Go to physical therapy. Once you start going to a chiropractor, you have to keep going for life for "adjustments". I have a herniated disc in my lower back (L4-L5) and don't go to a chiropractor ever. I went to one once before about 12 years ago, and it didn't help at all. He kept putting some little hammer thing on my back and clicking it. Then he felt my back and said I was just fine. I told him "Thats funny, it still hurts". He said that he couldnt do anymore because my insurance would only pay for 2 weeks. WTF? Shyster! I went to PT, and they taught me how to relieve the pressure on the disc in question, as well as a few exercises to strengthen my back in that region so that disc would slip less. After that, anytime I have had a back problem, I go to a physical therapist.

I'm sure there are some chiropracters out there who AREN't thieves, but it's too hard to detirmine, and most of them will even tell you thatyou have to keep coming back for "periodic adjustments" for the rest of your life. Thats a crock IMO. No offense to you. If you like chiropractors, then keep going to them. I hope it works well for you. It just didn't for me.
