Thinking about seeing a Chiropractor

Hey guys I know that quite a few people on the huddle have had experiences with them and I was wondering who you would recommend. I know there are some bad rumors about chiropractors and I don't want to see someone shady. I've been having some middle-lower back stiffness/pain for a while.

Thanks

I had an issue that a chiro specifically could help me on...and it worked.

Problem was they "preauthorized me" for my insurance, I prepaid the rest - then after it was all over they gave me some crap about a "wrong insurance code" and want almost 500 more bucks from me so beware.

I've gone to the chiro for 20 years off and on. Mine is a genuinely nice guy and they work with my insurance and when my insurance visits are over he lets me keep coming and pay the same price... and doesn't push me to come more than I want to.

I know that just like every other profession there are con artists but I've never had a bad experience.

As everybody has said already, chiropractors are a means of relief, not fixing.

I would try a lot of stretching and some motrin before I went to a chiro, though. I know people who got completely screwed both money wise and with bad practice. I had back pain for about a year, and I just stretched and did a lot of core strengthening exercises. Worked wonders and now my back doesn't hurt unless I stand for hours on end without any rest.

My chiropractor has worked wonders on my back/shoulder problems that I've had on and off for years. I don't go on a regular basis, though I'm convinced that I probably would be better off doing that. I go when it gets really bad, and he works it out great ... sometimes with the help of the massage therapist. When I got what turned out to be a pinched nerve in my neck/spine (which we didn't know until later), they did relieve a lot of the pain, but didn't "cure" it. Went to the orthopedist, who did the MRI to confirm, put me in PT and traction. Now, it's nearly gone ("cured"). I think in combo, the chiro and ortho were what I needed.

Chiro's are like acupuncture and reflexology. If they help you thats great but they should not be substituted for actual medical care. There are PCP's out there that work with and refer chiro's...shopping for the right PCP is important.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
