OMG!
I find myself absolutely on the "other" side right now. I've often had problems accepting the idea that the only medical authorities are the ones the AMA approves of. There is a place for alternative medicine, including chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy, herbology, etc. Why should everyone be shackled to the one-size-fits-all morbid pathology that pervades traditional Western medicine?
I prefer my chiropractor for a lot of reasons. He doesn't immediately resort to cutting or heavy-duty drugs. I personally practice herbal medicine, for myself and my livestock. Somehow, I doubt my animals feel better because they have convinced themselves of the efficacy of an herbal treatment.
i hear ya.....i recently had a pretty sore shoulder at the arm socket.....i thought maybe i ripped something working....it was hurting pretty good for a week.....went to the Chiro just for the regular adjustment.....he told me before i was able to say what is hurting....."did you know your Collarbone is slightly out?".....and he grabbed my arm and pressed on the Collarbone and the pain was almost nothing.....im sure it was all in my head.....the bone clicking into place.....im sure the Orthopedic guy would have wanted to operate to put the bone back in place....
