kimmy, there are good and bad chiro's like there are good and bad dr's.

talking to the chiro and getting a non spinal or cervical adjustment first is a good idea. you may have an ankle or a knee that is out of wack or an elbow. it will give you a "taste" of how the dr treats and their bed side manner. also help aliviate any fears.

boy howdy with my back problems i have to be super careful. i did tons of research. we had a clinic at he club, so having a personal relationship helped, but i still have never had any adjustments near my injury.

the zero curve....it's getting to be a major issue with computer use. it's seen in young kids now too.

i haven't read the whole thread...so i might be giving you advice you have already gotten.

but think of the releif like when a joint you have feels stuck..like an ankle or elbow and it "pops'. the ahhh feeling. it can be just like that.
