I thought I would share this since I was always against going. My wife finally talked me into going to a chiropractor. I have been going for a couple months now and it really has changed my life. I started with x-rays and the guy telling me what a mess I am. High school football paying me back 25 years later. I am going 3 times a week, each adjustment only takes 5 minutes. I will eventually be going once every other week. I have a new spring in my step. More important is the impact it has had on my hunting. I used to be in pain after a short sit in a tree stand. This year I have been able to sit as long as I want with no discomfort and I have also walked many miles with all the gear. No pain the day on the hunt or the next. I have bought in to going the rest of my life to maintain a proper alignment. If you guys are constantly in pain give it a shot, I wish I went years ago.

I have been going for about two years. It helped a lot with back pain. I am getting some arthritis and getting less mobile.
It still helps and I go every other week and do daily exercises.

My chiro is a magician. He has helped so much that my kids say I have a man crush on him.
A good chiro will give you exercises to do that will help you and decrease your need for him.

I have a list of exercises and wedges to lay on for 20 minutes a day. His goal is to get you to once every other week. His sales pitch is if he fixes you, you have to keep coming. Why would you want to go back to the way you were.

Like anything else there are good and bad. I've been going to Chiropractors for 30+ years. I've been to several, some keep wanting you back all the time others not. My current one is great, when I feel something out of place I go in and he adjust usually he get it in one treatment. They sure beat the hell out of regular doctors who did me no good and just kept pushing pain pills.

I never understood what they did until Dr. Barry moved in with his crazy gadgets and yearning to palpate. I blame all those that have gone to a chiropractor before and done a piss poor job of explaining the witch craftery.
I got to shoot the shit with Dr. B on a daily basis for 9 months. That dude taught me a lot about how the body works, why it doesn't, and how many meds are not a cure or even a treatment, they're a tradeoff.

I have used them off and on for 30 years. I had hurt my back lifting when I was about 20, and it dragged on for a long time. My mom had been in a car accident and had been going to a chiro for help and she talked me into going. What a great choice.
stiff neck causing headaches. Miraculous. After a few treatments it can feel so different as range of motion improves with each visit.
Some time ago, I had a very hard time driving any distance without shooting pain down one of my legs. Chiro fixed that.
I have never had any large issues, but some of the issues that can plague a guy, can be fixed without question.
I cant recall ever leaving an office saying that was awful.

Still ain't going 😁. Know of too many people getting permanent damage by chiro's who don't know what they're doing or what the real problem is.

Understood. I honestly have never heard of anyone getting injured. Probably happens.

For you golfers. I got a couple rounds in after I started treatment and I added 20 yards to my drive. My range of motion has increased significantly.

Just as long as the chiropractor doesn’t think he can cure asthma or diabetes and sticks in his lane. Also, my first indicator that a chiropractor is not my type is dream catchers.
If I walk in and see a dream catcher anywhere in the office I leave.
