Hi Adrienne,

It's great to see so many have come over from the dark side.

From my and my wife's experience, I'd almost recommend a witch doctor dance around you with a dead chicken than send you to a chiropractor. According to several of our orthos, our conditions were worsened by the visits to the chiropractor(s).

My experience caused more pain and ultimately led to damaging the disc further as evidenced by both Xrays and MRI before and after treatment.

My wife's cervical rupture was worsened immediately after one treatment.

There has been a study done at the University of Illinois showing evidence of damage to adjacent discs when nothing is done to correct a degenerated disc.

Good luck,

Bob
