My friend Karen has always gone to chiropractors. I remember when we were little and I would go to see the medical doctor, she would go off to the chiropractor. As we got a little older, my mother let me go with sometimes. I always loved going with Karen to the chiropractor's office. The people were really nice and friendly and I loved the fact that nothing hurt you.

I had many trips to the medical doctor when I was a child, and I hated every last one. I found the whole experience degrading and uncomfortable. I didn't like taking my clothes off and putting on a gown, and I definitely didn't like the needles. As a matter of fact when I was about 12 my mother took me to the pediatrician for a shot and I remember I ran out of the office. I remember having to go back a few days later, and my father having to take off work to help my mother take me to the doctor and force me into getting the needle. Yuck! Now that I make my own decisions about my health and my care, I stay far away from the medical doctor's office. I will only go to them when I am dying, this way I know that they are my last resort. I have since begun chiropractic care myself and have found an excellent Bethesda Chiropractor who takes really good care of me. My mother has never supported this non-medical philosophy and when we were kids I would hear my parents talking about what wacko's Karen's parents were for taking such a small child to a back cracker. Well, obviously a very uneducated perception of what a chiropractor does, but still the same they meant well I guess.

Karen recently called me, since she had hurt her back at work. She has a factory job and does a lot of lifting. In any case, she had been to her chiropractor with very little results and she asked me if I could talk to my chiropractor for her. Well, I did and he said that there was nothing better than a technique called Lordex for extreme low back disc problems. He gave me the name and number of a friend of his who practices locally and would be more than happy to check Karen out. Well, Karen went, and sure enough got some excellent results from her chiropractic care. The chiropractor told her that her years of chiropractic care prior to her injury had really helped her and made her recovery period much shorter.
