I saw a chiropractor yesterday for my skull thumpers. As it turns out, one of the vertebrae in my neck was wayyyyy out of place. The chiro managed to pop it back without hurting me or popping off my head, so I would call yesterday's visit a success. Oh, and my headache went away for a while, which was impressive because that sucker had been hanging around for a few days straight by the time I staggered into this guy's office.
Oh, and one visit costs less than a month's worth of the migraine meds. Gee. If this guy can help me out, I'll be saving money *and* avoiding drugs. I'm not seeing a downside so far.
Of course, I reserve the right to come back and gripe later. I have a second appointment tomorrow afternoon. If my head pops off or something, I just might change my mind about this chiropractor thing.

2 had something to say:
Careful there. If you have a vertabrae far enough out of alignment to cause migraine headaches, the LAST thing you need is some smooth talking prestidigitator that has never seen the inside of a real medical school jerking your neck around.
One slight "adjustment" in the wrong direction could lead to para or quadrapalegia or worse.
Do yourself a favor and see someone that has been to med school and actually has a degree and license to practice medicine. Preferrably someone with a decade or so of experience to boot.
Good luck. I've never seen anyone that was helped by a chiropractor beyond the initial "honeymoon" period.

Oh, yeah, I'm reserving the right to change my mind later, like I said. I'm not fully committed one way or another - my faith in chiropractic practices is about as strong as my faith in Western doctors, which is about as strong as my faith in Congress at the moment.
I also checked him out before I went, because I would be beyond pissed if I had to type this reply with an eyeball-movement-guided device right now.
