I have to disagree with the negative publicity on the chiro angle. It's all about finding a good Dr., medical or otherwise.
I had back problems years ago. Muscle relaxers and pain meds helped two times, but the third time nothing worked. My Dr. told me to get an MRI and prepare for surgery. So I took some advice and went to a chiropractor.
That was in 1989, and I've been great sisnce. Even got up to 490 on squats.
The caveat: anyone can be lousy and many try to get you in for months of treatment. I'd try to find someone that is a referal from someone else. I've moved two times since and both times was able to find someone good based on advice from my first chiro. He said to ask what techiques they use and when one say Gunstead, go to them. Just don't tell them what you're looking for up front.
You'll probably go 3 times a week for a few weeks and then drop off to two times for a few more, to once, to once a month. I still go in every 1-2 months. I see it like keeping the front end in line on my car.
