Several years ago I hurt my back by trying to lift something that was too heavy. I could hardly walk and I was in great pain. I went to my doctor and he said I had two choices. I could have an operation OR I could see if a chiropractor could help me. I took several months before I could go back to work. I would drive to the doctors office and have my right leg resting on the passenger seat and when I got there I had to lay on the floor of the supply room. I could NOT sit on a chair OR lay in a bed. After my chiropractor treatment I could drive normally, but two days later I was in the same shape. Eventually I was able to sleep in my bed again and walked with little pain. It took a while but I thanked the doctor for his help.
