In reply to the discussion: Chiropractors Are Not What You Think They Are [View all]Jim__
(15,236 posts)2. The video is 28 minutes, I only watched about 3 minutes.
I'll say this. When I was younger I threw my back out from time to time. When I went to MDs, they gave me muscle relaxers, which worked for as long as I stayed on the muscle relaxers. When I stopped taking them, my back pain returned.
I started to go to chiropractors instead. Over the years, I probably went to about 5 different chiropractors. They all helped me. Essentially, on the first visit they'd "crack my back" and that did the trick. They would usually want me to come back, I learned to just go for the first visit which would resolve the problem.
For the last 25 years I've exercised a lot. If I lift weights, I always wear a back brace. I haven't had a back problem over those last 25 years.

The "founder" of chiropractic said he got the information from a ghost, so.

I never bought into the chiropractic heals everything, but it certainly helped with my back pain.
