    Heres to hoping your issue is a minor one and can get relieved from conservative treatments
    I agree. I think the reason it never helped me was because mine was too far gone. My friend sees one and gets complete relief, but she only has an issue once or twice a year, not 24/7. I think chiropractors have their place in spinal treatment, but they can't fix everything.
