At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

In my late twenties I developed a kink or soreness in my neck that became so painful that I couldn't lay down at night and barely slept at all in a reclining chair. My doctor could do nothing that helped and acupuncture was a joke. But when I went to the chiropractor, he did one 'adjustment' with his hands which was an instant fix. No woo. No talk of a return visit. If I experienced anything like that again, a chiropractor would be my first stop.
I saw this post while ago and wanted to ask you did you first try to go to the physical therapist? Massages and physical therapy are often essential parts of injury recovery, but if improperly performed, they absolutely have potential to cause more damage and make a bad situation worse. That's why physical therapists, who are not doctors, still must have taken an accredited four-to-six-year college program and must pass a national physical therapy examination and not to mention stuff like national physical therapy examination and an examination on the laws and regulations governing the practice of physical therapy.
I mean, sure, some of these chiropractors are doing conventional physical therapy but without having taken the training and passed the tests, and they're getting away with it because they're calling it chiropractic.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
