Don't go to a chiropractor!! They aren't recognized by any medical community, they are legitimately doing more harm to you than good, and are considered a dangerous sudo science.
You'll probably argue something about how they help. But it's placebo.
Ask any orthopedist or physical therapist and they will tell you that chiropractory works as a quick release of "relief" which creates the illusion of healing. But what it actually does is create an addiction within your muscles for that quick release. Leading your body to continue to contort itself to allow for that to happen.
It's much harder. But physical therapy for that sort of pain will do so much more for long term health.
Bro, there is literally four year chiropractic schools and yes, chiropractic, massage therapy, and physical therapy goes hand in hand. Now I would say don’t go to any chiropractor willing to adjust WITHOUT seeing an xray. That’s a permanent accident waiting to happen, and shows they aren’t concerned about there own liability or the patient. But if the chiropractor demands an X-ray before working on you, or even better has an x-ray tech on site, then they are usually a much more reliable source.
That being said, there is a joke in the medical community, that is synonymous with all medical professionals. “What do you call a med student that graduated in the bottom half of their graduating class? Doctor.”
The point of the joke being not all medical practitioners are cut from the same cloth, so always ALWAYS get a second opinion.
And? The first attempts to use anesthesia on infants during surgery was what 1987 because doctors believed infants couldn’t feel pain. Hell it was still a theoretical practice until like 1999.
The point is all medical practice starts off as a theoretical crock of shit. But thankfully as humans and science develops we learn and grow (usually) as a society.
