Celebrex (via a generic version) was one of the meds I had to take for 30 days, so nothing except Tylenol during that time.

I've heard too many stories about mistakes by chiropractors; you'll never see me in one of their offices. That said, physicians trained in Osteopathic medical schools learn a number of "manipulation" techniques. 30 years ago I injured my back by popping something out of place and had to crawl to the phone to call my spouse to take me to the doctor. As we headed out I commented that it was too bad we didn't have a local doctor and the ER would end up giving muscle relaxants and I'd have to have help with our daughter. So we decided to go to a nearby minor emergency practice to see what they suggested.

It turned out they were DOs and the doctor I saw said he didn't get much opportunity to use the hands on stuff. While lying on my side, he pushed my shoulder one direction and my hip the other, and there was a "pop!" - repeat on the other side, another "pop!" and it felt so much better! My lower back was tender for a while and I sometimes feel a twinge there all of these years later, but so much better than taking drugs till everything gradually shifted back into place.
