I had a pinched nerve in my cervical spine as a kid. Zero insurance, crippling pain, and doctors that basically said the only thing they could do is give me drugs and wait. Chanced it on a chiropractor. One flip of my neck later and I was instantly fine. Hell of an improvement over "you might need surgery if it doesn't resolve in its own." 99.99% of the time, however, chiropractors are swindlers that peddle useless treatments to the healthy.
Chiropractic is like a box of chocolates, MJ.
Your story is typical for those who really benefit from chiropractic, in terms of relief through early intervention. The caveat is: Someone who helps you get well in one visit just lost a patient. Be glad you didn't end up walking into the office of someone someone who thought killing a chicken would fix the subluxation, LOL!
Unlike medicine; there's no standard of care based upon research. Some people really are excellent but they'll always be lumped-in with those talking about garden hoses and so on.
