HERE'S WHAT I THINK
Chiropractors: Savior of the back
I've had back pain for years and years which is really sad considering that I'm about to turn 32. I saw a chiropractor for a full year once a week about 4 years ago. I've never felt so good. Due to some changes with insurance I stopped going. In the time between then and now my back has continued to head downhill. I found out 3 years ago I had a Degenerative Disk Disorder and that my lowest disk was shot. Last year I found out that the next disk was also done in, and had actually fractured and was putting pressure on the S1 nerve running down my right leg. Long story shorter, a surgeon had to remove the fractured piece of the disk in order to give me comfort. Since then I haven't had as much pain, but it was still there nagging. 4 months ago I started seeing another chiropractor, but 2 times a week this time. After taking x-rays they showed me that I have no curve in my neck or lumbar, something that no other doctor had ever pointed out. In 4 months the pain that I was feeling has definitely subsided. I still have pain from time to time, but I know that my spine and neck are adjusting into the proper positions and can feel that this pain is different.
From my experiences, Good Chiropractors are saviors of the back!

CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT
This video shows how chiropractic adjustments are performed by Dr. Stephen R. Gunter, DC. It is an actual office visit and was posted for educational purposes and to promote dialogue. For those interested in this field, this is a great video to observe. If there are questions, Dr. Gunter will check in to answer. Frequently asked question: "What was that clicky thing he was pushing on him? He does it at 4:26" Answer by Dr. Gunter (BackCarePlus) "This is clearly the most common question I get. That is an adjusting instrument called an Activator. It is spring loaded for rapid delivery of a force to move one vertebra at a time and has some advantages (and disadvantages, too) compared to traditional manual techniques. This treatment sequence shows several distinct methods of correction, and I commonly combine them in the manner shown, although there are times that one single method may be more desirable on a given treatment session."
