Chiropractors

[Guest guest]

I know this is probably a subject that probably has been discussed already. I

did a quick search on the message board but didn't find anything that really

answered my question.

I know there is controversy with chiro & ACM but I love my chiro :/ after my

first whiplash injury (2004) I was in pt for 2 months, 3 times a week with no

relief. When they started talking cortisone injections I said heck no and sought

a chiro even though I had thought they were just quacks before this. In just 1

week I was finally rid of they horrible headache and pain that was plagueing me

on a daily basis. I finally got to a monthly maintenance and felt pretty normal.

So then came the 2nd whiplash injury (2007) I didn't bother with pt, I went

straight back to more frequent adjustments only this time my maintenance was

every 2 weeks & I would have good weeks and bad. Then in 2008 I feel hard on my

shoulder while I was walking my dogs (lost my balance & their momentum was to

fast for me to catch myself). Got a couple extra adjustments but it's pretty

much been downhill since then. I still feel like I do benefit from my

adjustments but have noticed the last 6 months maybe that my neck adjustments

don't always feel to great afterwards and I'm not getting the kind of relief in

that area as I once did.

At first Dr. H said no more neck adjustments, partly because he wanted to see if

a cervical collar would help. But at my last visit he said lower back was fine

but just no cracking of the neck. He then gave me the name of a chiro who does

adjustments that are very gentle that some ACM patients have relief with.

I've kept my chiro informed of my current situation but he disagrees with the

cracking of my neck. I go see him tomorrow for my lower adjustments & to see if

he'll consult with this other chiro so maybe he can do these special

adjustments.

Does anyone else see a chiro? Or heard of these special adjustments for ACM?
