My chiro has sorted out decades of pain. My old chap saw a doctor about a pain in his lower back and leg… he had an op to remove loads of arthritis in his spine… pain continued… doc did some more tests and scans… didn’t know what was causing it and suggested fusing his spine. Saw my chiro and it sorted it after 2 weeks.
A year with the same issues is way too long! I'll see a patient for a max of 2 weeks with neurological symptoms before deciding on imaging. If they persist or worsen, they get an MRI. Then we start talking about an orthopedic consult (for which I have 3 main places I send people). Chiropractic isn't BS, it's just like any profession. You have good ones and bad ones. The bad ones are usually basing their clinical decisions on their own desires (usually monetary). The good ones make decisions in their patient's best interests. Joe, sounds like you got a bad deal. There's no way that I would be treating you for a year with those symptoms. I'd have referred you to imaging and surgeon by a 6 week mark. That being said. I've been able to help a lot of patients avoid surgery. It is incorrect to think that a radiculopathy such as yours would not respond to the correct conservative care: Specific gentle manipulation/mobilization, traction, targeted stretches/exercises. The controversy on whether spinal manipulation (by Chiro, Osteo, PT, or otherwise) is helpful has been put to rest. It is effective for certain conditions when used appropriately, but there are risks to every therapy (especially spinal surgeries). References: Rand Report 1995, WHO Bone & Joint Task Force 2008, Koes et al J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1993, Palmgren J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2006. Joe, I'm glad you found something that helped. Please keep in mind that one bad experience with one Doc does not make the entire profession BS. About every professional athletic team in the US has an on-staff Chiro: There's a reason for that.
Joe it’s obvious you know little, except what you have read about Chiropractic. But all being relative should I take the opinion of someone who use to think getting punched and kicked in the head was a good idea? And who also liked to punch and kick others in the head. Now on to our Magnetic healer! Was he a huckster, who knows? He supposedly was a magnetic healer. But before you poke fun at that can you honestly look me in the face and tell me with the discoveries they have made in quantum physics about how things actually function at the quantum level, that he may without knowing it been ahead of his time? Now there are some simplistic techniques in Chiro., and some complicated ones. Look up Sacro-Occipital Tech. And lets see you get your head around that on the first try. As to actual science lets take a look at the medical profession. Read a few books like, “WHAT REALLY MAKES YOU ILL,” and “THE TRUTH ABOUT CONTAGION:” by an MD. Why after how many years is the “GERM THEORY” still a theory? Because they apparently cannot prove it. As pointed out in these books, where is the written, published and scientifically accepted proof that germs, bacteria, or virus cause disease? They the medical profession is very good at calling anyone who does not do things their way, the drug way, QUACKS! But where is their definitive proof verifying their methodology?
It's good for adjusting. Say your hips
If you need hand-on musculoskeletal treatment seek out an Osteopathic physician, one that does Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment.
