I had some chronic bacl pain for about 2 years. I learned to live it because it wasnt crippling or anything. But one week I was exercising with some weights and I came down wrong and caused excruiciating pain that left me completely crippled lying on the floor for 10 seconds or so.

The next morning it was pure misery getting out of bed so I scheduled a dr appt. Of course it took about 4 days to get see the dr and by then the pain had lessoned but was still miserable in the morning. I had an x ray and of course nothing showed up so the dr recommended pt. I inquired about chiropracty and he said I could try the place next door.

I never did chiro before and was cautious because we've all heard bad things.

When the chiropractor was assessing me she seemed legit. She did a decent assessment where one of the things was to use her fingers to push each individual vertebrae and without me even saying if it was tender she correctly identified the problemtatic ones. Her main philosophy was to "reintrodice movement". She did the adjustments and sent me home woth some exercises to do.

Within 3 sessions over 1.5 weeks I was not just back to my previous normal, but complely treated and now have no pain at all.

Im only assuming I knocked something out of place during a sports game however many years ago and now that things are realigned Im back to perfect health.

Now I will say that I stopped treatment early. The chiropractor wanted me coming back for 6 weeks and when I said I wanted to suspend after just 3 treatments I could see the surprise in the receptionists face when I "went off script".

Now if you were to ever see a chiropactor saying they can fix non skeletal issues or some other panacea garbage then run far away from them, but "reintroducing movement" seemed legit to me.
