Yes I did. It was shit and did no good whatsoever. Find a decent physio.

I did,and found them all to be unqualified bullshitters with dubious training and meaningless procedures but,surprisingly elevated half-hourly rates which bore no relation to the so-called service they pretend to offer. I felt scammed by these rubbish quacksters.
Then I discovered the Back Pain clinic on New Church Road and my problem was solved in one session.

I found homeopathic therapies worked better and were better regulated.

A friend who was disappointed with various others and similar professionals, is really impressed with Dr.Westergaard of The Clinic, Dyke Road Avenue on 560888.

A couple of times, to manage and maintain a healthy skellington.
My back got sorted out, then I stopped when everything felt good.
There's a point where it's unhealthy to keep having your back moulded and cracked into place - as I reckon it eventually trains your bones to have the movement to go out of position easier.
Swimming is very good for the skeletal-muscular relationship, and a bit of exercise at the gym.
Too much pumping iron, running and jogging are in my opinion, ultimately negative for the body.
Every avid jogger and runner I know has had problems with knees, leg muscles, bones or veins.

I used a chiroprator once but he was just shit. However I was recommended an osteopath who was excellent. It turned out to be the best £300 I have ever spent.These guys will fix or try to fix any problems with the bones and joints. Some take it further, it just depends on the practitioner.

Ultimately I think you are right and I would add, each individual has his or her sustainable limit of regular impact on the skeleton.

Had a trapped nerve in my neck and tried every cure known to man as it was excruciatingly painful. The chiropractor was a very expensive option and one I put off but it did the trick. I think it depends on the type of problem you have as if it's muscular then maybe a physio but certainly if it's nerve related then a chiro very time

My sister and my colleague at work have been treated for varying back problems and have nothing but praise for the Sussex Back Clinic on Church Rd Hove.

My personal preference is a holistics therapist.

It depends on the Chiropractor and whether they're a snap it & crack it merchant or use a more subtle approach. I've suffered severe back problems for 5 years, had two epidurals and two op's. I swear the snap it & crack it merchant partially forced me into having the op's but I now see a lovely female Chiropractor/Dr with gentle healing hands who has me on the straight and narrow. Oh & for back pain sufferers the luxurious padded seats at the Amex help too!!

About 12 years ago I had a back pain problem that my GP referred me to a chiropractor in Lewes who diagnosed a lower back muscle spasm that caused pain and a displacement in my upper spine. I was very wary of any 'alternative medicines' but have to say I was impressed. Very thorough diagnosis with x-rays etc.
The technique is scary at first but have to say that I felt fantastic after each session and was 'cured' after about 6 sessions. I had a couple of lapses over the subsequent 10 years or so and was sorted again after 2 sessions. It is wonderful to walk with so little effort and no pain. No problem since.

I had a bad back due my driving job but found that a Chiropractor was great for me. I now go every 3 months to keep everything ticking over. Find a recommended one and give it a try!
