I have been to 2 different chiros and both are very good & cautious , none of the yanking or scary jerking.. Both used additional complementary modalities as well as adjusting.
I have found out some of my relatives go to chiros also for various issues.
All mentioned positive benefits.

I really think the chance of Vertebral Artery Dissection is extremely rare, but the anti chiro crowds and many MDs seem to use that very slight risk as a major scare tactic..

I truly think there is still a lot of bias against chiropractic by many MDs , they would rather give you a RX or maybe some PT instead of refer you to a DC..
But pills cover up the pain, and PT takes longer to see results..

Of course finding a chiro with very good technique and skills is important, just as finding a good dr or PT person..

But if you are nervous and tense, they should not do any adjusting until you have relaxed..
Often you can have an evaluation/ 1st appt, you could request no adjusting, just the evaluation.
Then if, or when you feel ready to move forward with any treatment. Then make that appt.


Usually a really good PT can do evals and they will try to pinpoint where the pain is coming from.
Perhaps a new batch of X rays will show something?
