Several years ago, I had a pain in my neck that had just about incapacitated me. I kept going to my regular MD and he kept prescribing pain pills. I kept telling him I didn't want to cover up the problem. I wanted to resolve it. Finally, a friend at work suggested her chiropractor. I was ready to try anything. I went. He fixed the problem. Even better. I felt better over all than I had in quite some time. I asked him how often I should come back. He told me to return only if I needed to. That my body would let me know. I know there are some out there who claim to cure just about anything that ails you, so it's a good idea to get a good referral. Also to know that MDs as a rule, are strongly prejudiced against chiropractic. Now when it comes to medical doctors, I could really tell some scary stories from personal experience.
