Got the up sale treatment, 3 days a week for a month then two days for a while and on and on.
Problem was with my lower back, had to adjust my neck also, or so he explained. He hurt my neck which was never a problem and to this day it still hurts.
If you can find an old OD, they can adjust your spine once or twice and it will work better that the chiropractor and safer. Deaths have occurred with chiropractors.
I started a new job then that required very hard physical work and after a few days of that work, my back pain went away.
