I've also suffered from chronic backpain over the years - but mostly my experiences with chiropractors has been negative.
Last year I ended up with sciatica - pinched nerve in the lower back that went all the way down the leg. Before the problem was properly diagnosed by my doctor - initially I went the route of therapeutic massage...then progressed to chiropractor...then tried accupuncture.
I was in extreme pain - bedridden for months - and the chiropractor should have been able to diagnose the problem sooner...rather than keep me coming back for treatments that were doing literally nothing to solve the problem.
It finally took an MRI scan to figure it out - and then surgery.
I felt the chiropractor was nothing more than a money soak. I was not impressed to say the least.
