I am a retired nurse and never thought I would go to one! I have bursitis in my hip and meds would only relieve sometimes. My chiorpractor goes to our church and I thought I would try. He knew how I felt about alternitive medicine. He xrayed and found the problem. Had several treatments and was so much better with heat and adjustment. Unlike some of them, he said at one time, I think you are in good shape and I will see you when you need. That has been 3 years ago and I do go back when I have a problem. Or if I am traveling in the car or plane. His charges are very reasonable and Medicare and secondary ins. paid most of the expensive. Give it a try and good luck!
