Chiropractic, physical therapy & acupuncture

Has anyone tried a naturalistic health care approach to seek relief from pain in the lower back, neck, arms and legs? I have started this approach this week and will update you on my progress.

Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments, the theory being that proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, will enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. Manipulation is used to restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support (WebMD, 2016).

Manual alignment is done while one is lying face down or on one's side on an examining table. My chiropractor said relax and with his hands, used a controlled sudden force to improve my range and quality of motion. The whole procedure only takes less than 10 minutes and it makes you feel lighter afterwards.
