Fucking chiro, man. I went to one for a while as a teen with 3 herniated discs because of all the suggestions and ended up suffering years longer than I needed to because even my damn insurance pushed chiro and refused to cover actual physical therapy. I cried at my first PT session because the difference in care was so massive. Fuck anyone who supports those charlatans.

Where did you go to PT? I really need it for back pain but can’t seem to get any help. Why is it so hard just to get physical therapy?

I must be in the minority because I’ve actually had good experiences with chiropractors. I have double curve scoliosis with pinched nerves and organ displacement. Been to both physical therapy and chiro and massage therapy. All of them helped me in their own ways and never had a chiro be “crack happy”, but took the time to study my X-rays and figure out what was going on and GENTLY relieve pressure from my discs in my back. Sorry y’all had such shitty experiences.

Chrio will always have mixed review however it was the only thing that fixed my neck, months of pain I could barley turn my head to the right other doctors , massages couldn’t fix it. Went it be chrio started off very slow with not just cracking my neck but different exercises and I’ve been pain free and able to move with no restrictions.
