Chiropractors and Black Magic?

Today was my first visit to a chiropractor and I left feeling disappointed and skeptical. Why, you ask? Because he didn't DO anything to me except take a few xrays of my low back region and do some other black magic to check my electrical force or nervous system or some such thing.

I told him what I thought my problem was and all he could say was something like, "Are you in the medical profession because I don't normally have patients who use that kind of terminology."

Next appointment is Wednesday but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I love my chiro, but not all are good. I think if I had a first chiro appt like the one you are describing I would be a skeptic too. I am inclined to say "find one recommended by other athletes, or more specifically runners, that specializes in treating sports related injuries". Even if this is not really a sports related injury, I have found in my past experiences that those that focus on athletes tend to be a bit more holistic, or homeopathic, in their approach to chiropractic. I don't like the 'twist ya, pop ya, thanks for stopping in' type of chiro. I stay away from those.
