I have never been to one.
DW has been having some pain. She has been to a couple of Orthopedic Docs will little relief. She has had MRIs, Xrays, a variety of tests. They see some problems that are minor, but not enough for surgery.
Her pain is not unbearable, but it bothers her and makes her very uncomfortable. And it seems to move around in her back in the area of her shoulder and shoulder blade..
She has also tried a number of non-conventional avenues... I suppose one begins to get desperate... Now she is seeing a Chiropractor.
I did not go to the visit with her. But from what I can gather, he has implied that she has been compensating for an original pain that may be gone away (minor injury about a year ago) and over about a year she has gotten out of alignment as a result of compensating to ease the original pain. As she continues to compensate for the new pain area (pain resulting for compensation #1)... pain emerges in a different area (compensation #2).
The basic idea that bones can get misaligned makes sense... But... I am not a Physician... so who am I to judge? Still, I hope she is not wasting her time.
This Chiropractor was raving about a new high-tech thinga-ma-bob that is suppose to be a revolutionary machine for performing alignments. I was curious and did a search on the internet. Low an behold one of the thinga-ma-bobs is being sold on ebay by someone... now I am really skeptical. It was listed right beside the snake oil and magical beads [sarcastic joke]... actually the other things listed were other unconventional devices.
I am a bit of a skeptic. I hope it works for her.
What do you think? More important, what has been your experience?
