How is Chiropractic in U.S.A.?

Question

How much is it well-known?

Who has experience about this?

Answer 1

It is well known. In my personal opinion, they used to be very good but I think now money is getting in to their heads. When you go to a Chiropractor it seems that they want you to make several appointments before looking into your real problem.

Otherwise, I think they are okay except the fact that school of chiropractic is asking too much money $130.000 to graduate.

Answer 2

I was helped out a lot by a chiropractor after a head-on car crash.  My body's skeleton was crooked and severely altered, but as some answers say, some chiropractors are just looking to make a quick dollar, but the REAL ones are into it to help people with pain.

Mine helped me out a lot with the intense pain, and my insurance (automobile) covered all of it ($15,000) during the 3 years I went.

I also went recently- about 3 months ago, and tried Accupuncture.  I think for me the chiropractic adjustments helped more than the accupuncture did.

I don't know anything about schools, but chiropractic services are indeed becoming MORE accepted here in the States, especially with the use of new tables that move and adjust the spine, etc.  It is a big part of the medical community, however, just like doctors, one needs to get a 2nd opinion sometimes, and if you're having a problem with a chiropractor, go someplace else.  Another will have a better set of values and will take better care.

Answer 3

It is seen by many in the medical community as somewhat of a wast of money but it is getting better press these days. Some doctors say there are benefits to chiropractic use. I have never been to one myself but know people who have gone and they seem to like it. I do know that chiropractors do and have been known to do things that cause more harm than good so one needs to find one with a very good reputation.
