Many people think that chiropractors are quacks and are just out to get money from you, but I had gone to a chiropractor when every other doctor told me that there was nothing they could do.
I was on crutches because the pain was so bad I even had the steroid shot in my hip joint which made the pain worse so I want to a chiropractor out of desperation it took a year but i get off those crutches and even tho I still have the pain from the damage in my lower spine LL5 and S1 at least he got my off the crutches and told me more about my lower spine, nerve and disk ( or lack there of ) than the neurologist did.
