I've come to realize that chiropractic can send me into a flair-up. It doesn't always do it. I'm not sure why sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Wish I knew...

My Chiropractor was the first doctor to listen to me and not treat me like it was all in my head. She is usually the first one I go to to talk over new therapies I want to try out. If she doesn't know what I'm talking about she is always willing to look into new treatment options.

She has also helped me the most with pain relief in my neck & upper back. I may quit going to my medical doctors, but I will never give up my Chiropractor.

My Chiropractor spends more time with me than any other doctor.

My Chiropractor does not prescribe nasty prescription drugs.

My Chiropractor costs me about 75% less than my Primary doctor for each visit.

Hmmmmm......

I have gone to chiropractic for years and years. It does help me w/ energy and w/ pain. I also have RA.

My chiro understands a GREAT deal about CFS and RA and doesn't believe that it's all in my head, etc.

But I have a CFS specialist now .... and it's wonderful. I luv my chiropractor.

I have fibro as well and I can't handle a chiro, sends me into an awful flare!!

Yes,
craniosacral manipulation is beneficial because it works on the extra cellular space channelopathies which are nearly 100% of the time imbalanced. Take it easy though a good Chiropractor should be able to tell you strait away after the initial evaluation that there is distinct Neuro-Immune issues.

I sourced a good Chiropractor by referal, didn't tell him anything until he had done his initial evaluation and he came up with the goods telling me my Immune system was damaged, my liver was damaged and I had muscle and mayofascial sheith issues and it was only then I told him about ME/CFS, Fibro and the host of other stuffand alowed him to proceede with gentle craniosacral manipulation.

Once again its adhock dependant on when I can afford it.

Massage therapy is excellent as well. I have a therapist that is great... she isn't too deep. I tried one that just went way too deep for the muscle pain and it didn't not give me relief... but the one i go to now is wonderful.

In other words, u migh thave to go to two or three before u find a good match.

No way! Chiropractor is the either direct or indirect cause of this disease. I did see three after being hurt by the first. They could not reverse the damage caused by him. Also warned never to let myself my neck being adjusted as could cause severe damage. My right side of back from 1991 stills pops out of place when trying to exercise just moving legs on bed mildly back and forth.

Just my opinion from my experience. I know not all are like that but I can't take any chances.

I have a bias against chiropractors. I hurt my back in 1994 and went to a chiropractor. He took an x-ray and said there was no disc involvement. He would put the heel of his hands on the spot where the pain was and pushed repeatedly.

After a few sessions, my leg went numb. I went to a walk-in clinic and had an MRI. I had a ruptured disc and pieces of it had broken off and were stuck in nerves. That's what caused my leg to go numb.

The neurologist said she had never seen anything like that. I mentioned a chiropractor and she nodded. Now it made sense.

Ever since I won't go to a chiropractor. My husband goes to one and always gets relief. I have too many problems with my back, I can't afford to even try a chiropractor for anything else.
