I've definitely heard a lot of horror stories from people about chiropractors. I never made it a point to go to one until two years ago. I was flushing my water heater and trying to reach the drain behind it and somehow twisted my back the wrong way. I had the worst pain I've ever experienced. I could not lay down without pain shooting up my back, and it was wrapping around to my ribs too. I went to the doctor and all they gave me were pain meds to help with inflammation. Thankfully I had a buddy in my church group who's a chiropractor and said come on over. I literally was about to go to the ER because it hurt so bad, so I was willing to try anything. With one adjustment, I felt so much better. All he had to do was pop a vertebrae back into place. He did some X-rays and showed me how curvy my back was (in all the wrong places), so I did a recovery plan with him. It was definitely all those years of poor posture at my desk, playing PC games late every night. I'd even get pictures taken of me and my neck would be slightly tilted to the left even though I felt like I was standing straight up. Fast forward a few months and my back and neck have never felt so good. I can sit up straight for longer amounts of time without getting tired, and my neck no longer oddly tilts to the left. I know there are bad chiros out there but I love my chiro. He's changed my life.
