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...
Kinda what I suspected. My Mother in law swears by this guy, but I've always been skeptical on subloxation and chiropractors in general. I'm sure they provide temporary relief to many, but I'm not expecting any long term benefit.
I don't think a slipped disk is my problem (thankfully), but I guess I had a similar experience last week. I was experiencing new pains in the middle of my back, so I had to have him stop with the part where he was having me twist while popping my back. Pretty sure it was just messing with the muscles back there.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
