He may be right.

He may be wrong.

I'll look to someone other than a chiropractor for nutrition advice, however.

Lots of assertions, very little support.

Although, I hope he is right. Pretty much all the bread I eat is sourdough (why is that healthier?) and has been frozen then toasted.

[Mik]

Well now, there is quite a bit out there on this. I never knew sourdough was healthier. I just thought it was delicious and makes great toast and tomato sandwiches (with the bread lightly toasted). Turns out it is better.

Annnd it seems he is right.

Chiropractors, FTW!

Been to one twice this week. First time in 20+ years. I did something to my back in Hawaii and it wasn't getting better. Better now, but I need it to heal more since next weekend is graduation in NC. I use the same chiro as the Cincinnati Reds.

I'm agnostic on chiropractors when it comes to musculoskeletal things. THat's their training, and, yes, I've been to one.

But the question remains, long-term, is there REALLY any difference? In my case, no. My back healed fine with and without the chiropractor.

When chiropractors start talking about heart disease, stroke, cancer...that's a yuge red flag for me.

Never been to one. One or two friends frequent(ed) chiropractors for one or another ache or pain. Can’t say their visits ever resulted in a long term cure of their complaints. The chiro always seemed to treat the immediate symptoms but never determined the actual cause. They would feel some relief for a day or two and that was about it. Problem persisted until such time that went to their doctor and underwent physiotherapy.

Also saw “veterinarian chiros” work on horses back in the day. Didn’t do anything, other make the owner feel good about doing something. In fact, I saw more gimpy horses straightened out by the ferrier giving a good hoof trim or corrective shoeing.

Chiros work, if you use them for their intended purpose. A good one can get you temporary relief, sometimes quite a bit of relief, as you heal. They are not a long-term fix. But many times, you don't need a long term fix.
