Chiropractor or Osteopath?

[Marc]

Well I had a nice long break over christmas, did pretty much did nothing other than lay about reading a book, over the 2 weeks a little twinge in my back developed into a real pain.

 

I need to keep up with my stretching but at the moment that does'nt seem to help (should never of let my yoga slip).

 

I hoping that getting back to work full time and being active will help the pain subside.

 

But I am curious about having my back looked at:

 

Did some research and it looks like Osteopaths are a more recognised way of treating back problems which surprised me.

 

Anyone here have any advice, comments.

I walked into my old chiropractor but didn't walk out.

 

But some people swear by them, I prefer the other option, did you ever see that Simpson's episode when Homer became a chiropractor?

Classic episode, sure wish I had one of those trash cans.

 

I bought a hot water bottle for the drive to work, good tip, think i'll just try to do more yoga, and excersise.

 

I did try a chiropractor, but was'nt impressed really.

 

May try an osteopath if I can find a good one, got to be worth a try.

Osteopath's are a much higher trained, and know chiropracy. Chiropraticy is a narrow field.

What Ed said. Osteopaths have been to medical school and they need you to help them pay that bill back.

Chiropractors are less expensive.

Chiropractors going on a tv program I saw years ago are nothing but quacks! a leading back specialist [medicaly trained] said chiropractors do far more damage than good, I remember he said, does all that bone crunching and clicking sound good to you!

[MasterBlaster]

And I say you're wrong. Some are good, some aren't. I've had nothing but good things happen to me from chiropractors when I needed them.

[Lee Winger]

Don't shoot the messenger, i'm just repeating what a world renowned back specialist said on national TV..

 

I won't be going to a chiropractor..

[MasterBlaster]

That's called "heresay."
