Chiropractors a waste of time????

[270win]

My wife goes to the chiropractor about once a fortnight because she can “barely move”.

He does his little tricks, holds his hand out for cash and sends her on her merry way till the next visit.

I think he is a glorified back cracker and that chiropractic’s are just a sham. To me it’s like having a tyre that goes flat and paying someone to pump it back up for you every few days rather than getting the puncture fixed properly.

Furthermore I think a decent health carer would say hey, wait on a minute luv you come here quite often with the same ailment and what I do doesn’t seem to fix you for long at all, maybe I should refer you to a spinal or physio specialist rather than just doing the same thing over and over.

Don’t get me wrong she comes out saying how much better she feels, but that lasts f**k all.

Am I being harsh or do they just sell snake oil???

I used to go to one but use an osteopath instead now but if she is having this problem all the time maybe it is time to get a second opinion.

That one made me laugh...

Yeah to be honest I don't believe in any of that either and seen many people throw money away. My misses sounds like yours....lol

My way to deal with pain....Eat some concrete have a shower. If pain persists see a bottle!!!

Most of the problem is people just sit on the couch in pain and it gets worse...Get up go for a long walk and get everything moving and back in line....Stretches and walking can fix a lot of those problems.

i used to go to a Chiro once a week and he kept me walking. a couple of years i did this and got instant relief.

I ahve since been to an Osteopath for other things and they basically said generally "Maintenance" should not be required if the cause is being treated. Find the reason. I'd go to the Osteopath for an opinion.

I am too scared to see a chiro, prefer a physio. Watched too many TV commandos and spooks breaking necks :-)

Wife had a good one, but we moved, and she couldn't find one that suited her in our new location - but did find a very hands on physio. When I say hands on, lots of assisted stretches and pulling and pushing. When that physio works on me she braces on the walls - both the walls and I have been known to groan :-)

Twice ive tried the physio and it's made things worse. Spose it's a case of what suits the individual
