@msrobotics If chiropractors are doing things similar to what a physical therapist does, I agree that there may be a benefit. I have to write my responses knowing that people will have different degrees of conditions and there isn’t a one size fits all response that is right for everyone. Some people have undiagnosed spine conditions that they are unaware of and a correct diagnosis relies on patient advocacy and honest and complete communication between patients and doctors. Mayo has chiropractors on staff who are listed as doing myofascial release which is what my physical therapist does with me. They can’t fix a structural issue when there is significant compression of nerves or spinal cord. With arthritis and bone growth, there may come a time when better alignment does not help ease up the nerve compression and irritation and it becomes a surgical decision. My physical therapist was buying me time before my surgery, not by my choice, but because surgeons were missing the correct diagnosis and wouldn’t help. I would have had surgery a lot sooner if I had found the right surgeon earlier.
