A member asked:

Is chiropractic a permanent fix? if posture improves & u stand taller does that remain yrs after visits or does gravity cause it to eventually go back

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's not gravity: As much as it is muscle strength, and alignment.

I went to a chiropractor for chronic, EXCRUCIATING back pain. He told me I'm most likely dealing with disk/nerve damage. He started adjustments that make the pain so much worse. Should I continue with the adjustments, or should I visit an orthopedic?
