I personally go to physio room on main street for physio and massage therapy. Highly recommended.
I also go to joint works chiropractor also on main street. I've had spot adjustments there. Stephen is super knowledgeable there. Also highly recommended. Posted via RS Mobile

I go to Dr. Alvin Klassen.
He's over 60 now I believe so he's got quite a bit of years experience under his buckle. I've used him a number of times (I would say over 25 visits) after a few automobile accidents on and off for 2-3 years in my 20s and he's the only guy I really trust making adjustments to my back. He's also very good and the best I've had. My treatments were strictly chiro *snap snap snap*, none of that physiotherapist bullshit where they put gel on your body and make you lie there with a machine hooked up or take turns massaging a part of the body - it never seemed to do much for me.
For reference, I have only ever tried two others who were both chiro/physiotherapists but after very few adjustments, they focused more heavily on the physio side. They also weren't as confident doing them.

I have a Physio and a chiro who both do adjustments for me. The reason I asked on rs was because I was hoping someone could see me outside of the office on weekends or days off or evenings when the offices are all closed.
Anyways a rs member sent me a message bout it which is nice. Posted via RS Mobile
I crack my own back all the time... Heck my lower back cracks even when I shoulder check in the car... But I always find that the specific manipulations my Chiro does is different in that it feels different after, and gives me "relief" for a longer period of time. Since my work pays for it, I go monthly.
Just like any profession, there are chiros that are money grabbing and try to get you in X amount of times per week.. if you have an Acute issue, that's understandable, but if it is something chronic and they say you need to come in every week or 2x a week forever, then whatever they are doing, obviously isn't working... That, and they should be prescribing things for you to do at home that will prevent or improve whatever issues you have.
I go regularly because of the sports I play and my work. If I was not covered by extended health, and had to choose which treatment to pay for, I'd choose massage for sure.
so what you're telling me is that the chiropractic treatment create the clots that were already present.. right.. he already was displaying the symptoms beforehand. Did the adjustment exacerbate the issue, possibly. But it wasn't the REASON he had a stroke or had blood clots in his brain.
i think he quoted "professional" the same way he would quote chiros being "doctors"
Except that chiros aren't supposed to be doctors anymore than a physiotherapist or a nutritionist or a massage therapist. However, they do serve a purpose... and just like any other profession, there are good ones, and there are bad ones.

Maybe they are given the "Dr" title because they have have completed their Doctorates degree in Chiropractic which is about 4-5 years in addition to an undergraduate degree.

It's not a doctorate in chiropractic in the same way an MD is, just like a JD (Juris Doctorate) is not the same as an MD. They are entirely different disciplines.

I know it isn't. Anyone can be a "dr" if they obtained a doctorates in a certain field. English, Science, etc... They can still be called "doctors". What I meant was that they used their "doctorates" degree to give people the false belief that they are something similar to MDs
