No he doesn't do the manual "twist the head and pop the neck"! I've had that kind done before with other chiros and I don't like it. He does a really gentle pressure and using the table, sorry I can't remember the name of it.

Thanks Hockey! I go to St. Mikes again in a couple weeks. I got to them through the ABI Network, it is amazing how difficult it is to see specialists in our country!!

I spoke to a great lady at the OBIA, she was helpful although I didn't get as much as you listed above. I am really trying to find a local support group, I just need to talk to people who get it. She did tell me about a great neurosurgeon who we just had my doctor complete the referral to, fingers crossed it doesn't take me a year or two to get in and see him!

Yes, it is so hard to access quality care.

At least you're near a large city. I live in the boonies. What specialists we have are the ones who couldn't cut it anywhere good.

My neurologist, who is older than dirt, rejects completely the notion of neuroplasticity. I suspect the last journal article he bothered to read was chiseled on a stone tablet in hieroglyphics.

I live in a very small town in Ontario, and I laughed at your assessment of your neuro, sounds the same to me as the doctors/neuro I saw in the local area, LOL. I ended up driving 1.5 hrs each way to see a doctor to help me with my concussion. It sure made things difficult when you are tired and have headaches, etc. to drive all that way, but I'm glad I did.

Chiro is a scam. Plain and simple. Spend the $ to see a neuron-opthamologist to rule out any vision related issues that could be worsening your symptoms and use prism/tinted glasses for treatment. There aren't many of them out there, but it is worth flying/driving great distance as you may find significant relief if it is indeed vision related.

Chiro is not a scam. There are many things, mostly basic skeletal, that they can treat very successfully. Unfortunately, many chiros claims they can treat things that they have no ability to treat.

What did the chiro you saw say was wrong with you and how did he try to treat it ?

Did you get a negative benefit or just no benefit ?

There are about a dozen different chiro disciplines.

it is very weird at least to me that I can press on a certain part of my front breastbone and the pain shoots up the back of my neck and into my head and into my forehead. What the heck

The chiro said my alignment was off(isn't that what they all say) and he did this gentle manipulation to put it in back in place. My BS detector was going off the second I walked in the place but I was desperate so was willing to try anything. They got $700 off of me before I did more research on the subject and realize not only is it a scam, it is very dangerous. He also brought out this device that supposedly detected my body energy and lit up if was positive. Some people do say it benefits them but then you look at the people who have died/severe injuries from it and it is not worth the risk.

older than dirt lol that was hysterical. If Nora plasticity doesn't exist then how did I get my typing skills back after completely losing them and other things that have happened. What an idiotI have learned the hard way that you must be very careful with older doctors because they might not know how new medications interact with older ones and they just might not have read anything new with the past 20 years or in one case they just might be senile
