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.
Chiropractor schools are, as I said, not recognized by the medical community. Chiropractors are not considered doctors. And their degrees are completely inapplicable to any real job in the medical field.
It does not go hand in hand. It is notoriously dangerous.
There’s really no point trying to convince them. Chiro is one of the biggest scams because it has managed to gain a level of legitimacy through concerted grifting.
Everyone in the medical field knows it’s bogus. And when you look into the history of the “profession” it’s startling and grim. It’s one of the last refugia of the snake oil salesmen.
But you’re not going to convince someone who has already blown a fat wad on chiro, so don’t bother. Just let them get their neck cracked until they receive a Darwin Award.
Fair fair. But also, getting informed by other people online, causing me to see a doctor, and learn directly how bad it was, is the reason I was able to heal. And I want the same for other people. If I can I still even an ounce of doubt, maybe it helps eventually.
