I've tried chiropractic but it's done nothing more than leave me with a headache. However, I know many people who get relief from adjustments instead of looking for just the right drug to correct the problem. Whatever works.
Sure,
You can give people sugar pills and all sorts of aches and pains will magically go away ;)
It's quite common to actually get headaches for the first several visits as your spine becomes adjusted to a different alignment. Depending on your need, you can eventually taper back to maintenance visits. The money I have saved in not buying cases of Motrin and the relief from alternating numbness and pain has easily paid for my Chiropractic health care. Just be sure to find a reputable Chiropractor who will examine you and your xrays BEFORE determining if he/she can treat you. As with ANY profession, there are always those who should not be in business.

I've used them many times over the years. Not often, but when you need one there's nothing better. I'm not saying that whatever it is that's "out of place" wouldn't get better over time either on it's own or with pills from an MD, but sometimes I've hurt so badly I didn't want to wait that long. Thumbs up from me!
