Default Don't underestimate the chiropractor

I think it depends on the chiropractor. Chiropractors do a lot more than the basic bone-crunching adjustment. They can help with trigger points, do some very gentle manipulations (even with fusions and implants in place) mind you - VERY gentle. Some are trained to do energy work, accupressure, even cranial-sacral work. I've had the cranial-sacral work done for migraines, and once for when I had a spinal fluid leak. They lay their hands on your lower spine, very gently, and gradually match your body rhythms. Then they gently travel up your spine, and oh so gently make very small movements to bring things back in to balance. It's an incredible help, and you wouldn't even know anything was adjusted other than the headaches, etc melt away. Ask your chiropractor what all they can offer you - after SCS, definitely can't do a regular adjustment. But the more minor energy work, that can make huge changes! You never know what each one is trained to do. Hope this helps - ElizaJane
