Swirlie...you are right on...find one you can trust. I have had a regular chiropractor for 20 years and I will find it difficult to find another like him. After I had a car accident I called him right away and he said to come in that afternoon. I had whiplash of course. He then said come back in 48 hours because the next day everything was going to be stiff and it was. I went back 2 days later and 5 days after that and everything was alright.

He has always told me to come when I feel the need to come. Sometimes I haven't seen him in 2 or 3 years. And his visits were always a minimum of 30 min. up to 45 min. He would use massage, stretches to relax the back muscles and then do his adjustment. I have never been hurt by him.

When I was living in another city, I tried a number of other chiropractors and it was a terrible experience....5-10 min. crack, crack and come back in 2 days. Everyone wanted to get as many customers they could per hour or day and as many times a week. And people would fall for it. If I didn't know any better, I probably would come back all the time and spend a fortune at the same time.

Find one who takes his time and is not so worried about driving a Mercedes. And remember...your back or neck will tell you when to go for an adjustment.
