So last week, my arm started to hurt, it jst got worse and worse until it was so terrible i couldnt sleep. FINALLY i got to the chiropractor and he popped my neck in place and it feels much better, but was still horrible. I actually just got my step dad, who is a licensed muscle relaxer, or something like that, well he has meat hooks for hands and worked my muscles back and I think Ill finally be able to sleep tonight.
Figured id share my misery haha, goin back to the chiropractor on friday

Been there, done that, avoided surgery for 30+ years. Unless someone has experienced this kind of pain, it is hard to describe.

Man. chiropractic made a world of difference in my life. I had scoliosis anyway, but injured my back carrying a crate of ammo up a mountain in the Army and it never got better. Eventually It would hurt so bad I would literally be forced to lay on the floor. Finally I scratched up some money and did chiropractic for 6 months. I was a new man. Not only did the adjustments help, but he taught me pain management techniques and I was 100% better!

So it actually works? I always thought of chiropractors as frauds and fake doctors.

Bone crushers can't help me. Arthritis in my back. I just take the pills and wander around in a fog. LOL!

I would be wary of any chiropractor that claims to be able to use chiro to cure all manner of illnesses, but there are good ones who know what they are doing when it comes to the spine and nerve related issues. While I was in school, I actually embalmed cadavers for a chiropractic college so they do study a healthy dose of anatomy and physiology.
