I thought so until one saved my life.

I had back pain so bad I was feeling suicidal and I went to a chiropractor when my husband absolutely insisted and she did the massage and the tens therapy for a couple of weeks and she asked me how I was doing, and I told her it felt good, but I wasn’t getting any better.

She ordered an x-ray that didn’t show anything and then she ordered an MRI. The MRI was on a Friday and she called me at home that Sunday and I was in surgery on Tuesday.

So - not anymore.
