Sam's Stance on Chiropractors

Sam, my husband has been suffering from back pain. I heard that one option for him might be to go to a chiropractor. What is your opinion on chiropractic care and if it works? —Diane

I think like any profession, when it comes to chiropractors, there are good ones, and there are bad ones. I actually bounced this question off several clients this week, many of whom have received chiropractic care in the past. They agree that a good chiropractor (much like a good doctor or trainer) should have not only a basic knowledge of body mechanics, but also an "innate sense" of how the body works and what's going on.

Personally, I have found less benefit through chiropractic care and greater benefit through acupuncture and massage. If you are looking for a massage therapist or acupuncturist in the Los Angeles Area, send me an e-mail and I'd be happy to refer you.
