I know so many people to go to a chiropractor on a weekly basis and either pay out of pocket or have benefits cover it BUT I seen articles or posts pop up that refer to it as junk junk medicine and on the same level as a holistic practitioner???

I have mild Scoliosis (My spine is not straight) sometimes I get a sore neck and have been to Drs but they just say there is nothing i can do but stretch. (or they can give me a shot to take away the pain).
The only relief I have found is going to a chiropractor, usually after about 4 or 5 sessions the pain is gone and I am normal till it hits again (avg about every 3-5 years.) I am sure some if it IS just stretching, but when I do everything I can think of to work on it myself for weeks sometimes, and it does not go away, yet I go to the Chiropractor and it is gone in a couple sessions, (A couple more to “lock it in”) you gotta think there is more then snake oil there. I have taken before and after pics of my spine and hips that show them to be straighter (taken at home and away from any influence or manipulation of the Chiropractor)
Yes I do think those people seeing one regularly for years are addicted to it, I think long term it is not good for your bones, or at best just does what a good excersize regime could do. but to solve an immediate need, it does work.
