Chiropractors Scare Me

I am in the middle of a pretty intense workout program. I'm seeing results and the middle cage is starting to tighten up a little. Yesterday afternoon I worked out by arms, shoulders, and abs, and just CRUSHED it during the workout. I mean, I felt really good about it.

However, I woke up this morning with the worst sore neck I have EVER experienced in my life! I would normally just take some Tylenol and call it good, but this feels like nothing I have ever experienced. So I'm thinking about going to a chiropractor. Only problem is, they scare the crap out of me. I am just not comfortable with the idea that another human being, who may be prone to error, is messing around with something as important as my spine. I also don't trust them. I hear too many stories about people going to chiropractors, and then having to go back over and over again, only to spend hundreds of dollars. In my mind, they are the human body equivalent of an auto mechanic.

If any of you have good stories to get my confidence up, please share.

It depends on what type of chiropractor you go to. I have had some that leave me in more pain after I leave, but have had one that were fantastic. make sure you get one that DOES NOT have a moving table, those hurt. If you find one that is good, tell me, I have been looking for a bit.

It has been forever since I have heard anything from/about you. looks like your doing pretty well for yourself. Give me a shout out when you get a second. And I dont like chiropractors either, something seems wrong about them manipulating my bones.

I'd rather go for massage first, but if you do need a chiro, go see Tom Doxey in Ogden (FlyDOC on UOTF)
