It's always been some weird fantasy of mine to go to a chiropractor and have a professional crack my back or whatever for once. I always enjoyed cracking my back, neck, knuckles, toes and knees so why not give this a shot?
Has anyone gone to one before or are their methods the same if I continue to do it myself? __________________________________________________

I worked for one for 5 months. I let him crack my neck and it has not been the same since, and not in a good way.

Yup, the risk for damage is almost the same wether a "professional" does it or you do it yourself. But if you're a placebo-loving masochist, by all means, go ahead, visit a chiropractor 
Well, they are good in case of sprains or other wear-or-tear related ailments, but that's the only things they're good for. Don't hope for anything medically significant unless your shoulder is out of its socket or you're twisted like a pretzel from a fall on the stairs or somesuch, but you somehow didnt' manage to break any bones yet

I spent $1700 on MRIs and freaking specialists to try and figure out my knee... no go.
I go to the chiropractor, $38 and he finds the problem in 20 mins and now I'm rehabbing it and feeling better already

heh, see edit
P.S. I only have a problem with those chiropractors that somehow promote "prophilactic" treatments, or any treatments whatsoever for stuff NOT directly (purely mechanically) related to bone/ligament/muscle positions or such. If you see one that goes "I'll help you lose weight" or "your liver is squeezed and that's why you're tired", GTFO.

Make sure you go to a licenced one though, unlike this guy.

I question how often that actually happens. And I thought it only usually happened after massages?

I used to go out with one and she was really dirty. So, in short, yes they are.

Well not to far off. Philosophically the guy was good, he was not one to adjust everyone for everything. He heavily believed in rehabilitation, hence my employment. That being said just keep in mind that unless you are 100% comfortable with the idea of someone cracking your neck or back with the possibility of causing a disk to rupture, by all means go ahead, it can help some people.
Chiropractors should be used with caution and research. As for your knee, do you mind if I ask what he diagnosed you with that did not show up on an MRI?

You do not want a chiropractor relocating your shoulder.

I wouldn't trust anyone that touts a glorified massage as serious treatment for problems.

My father swears by them. He keeps extolling their virtues to anyone who cares to listen, and the miracles they performed on a couple of physical mishaps he's had. I think one of them was actually blind, he worked his magic guiding himself solely by touch.
I should be going to one myself, after a silly accident I had a year ago where I hurt my shoulder, but I haven't for no other good reason that I'm a procrastinating bastard and the one I was referred to is on the other side of the city. So I just keep saying "Maħana".
In the meantime, I've figured that as long as I do exercises every day (I bought a set of weights, I'm too asocial for gyms), my shoulder doesn't hurt. But if I don't exercise, then it starts to act up and I'll be in pain. So that acts as motivator.

My wife went to one once because she was having major back pain problems, and he fixed them all in one visit. I was highly impressed. 
Then she did this special kind of back cracking technique she picked up from the guy and I have to say, for a week my back felt better than it had ever felt.
Upon reading this post, this sounds hilarious like the "treatment" the chiropractor gave my wife was significantly different than advertized.  ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.83 (Updated 7/3) |

For some reason I was thinking MRE's when I read that and I'm sitting here trying to figure out what a garage full of ready to make meals is gonna do for a knee.

No-one is cracking my neck nor giving me a shave with a straight razor, it's just the way I am.

Edited by: Kalahari Wayrest on 07/08/2008 23:16:53 Chiropractors are practioners of voodoo and dark magicks.
I went a lot as a kid, as my mum often had a bad back - he taught me some things (albeit a bit irresponsibly) which I can't remember years later but basically, you touch a part of the body in a certain way and they can't move it at all until you reverse it...I think it was something to do with hands or fingers. Wish I could remember, I wanna go paralyze some ppls...
Anyway, she always swore by them which is why she paid the extortionate fees  __________________________ Indulge Me Consider Yourself Indulged - Immy ♥ Wow immy scored - Xorus

You could make a bandage out of the bag to wrap around the knee
