The wellness industry is the next Trillion dollar industry surpassing the medical paradigm by light years financially because people are sick and tired of being sick and tired with insurance in the US sky rocketing through the roof making it like a second mortgage.
So, chiropractors are definitely in the right place at the right time, and they are responsible. They do work in conjunction with a medical doctor.
Remember, just as there are bad doctors out there, there are bad chiropractors, too... however, just because one is bad doesn't mean you throw the baby out with the bath water.
More and more they find out through real studies (as opposed to testimonials) that spinal alignment can effect many aspects of health. Gain respect. Your spine is just a bundle of nerves and nerves control everything after all.
I consider the field to art and not science.
I think it will gain. More and more peopel are going green and I see alternative medicine takeing off. I see my chiroprator every week and love it.
I have always been skeptical of the profession, twisting and popping skeletal joints left too much room for error and injury in my mind, HOWEVER--recently I was having a lot of trouble with my lower back to the point I couldn't walk for more than 15-20 minutes without sitting down for the same amount of time (and I love to hike). So a co-worker who has a really bad back was having a lot of pain one night about a month ago and mentioned a chiropractor she goes to and I decided to go. He X-rayed me, found severe scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and some hip degeneration. He gave me some electric stimulation therapy (not shock stuff or TENS-it was different), some very minor stretching exercises and I feel so much better now, I can't believe it. He is quite young-I'd say 34 or so, but knew right away what the problem was and it only took 4 visits for us to fix it to the point of 95% at $25.00 a visit (extra for the X-rays on the first visit). An orthopaedist would have cost me an arm, a leg and painful surgery, I am certain. Bottom line? Good ones and bad ones I'm sure, but the profession is underrated and underused. I BELIEVE.
