at 25 I went into a chiropractor for the first time after a mild chronic back pain was amplified to severe when i took a hard hit in a mosh pit. x-rays showed what appeared to be a bulged disc and 2 pinched nerves from two vertebrae going in opposite directions. went in after giving it a week to "see if my body would straighten it out" i walked in with my mom and a cane hunched over in pain. came out standing straight and at least half reduction in pain. over the course of maybe 4 more visits i was back to new again.

yeah it was amazing. what a lot of people dont also understand is income it cost me 35$ a visit without insurance i dont think i could have even seen a GP for what my total bill was. and for what? the GP would have just given me a bunch of pills anyway, fuck that.

also with hands on medicine like Chiropractor and TCM stuff it will vary greatly to the doctor and skill involved. some other buffoons were mentioning that TCM and acupuncture is quackery...

a local taichi master and TCM master who learned in china took a guy that had been paralyzed from the neck down and had run out of options from western medicine and helped the man get to the point where he could use the restroom himself and take care of most of his needs and freeing up his upper body movement.

i dont think results like this are typical at all but still quite amazing.
