What can you expect at your first consultation with a chiropractor? And why would you want to see a chiropractor in the first place?
Well, there is very powerful, convincing evidence that Chiropractic is more effective, and more cost-effective, in complaints such as low back pain.
Chiropractors can now claim to work within what is known as "evidence-based" therapy. In fact it's not only chiropractic research, but medical research too that verifies that chiropractic is more effective for your lumbago. What's more, if you first consult a chiropractor for low back pain, research confirms you are less likely to end up under the knife.
CONSULTING A CHIROPRACTOR ... what to expect ...
Whilst there are potential side effects and dangers associated with all treatment, the dangers of anti inflammatory drugs and surgery are considerably greater than those of Chiropractic. That's especially true if you are taking two medicines like aspirin and brufin simultaneously. So-called

Have A Great Story About a visit to the Chiropractor?
I'm not looking here for funny stories. That we'll find a place for elsewhere, and you can find an abundance of them in my books at Bernard-Preston.com. James Herriott genre books.
Here I'm looking for things that you particularly love / hate about a visit to the chiropractor. Share it! If we get too many, and we probably will, we'll split them.
Are there things you hate about a Chiropractic consultation? Let's hear about it. Hopefully even more stories about things you love.
You see, we Chiropractors can learn from your feedback, both positive and negative.
The most obvious example is a leg length inequality. There is heaps of research confirming that people with a short leg have a higher incidence of knee and hip arthritis. And in the practice we know that patients with short legs often have a scoliosis and make good material for degenerative lumbar disc disease casefiles such as this one!
Have your chiropractor examine you to determine if you have a significantly short leg. A millimetre or two is not usually significant.
LEG LENGTH INEQUALITY ...
In addition, there are other conditions such as Developmental Hip Dysplasia that cause hip arthritis. Gross cases of subluxated or dislocated (more often after a breach birth) DDH would be detected by the paediatrician at birth, but many of the marginal conditions are not detected until later in life. Your Chiropractor is fully equipped to examine and diagnose and treat such conditions. Another is Femero Acetabular Impingement Syndrome which starts as stiff hip in the young adult, progressing untreated unerringly to hip arthritis.
FEMERO ACETABULAR IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME ...
You will find your chiropractor taking a healthy interest in what you do and don't eat. There are few more distressing things than to hear that a favourite patient has suddenly had a heart attack or stroke and died ten or more years before his or her time. For example, consider this Healthy Breakfast Menu and Helens 15 euro salad that saved my bacon.
HEALTHY BREAKFAST MENU ...
High cholesterol doesn't just raise the risk of a heart attack. It means your back will heal more slowly after an injury, the likelihood of a stroke is much high, and you are more likely to get Alzheimers... all good reasons to get your HDL and LDL into shape. But what do these terms mean, and what foods should you avoid?
FOODS TO AVOID HIGH CHOLESTEROL ... including tables of LDL and HDL. Are you at risk?

BRACHIAL PLEXUS
Arm Pain
SHOULDER
"The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that originates from the spinal cord and controls muscle movements and sensation in the shoulder, arm and hand."
"My thumb, forefinger and middle finger went weak after cuff surgery."
"Hello,I take it you've been back to the surgeon.
It's probably temporary inflammation of the median nerve, but of course could be worse... I'm afraid I don't think chiropractic has anything to offer at this stage.
Once everything has healed up, if you don't get the strength back, or your fingers remain numb and tingly, then I'd consult a local chiro to see if there is also a problem in your neck or the first rib.
