Have you ever been to a chiropractor, if so was your experience pleasant?

I've been a few times in my life, and not always to the same chiropractor. The experiences weren't bad and were sometimes very. helpful.

The best one was a guy named Dr. Krauss in southern California who was a doctor of chiropractic, as well as Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. He was freaking brilliant and helped me a lot with a kidney stone and severe, agonizing muscle spasms under my right shoulder blade. I had to see him quite a few times in the 1990s. He helped me tremendously.

In the 2010s, I got rear ended in my car at work and hurt my neck. That chiropractor helped but also had a massage therapist who helped a lot.

It's not like I see chiropractors for nothing. I haven't had need to see them very many times in my life. In fact, Dr. Krauss was the first. But I have gotten adjustments a few times by different chiropractors that I think were beneficial.

My wife tends to like going to a chiropractor fairly regularly. She also finds acupuncture helpful.

It seems like people with some sort of injury really wants to go to chiropractors, but I totally get it. Sorry you went through all of that though, seems like your experiences were mostly positive though.

[ArrowheadSW]

Very successful. I went in with a locked up back and neck and unable to twist my body or look fully to the left or right. After some adjustments, during which my back and neck sounded like it was popping and unzipping, I walked out fairly normal. I still go on occasion just to keep things in line.

[Kayla45]

That’s great, glad to hear it.

I guess I’ve been kinda on the verge of going myself, just trying to get other people’s opinions and perspectives.

[Paige90]

I went two times as I was in an auto accident and it helped a lot

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes, quite a few times. I'm going back again in a couple days.
I've never had a bad experience at one except for this one guy that used all kinds of wild machines on me and then charged me over $300 for just that one visit! The guy I go to doesn't use any of that, I get MUCH BETTER results, it only takes 10 to 20 minutes and he only charges $35.00.

[AviatorTom]

Yes, I went to a couple sessions with a chiropractor, several years ago. He readjusted my spine and got rid of some back pain. He tried to upsell me onto a regimen of foods and herbs, which I declined.

[Sonorous]

Yeah & yeah. I was a kid though so I don't even really know what they were doing or if it was working. But they had free candy so I was always down to go.

[Bricealan]

@Kayla45 Once and never again. The stupid ass snapped my neck for absolutely no reason, and my neck hurt for a month afterward.

I go to a Masseuse

[Kayla45]

Sorry that happened to you

[DryGermanGuy]

No, but I went several times to a physical therapist to work on a longterm betterment instead of a weird bone cracker show.

[Anonymous]

No. I've heard enough questionable things about chiropractors that I've never considered it for very long.

[dinojames22]

I have not. Seems like voodoo with a risk of more injuries than benefits

[slatyb]

I would never. It's quack medicine.

[seeyounexttuesday]

I'd never go. They're quacks.

[Panthero80]

I never have.
