Of course I think my real issue is muscle and tendon related, not spinal. Even though the chiro did say I have an arrow straight neck and some impingements.
I'm probably not the best example to answer, but here goes. Some people that I know just absolutely swear by them. Personally, I had a negative outcome, after my visit to a chiropractor.
When I went to see a chiro, I was ignorant of the fact that I actually already had a herniated disc. The adjustments did provide some relief, but I went about my business, thinking all was well. When the second disc went, I was screwed, MRI showed that I had not one, but two herniated discs. Family Dr. advised me to never go to chiro again.
Additionally, at least two physical therapists explained to me that when a chiro makes adjustments, certain body chemicals are released, giving the temporary relief. That is how chiro is a never ending process...
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
