I must say that Leesa is very correct. Don't go to a chiropractor at all! Back issues can be made much worse, even though the attending may state other wise. Get clearence from a neruologist before ever doing any more. I made the same mistake, and it made me ever so much worse.
Get a good consult with a neurologist, and then another opinion. You do have some issues that need to be addressed. Acue puncture is something you can try, without doing more harm. I am sorry you are going though this. Many of us here have back issues, myself included. I hope you can find some resolution, to make your life more bearable. ginnie
