Outlaw chiropractic

I went for Physical therapy for a sore back. Over the 2 weeks there it got worse, to where it would seize up and I had to stop in my tracks. This is a good group I went to, I doubt it was their fault, it would have happened anyway. But my chiropractor was then able to re-align me on the first session back.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s important to find the right treatment for your specific needs. Sometimes, different approaches work better for different people. I’m glad to hear your chiropractor was able to help you find relief. If you have ongoing issues, it’s always a good idea to communicate with your healthcare providers to find the best solution for you.

A good physical therapist knows what he/she is doing, where their limitations are. Chiropractors are confused that they are medical doctors; thus, they all too often far exceed what they are capable of. Chiropractors are DANGEROUS in their so-called "adjustments," severing spinal cord damage.

We have worked with some wonderful chiropractors, so it is very dependent on the practitioner. We always want our patients to understand who they are seeing and why the actions are taking place before they receive any treatment.
