I love my chiropractor. I have a repetitive stress injury caused by computer usage -- unfortunate, since I'm a programmer that needs to use the computer all day! My chiropractor has gotten me to the point where I can use the computer with minimal amount of pain, which is such a relief. Yes, it requires regular appointments (which can't be helped, because I keep re-hurting my shoulder/wrist as I work), but he's doing his best to help me find ways to keep them as minimal as possible (stretching exercises, for example).
I also hurt my ankle badly 6 weeks ago. Despite walking around in a big Frankenstein boot for weeks, it just wasn't getting any better. The orthopedist said it wasn't a fracture, and didn't have much advice other than to keep the boot on and to ice it occasionally. My chiropractor, on the other hand, got it feeling significantly better after just one treatment. I was glad to get that boot off!!
