I don't recall how many yrs she suffered thinking it was RSD before trying the adjustments.


So If you have a good feeling for the chiro, a few adjustments to give it a try shouldn't hurt, but if nothing at all changes then say "no thank you- it doesn't seem to be doing anything for thing for me."

My chiro adjusts, elbows, wrist, ribs, ankle, foot as well as spine and upper cervical spine (atlas/axis).
I am very discriminatory about application of chiropractic care in unorthodox settings however, I agree with Jomar on this one. If you are boxed into a corner, traditional allopathic approach has nothing to offer you then 6-12 visits to a chiro would not hurt anything. Adverse events are unbelievably rare in chiropractic and is reflected in their extremely low malpractice premiums. I would stop there however, unless you saw improvement and then I would continue only in 4 week blocks of diminishing frequency in care over time. Stranger things have happened and you apparently have nothing to lose by trying...
