Guest guest Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I went to a chiroprator for yrs. The trick is to find one that specalizes in sports chiropractic and you need to go totally limb and relax. any resistance will cause problems. From: Maddy Sparks <emailittomadeline@...> Subject: the chiro spinal problems Date: Friday, October 15, 2010, 11:31 PM Â At the time a chiro really hurt me too, i would enter the practice crouched over and leave in worse condition. The chiro would insist on me doing push up like back curves, leaving my hips on the bed and raising myself on my arms. She did that thing where my shoulders lay flat and she twist my hips cracking my back, ouch. One word sums up that professional. Idiot! In summary the best i found was a sports injury masseur, initially i was impressed by her observation and analysis prior to my surgery, i simply stated i had a bad back, within a matter of a minute she concluded major swelling at L3,4,5 and treat me accordingly. At present my best form of treatment is my body inverter, i hang by my feet for about 10 minutes when i can removing the load from my discs works a treat. I took a photo one day (camera inverted also) whilst up side down and i swear i look ten years younger LOL.

This is the first time I have had anyone say they were injured by a chiropractor. I too was injured by one in 1973. He was like my last chance I was in so much pain I thought why not he can't make it any worse. Boy was I ever wrong. I had a disc out L-5 S-1 and he pushed my knees up into my chest and pulled my legs down as hard as he could. When doing this procedure he ruptured the disc. I left in a wheel chair and stayed there until I had surgery 4 months later. This is what my doctor said probably happened to me. I just know it was the worse pain of my life and I had 3 baby girls all under 4 with a newborn. It was a very difficult time. But we have to beware of people who swear they can help us with manipulation some can but some can't. Janice Re: Sam's back injury update! > > > > I miss motorcycle riding too.
