[QUOTE="proups, post: 55235"] I guess I'll be the only one with a bad experience with a chiropractor.... I had a back injury 12 years ago. I did the MD thing, and was on meds as many of you have mentioned, when I was referred to a "good chiropractor" for a consultation. He took an x-ray of my back and told me I would be OK after a few adjustments. It didn't work. I stayed the course with the regular MD after that, got an MRI, then was referred to a neurosurgeon. The neuro took about a five second look at two pages of MRI pics, and showed me where I had a herniated disc pinching a nerve. I underwent surgery, and was back to work pain free in four weeks. I can't say that all chiropractors are bad - some people swear by them. But when I told my neurosurgeon that I had been to one for my back, he told me that one wrong "back crack" could have paralyzed me from the waist down. I think I'll put my money on the doc trained to operate on my brain vs. the chiropractors. [/QUOTE]
