It has been almost 2 months now and I have to say that it has helped me immensely. When I get there, I lay on this 'bed-type' couch and it massages my lower back as heat is applied to it and there are some sensors that they apply to each of my sides. This process lasts about 10 minutes and I could seriously go to sleep, it feels that good.
When I am done with this process, then I go to the actual chiropractor and he 'adjusts' me. First I lay on my stomach and he presses on my spine in about 3 different areas and works out the knots. Then I lay on each of my sides and he cracks that area and then he works on my neck. Which I love! Having my neck adjusted does wonders.
After that, I go into a room with one of his assistants and they have me lay on my stomach where they do what is called an ultrasound. Now this is not like a typical ultrasound where they look inside of you. They apply this very minty gel stuff on my back and work it around for a few minutes and it helps to loosen up my muscles and stimulate them.
I do all of this about 3 times a week and I have really found that I feel much better. Although I still have a few slight isssues every now and again, I see a difference. Sometimes giving something the benefit of the doubt really does work out and help us.

So glad they worked for you!!! I would have been very skeptical as well, so thank you for helping to change that!
I haven't been around in ages - sorry! Sounds like you are doing better and that makes me so happy!!!! HUGS!
It's great that you found a good Chiropractor to help you. There are so many bad ones out there! My husband has been seeing his Chiro. for about 4 years now. He started out 3 times a week just like you because he had injured his neck and spine so much from various things that his spine was crooked. Now he just sees him once a month and it has made a HUGE difference for him.
Chiropratic has helped me uite a bit. I just wish it was a cure. Best of luck with your back!
I had never ever been to a chiro until I worked for one. I wouldn't let him work on my back for the longest time. I went to him originally for acupuncture. Weird I know. Anyway, I really do see the benefits of getting regular adjustments now. And I've seen crippled people get up and walk out before. It was amazing!
I've missed you. I'm not a big blogger these days. I've lost my mojo. =(
