Trust me he wont think much of him or her Here is the truth about what they do. A chiropractor can do spinal manipulations to relieve stress on spinal nerves caused by things like muscle tension or a slight misalignment of the discs. The manipulation is not a permanent change of anything though, and no - they can't permanently change the natural shape or curvature of a spine. An orthopedist can evaluate the situation and determine if a scoliosis is actually present, and if a brace would be of help. A brace has to be individually fitted though- it's not a one size fits all proposition. A chiropractor can be helpful in musculo-skeletal aches and pains, through manipulation and massage- but aside from that it's all smoke and mirrors. If you have back pain from the misalignment, they can help relieve that. But nothing they do is going to be a permanent fix. Spines don't work that way. To change a spine takes surgery and braces. Most want to drag out the process for as long as possible. There plan is to take a full body X-ray and have you going to them for a long time, by nit picking every little thing. No ones spine is perfect. In my opinion they are just as good a back rub. But to each his or her own. Chiropractors do not have a medical degree nor are they FDA approved. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. DO NOT GO TO THE CHIROPRACTOR especially with a baby.

Seriously, among doctors sued, chiropractors are not very common. 4-You only need a 2.0 to a 2.5 GPA to get into most chiropractic schools Disadvantages: 1-school costs anywhere from $60,000-$100,000. And that is just chiropractic school, not including the 1-3 years of pre reqs just to get into chiropractic school. 2-You have the headache of running a business. That means getting patients in the door, and then keeping them happy. Dealing with employees and overhead such as advertising, equipment rentals etc. 3-Physically it can be hard after a long days work. Spinal manipulations involve a lot from your body physically to adjust others' spines. 4-A chiropractor has very little reciprocity. Meaning, if you get your license in say, Nevada, good luck trying to get a license in California, Florida etc. If you want to move to another state, be prepared to take the board exam all over again. The pre requisites for chiropractic schools are all basically the same. Google a chiropractic school near you and navigate their website. Admissions counselors in some schools are recent graduates and can help you plan if you still want to be one yourself. Advantages:

If there is imaging involved (X-Rays, etc.) The prices goes up from there. But yeah, expect to pay around $40. It really depends on your chiropractor too. Good luck!
