Back Pain: Update

[Black Landlord]

The potential to cause a stroke with cervical manipulation is a real one that all chiropractors are aware of.

FYI its called "practicing medicine". It hasn't been perfected yet.

[quote richorlin]If you have a herniated disk, I would suggest an MRI and a visit to a neurosurgeon. Manipulation by a chiro is NOT going to repair a herniated disk and might even aggravate it further. The relief you are feeling now may be short-lived.
how do you define short lived?...when i had sciatica back in 1992, my chiro treatments allowed me to go pain free for over 14 years before it flared up again and this is without any sort of pain medication..had i known about the alexander techniques back then i'd probably still be pain free to this day...
