I didn't believe in chiropractors. Then I got engaged to one. She took away all my orthopedic aches and pains - so now I'm a believer.
There are chiropractors, and then there are chiropractors. Some go for high-volume practices and promise all sorts of wonderful things - but they spend five or ten minutes with you and charge you what my wife charges for an hour.

When my wife Christina gives me a treatment, she goes over every muscle and joint, easing things back into place and releasing the tension in any muscles that are under stress. She was a massage therapist before she went to chiropractic school, so she has blended the best of both fields. Also, she does not believe in the quick, jerky moves that some chiropractors use for adjustments - she prefers to do things gently.

If you can find a chiropractor who cares about you and is willing to take time to work on you, you'll feel wonderful. Mark, if your significant other recommends the chiropractor, I'd think that's a pretty good recommendation.
