Not all chiropractors are bad, just like you rip offs call grease monkeys, some are honest some are questionable.

I get spams in my neck and shoulders and some times my lower back. These spams(in the neck and shoulders) lead to debilitating head achs. Going to my chiropractor helps.

But I will say I've seen a few quakes that sold their treatments as a cure all for everything, which I know is total crap. The side order of crap was the twisting that quack did made my spams worse.

The only thing that medical doctors wanna do for my spams is give me some drugs. While most would think that's the greatest thing ever, I can't function taking those drugs, so end up not taking em.

My chiropractor uses the Gonstead method. It beats the hell out of what my last chiropractor did (though he was much nicer and I still owe him money : ( )

i'm going to be learning gonstead next trimester... i'm also planning on learning cox method and activator (it's like a little spring-loaded thumping tool or whatever... good for babies and old people). i already know logan basic technique (which i think is a great technique for certain patients with sacral dysfunctions) and diversified. i can't decide whether i want to learn active release technique, though...

depends on which technique you use... but the most common way is diversified. the typical c-spine adjustment is find the segmental dysfunction (which is typically indicated by zygopophyseal capsular swelling), find out which way it's fixated, then kinda force it the opposite way with an impulse thrust. it's a lot less cut-and-dry than that, but that's the basic idea.
