I just reread what I typed earlier and to clarify a medical subluxation can be visibly seen on any imaging study, where as a chiropractic subluxation is easily maneuvered back into place and is no where near the degree of a medical subluxation. A spondy would be a type of medical subluxation. I see where I caused the confusion

Also a little outside of topic but not so much. Not all Chiro's are the same. There are varying studies and manipulations, practices and theories used. Kinda like having a public defender vs. Shapiro you have you good and your bad and the good really do have their place in medicine. The good ones are hard to find, and they know their limits and will abide by those. They know they aren't a cure for everything and they know when they can no longer help. I have had both experiences, with the better (one of the best) really helping me along the way. I couldn't breathe or walk after my accident and the doctors wanted to throw pills at me and little by little the DC was able to help me get back to my feet, kept the pain levels tolerable and was instrumental in providing physical therapy as well as massage therapy. He coordinated everything and then also reviewed and advised as to my other treatment. I could go on for hours about how doctors are and what they are motivated by, but you all have been where I am and you know what the good and the bad are like. I appreciate you all One last time tho, I am not being treated by a chiropractor good or bad, those days are beyond me
