How do I feel about Chiropractors...

Well Im going to channel Italy for this answer. I have a mixed opinion about chiropractic care. Obviously being a Physical Therapist (which is a PROFESSION by the way - not a random group of treatments...NOT just exercising a person) I think and have seen quality chiropractics help people quite a bit and have worked in conjunction with several. Ive also personally seen and heard horror stories about discal damage and fractures caused by adjustments. IMO you are taking quite a bit of risk when you place you body in the hands of a 'non-quality' Chiro. Much more risk than standard care provided by a physical therapist. Here is a nice site which runs down reason NOT to become a chiropractor, with a link to US news and world report labeling chiropractor as 'the most overrated career'. If your going to see a chiropractor, be wary of being put on a long term plan (unnecessary), and research them beforehand. If your ever uncomfortable with a treatment (it hurts; im getting worse-not better) SPEAK UP or change healthcare professionals. That goes for Physical therapy care as well. ;)
