Chiropractic Care was the only way I found to relieve the pain of Sciatica. However, it not only relieved the pain, but eliminated it, and the use of a cane. My medical doctor could not relieve the pain, in spite of muscle relaxers and pain killer medication. His answer was to use a cane and wait for it to go away! After a careful examination and X-rays a Chiropractor made one adjustment that reduced the pain enough for me to sleep and walk without a cane!
I've experience whiplash, and found that message therapy and Chiropractic adjustments allowed me to recover quickly. I can not imagine what it must be like not to have access to a Chiropractor. For most of my life I did not have much of an opinion about them. I wandered about in total ignorance. It was only after the medical establishment let me completely down that I discovered it. I truly believe that both fields offer valuable benefits to us. It is sad that more medical professionals don't make the paradigm shift and embrace the very pragmatic benefits of Chiropractic care. Neither profession can stand alone. Both are needed and beneficial.
I have been under Chiropractic Care since 1987 and have been treated by about 10 different doctors of Chiropractic. I also see a Medical Doctor and specialists like Allergists and Podiatrists.
