Finally went to see the bone cruncher doctor!!Been in pain for 6-8 months now! Right hip and leg mostly. He comes highly reccommended by many loggers and truckers. Said he couldn't imagine how has still able to work! Many things out of place. Said i would need 4-5 trips to get it all back! Having a hard time walking today. Go see him again friday.

i've done chiropractors my whole life. 2 yrs ago i said to heck with them ;) finally this summer my wife talked sense in me so, i go to a new "highly" recommended chiro.after i explain what hurts where, first thing he does is takes x-rays
after studying the pictures he comes back in to show me all thats wrong with me(no pictures of my head)

short story going long he wouldn't adjust me until he talks to a rhumatologist . since then i go twice a week, slowly making progress.

moral of my story. get xrays so they know what is or isn't wrong and have the proper plan.

good luck

Yanked on a grandboy last April and horrific pain started in my mid back. Suffered with it for two weeks, on heat pad, pain pills and muscle relaxers. Finally made an appointment with a Chiropractor who just took xrays and sent me home with ice packs, to come back after the weekend. Like Red Oaks, he showed me all that was wrong with me, how dumb it was for me to have two lower back fusions. I let him know both times, chiropractors gave up and told me to find a surgeon. Anyway, after the first adjustment, I had immediate relief from the pain. After a dozen or more adjustments, I have no pain. Praise The Lord!

My chiropractor is the only reason I can keep walking. Herniated a disk in my back 10 years ago heaving on a roof truss when I was building a barn. Alot better now and a lot wiser. As my wife keeps reminding me....big like truck smart like truck!

Many years ago I started going to the chiro due to not being able to lift my arms any higher than the tops of my shoulders. He took X-Rays and said my head wasn't on straight - I told him my dad had been telling me that all my life and he didn't ask for any money. Anyway, it was a nerve problem in my lower back that was causing the problems in my upper back. After a few snap, crackle and pop sessions I'm like new and pain free. Roger

as I understand it there are two types of chiropractors, the twisters and poppers and the ones that just work on your neck bones with little or no pressure. I have never been to the twisters and poppers, but I have heard all the stories about them.
I did finally go to the other kind and it helped me greatly.

LeeB · November 06, 2014, 09:32:51 AM

I've been to both. I prefer the twisting and popping. Went to one that wanted to adjust my hemispheres. Never went back to her again. A little too eclectic for me.

I had never been in my life, but I hurt my upper back /shoulder area and was in great pain, I could not hardly move when I finally conceded to go. I crawled into the office and a couple hours later I could walk out with a straight back. it took a few days of adjustments to get it fixed up perfect.
but I will say when I was in there the first hour or so, I was thinking ..."im glad my friends cant see what this quack is doing to me"

Woodhauler · November 06, 2014, 11:44:47 AM

Gave it a shot,couldn't take the pain! Got one load and came home. >:(

Nerve pain is a bad thing for sure, I will say my chiropractor suggested I get an mri the treatments were not working on this particular issue. Arthritis has a funny way of showing the ugly face. I still go, she uses the actuator rather than the twist and pop. My last bone crusher bout, think he did, in fact damage my left shoulder on one of the adjustments. Good guy, just not for me,

Woodhauler · November 08, 2014, 01:06:24 PM

Might be alittle better, going back to work monday either way....

timberlinetree · November 14, 2014, 05:06:21 AM

Hope you're feeling better! Back pain is bad!

Look into a inversion table. Start out just a bit over 90 degrees then work your way up to no more than 120 degrees.
I was going to the bone popper twice a week until I bought my table. Haven't been since.

X2 on the inversion table. I'd been having back pain on and off until I used a friends inversion table. One time and I've been good for several months.

I went to one one time. Haven't been back to one since. Although I have problems still which you will if you work but all I can say is stretch strech strech. I had a bad accident a few year back. Hit a tree with a snowmobile. Broke a lot including my pelvis in three spots. I stretched as I healed and it works. There's things in your lower back that don't get used unless you do certain things. Just touch the floor everyday. (Standing)
