Regarding the reply to my posting of
my son's experience with the chiropractor.

I am sorry if you misunderstood the intent
of my posting.  I did not mean to say that
all chiropractor services are "no good"....
I, myself, have had treatments from a
chiropractor as a young child..also a back
problem that my husband occasionally had
was cleared up several times by a chiropractor...
BUT within a reasonable amount of time or
treatments.

The thing is...do not assume that every pain
in the back is going to be cleared up with
a visit or series of treatments from a
chiropractor.  See a good orthopedic man
if your problem is not cleared up within
a reasonable amount of time.  As Craig
Werner stated in his posting, not every
pain the back is an indication of back
trouble...it could be caused by something
"up front" as was in my son's case.

I know very well that chiropractors are
well trained...working on cadavres (sp?)
etc....but evidently the chiropractor
that worked on my son did not "spot"
the true source of his trouble even
though several exrays were taken, etc.

Well, we've learned to take each day as
it comes and thank God that my son is
not in a complete state of despair (being
only 32 years old this coming September.)

I only posted the facts of my son's
experience as a precautionary measure
so that someone else does not "assume"
that chiropractors can solve all back
problems.

Sorry if I offended anyone on the net
with my posting.

God bless you all this beautiful
St. Patrick's Day!

Marge
