My major concern with chiropractors are that they are willing to physically manipulate your back without having seen an x-ray or MRI. When I suggested one, my daughter's chiropractor said he would treat her back pain (which she had for over 2 months at that point) over the course of 6 sessions, and then take an x-ray if it wasn't relieved because I "seemed concerned." How is this sound medical practice? Surely one can't "feel" everything. Upon x-ray and MRI it was found that she had degenerative disc disease- wouldn't it have been nice if the chiropractor knew this before he treated her?? Surely this isn't sound medical practice, however, the office we went to was highly recommended.
