You will not like my opinion of MOST chiropractors, which is WHY I o not go toe them and never will.
My wife however, found this out the hard way and it cost me a LOT of money.
She had lower back pain just as I did and still do, several years ago. Our doofuss uncle talked her into trying this
chiropractor out who swore up and down this guy healed him when nobody else could...
So she bit and made an appointment. She went. and went. And went. And went. This time we are going to try something different. so she bit some more. And then after 20 visits we get told about cold laser therapy. So she went. And went. And went.
Finally after 26 visits I told the chiro what I thought of him and that we would not only would never be back but that I would make it my life's mission to tell everyone I know to stay away from him.
And then my daughter tells my wife about another chiro Quacker she goes to around our area and how good he has was. She had told him about her mother and he swears he can help.
SO, ten visits later to this Quack with same outcome I finally pulled the plug.
We went to my Orthopaedist who repaired my facets and discovered the cause of my lower back pain and in two test discovered hers as well. In four visits total, including the original, she was cured.
The object for many so called Chiropractors is that they, like you, are trying to make money and in their profession, they do that by repeat visits and endless billing. Many times you just pay for it yourself out of your own pocket so there is nobody over seeing what is going on and they keep stringing you along.
In MY house, that was our first and last experience with Chiros.
That guy that told you had a vertebra broke in half should not be allowed to practice period. YOU should have had an CT scan at least, X-rays, or MRI. The X-rays and CT should have been sufficient to confirm.
When it comes to my lower back pain I don't screw around.
I called The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and asked for a referral to a local doctor that could help. I was given the name of my doctor, and called them. I was in his office in two days and in three weeks was undergoing 3 hour long surgery in their own ambulatory surgical center which was designed for back operations. A couple weeks of therapy and I was pretty much out of pain.
SO we do not have anything good about our experiences with the only two Chiros that have been seen in my family... I suspect this quack you saw was looking for a continued payday....
It cannot be proven but that sure is how it looks and smells.
Glad that news was better.
Nemo, I take the generic equivalent of Voltaren, and anti-inflammatory daily, twice a day. One in morning with food and at evening with food. It helps keep the inflammation under control and is not a narcotic.
It is cheap also. $4.00 for a month supply at Walmart pharmacy. I recommend it to you.
Take care,
