facts about non-allopathic practitioners. There is more to chiropractic to which he is completely ignorant about.

I have never felt better. sorry, i can't say yes or no. it really depends on the chiropractor. some are great, others make you dependent on their adjustments. unless i already knew a good one, i'd stay away and go with a massage therapist. Never been to one. I'm not having any problems to go see one. I've heard mixed things about 'em. Some people it helps em' some it doesn't. I'm very skeptical about chiropractic care. Most of what they do is simply conventional physical therapy: heat, cold, whirlpool, massage, stretching, TENS unit. I don't really see why chiropractic "adjustments" would do anything, and may even hurt the person. In Canada, people with neck and back sprains are told to rest for a few days and take warm baths, as opposed to the sometimes abusive amount of therapy that Americans get for the same injuries. And, wouldn't you know it, Canadians report much quicker recovery times. It helped me but the guy wanted me to keep coming back and I didn't feel it was necessary. I don't believe in that thing they do where they test your arm strength while you hold a bottle of something to see if ur allergic to that something. |
