Has anybody had any experience ( good or bad) of seeing a chiropractor for neck and shoulder pain?
I did my knee just before Christmas in 2022 whilst in Oz. I struggled along with it (as you do), but it wasn't getting any better. Last year I went to a chiro to see if he could help. His assessment was that I had torn my meniscus. Several sessions including manipulation, acupuncture and low level laser treatments and the knee is as good as before. An initial 40 minute consultation and treatment session followed by periodic 20 minute sessions.Has anybody had any experience ( good or bad) of seeing a chiropractor for neck and shoulder pain?
I’ve torn my menisci 3 times. Two were repaired with the concurrent ACL tears but the third is left untreated and the surgeon advised not to have a third surgery on this knee as it’s already arthritic. I can manage it day to day but I can’t bend my knee towards 90 as that pinches the torn bit and I definitely can’t twist or run. So I’m intrigued as to how your chiropractor fixed you, as I’ve never come across one who had any tools beyond their hands and the activator gun?I did my knee just before Christmas in 2022 whilst in Oz.

My wife uses the same chiro for her hip and back, with positive results also.

Well yes. But where was this, did they charge extra for laser and acupuncture, how long did it take, how many sessions, how often, follow up, maintenance?I did originally post 'manipulation, acupuncture and low lever laser treatment'?

Thanks, 40 points to Leeds.It was at the chiro's. It was a the chiro's consulting rooms in Morley. No extra charge for laser/acupuncture. I started going to the chiro last April/May. Initially every 2 weeks, had laser and acupuncture treatment from June then 3 or 4 weeks. I stopped going in December.
