..But me and my fiance thought the spa treatment was on the high side of the price range.

So this was our first time going to a "rejuvenation" spa and massage therapy. For a mere 1 hour session, the price of admission was $200 before tip for the both of us.

So what do you guys think of message therapy? Worth it? I always hear chiropractors are better than massage therapists, but I've yet to try one.

just go to a pain clinic... doctors, chiropractors and massage therapists all on one roof, and for whatever you need, you go to who is most appropriate..

i was going to one for a while. they would hook you up to some electro pulse thing for your back, then you saw the chiropractor, relaxed, talked to the doctor, then spent about 20 minutes with a massage therapists.. you walked out feeling like heaven
 
they're totally different. Massage therapists work on muscle tension, etc.
chiropractors work on aligning your bones and joints so you can move more efficiently.

I love my chiropractor (not to mention that insurance covers more and it won't cost $200 either way). Chiropractors are doctors, massage therapists are not.

That's not to say massage therapy isn't worthwhile. I just don't find them comparable. Together they may be useful (never tried it) but it's definitely not an either/or thing.

Were you under some type of plan in order to get those treatments? Most clinics I know of usually don't let you in unless you literally have a medical condition (or are recovering from surgery or an injury) in order to use those people. Me and fiance were just kinda doing it to try it out and wanted to make it a "health routine" like we do other things. It's expensive as hell though from the looks of it if you go private.

They aren't doctors actually. They like to call themselves "doctors of chiropratics", just like you can have a doctorate of engineering.
I think "witch-doctors" fits better. So maybe you're right.

who else is going to work on your spine?

i know alot of chiros will tell you that you need all kinds of treatment, but most doctors are like that.

ive gone to see a chiro about back pain and after he looked at my spine and popped my back a few times the pain went away.

worked for me.

chiropractors and massage therapists are completely different. we treat different things in different ways. so, to say one's better than the other is kinda difficult to assess. it depends on what needs to be done.

hmm... i guess 5 academic years of medical education, diagnosing, taking and assessing tests, treating patients, and taking national and state board exams disqualifies someone from being a doctor because they choose not to prescribe medications to mask symptoms of problems rather than actually treat the problem.

The guy who worked on mine was a neurosurgeon.

what a shame 🙁

it always upsets me to hear about people who didn't realize that regular chiropractic treatments could keep most people from eventually having to have surgery for spinal problems... now that they've had surgery on their spine, they're in a permanent and accelerated degenerative state...

it sucks to know that even though someone might feel fine now after spinal surgery, they're going to be way worse off down the road because of it 🙁
