A member asked:

Will a visit to a chiropractor help with my feet pain and stiffness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not helpful: Chiropractors are not medical doctors. They practice a form of massage based upon ancient and discredited theories. If you have problems with pain and stiffness, start with your family doctor or a rheumatologist.
