Went to a Chiropractor.

Long story, but I ended up in a chiropractor's office. He said I got a crooked spine which is twisting my pelvis which is pulling up one leg which results in more weight on the one foot....hence the pain and discomfort. He took x-rays from top to bottom as well. I saw him for six treatments of spinal adjustments and all I got was a sore back.

Its interesting you said that because I have an issue where I favor my right side and I lean towards my right leg when I walk and eventually my right ankle, calf, hamstring area get fatigued and the muscles get tense. It's not THAT noticeable but I can feel it in my right leg. I have been debating whether to see a Chiropractor and see what they have to say. Maybe a good idea???

i think you should. it sounds like you might have a short leg (it's very common) or a sacral subluxation. both would cause your pelvis to twist and cause your biomechanics to be off kilter and cause pain via muscle fatigue.

however, make sure you go to a GOOD chiropractor (unlike what the op did). a rule of thumb i have is that if the chiropractic clinic looks like crap or if it's in some unprofessional-looking house or something, don't go to it. also, don't have an old chiropractor. a lot of the older chiropractors (not all... but most) are crap.

there aren't.

Wait, I thought you were the official defender of chiropractology on ATOT, now you're saying that they're all quacks?

whoops. i mispoke. thanks for pointing that out.

i meant to type "they aren't" or "there are" and somehow came out with "there aren't"

also, it's not chiropractology. it's chiropractic. a lot of people mess that up hehe.

Call him and tell him the situation, that you don't feel you should pay. If he demands it, threaten litigation. If he still demands it, litigate immediately, even before it goes to collections.

that's a good way to handle it, but i still think this doctor needs to be taken to court just so he learns a lesson. not only should he have caught the fracture in the films he took, but he shouldn't have told you that load of crap about the spine causing the pelvis to twist which caused pain in your foot.
