LOL!

Thanks irish_bob! Is it a bit like the Dental forum then?!

Might post somewhere else so!

Mr Magnolia

Dr. Stuart Kelly.

I used to attend him and found great relief. I think he has a clinic in Drogheda and Dundalk. I will PM you his number.

Edit/ Also, I'm subbed to this forum for a while now, I haven't experienced anything like irish_bob's opinion.

Thanks Colly10 but that would be a bit out of my way! I'm a bit strapped for time this week.

Oh, I didn't realise it was because they were elitist and cliquey?

I thought it was because this was the biology and medicine forum and well Chiropracty isn't really medicine is it. Unless you think Quack medicine should be included in this forum.

For the record, this forum is friendly to chiropractors providing chiropractic services with an evidence base behind them. Some people, however, seem to prefer having a persecution complex about such things. They're all agin' us! :rolleyes:

Edit: Admittedly, though, posts like the one directly above don't help convey this!

Ah, I see. This forum is friendly to the Chiropractors who don't perform the dangerous manipulations that can cause vertebrae damage or spinal injury, and is friendly to the chiropractors who don't really think they can cure disease with manipulation of the spine or re-align the ying yang chakra energy flow meridians 'use the force Luke' .

So in effect its friendly to the Pysiotherapists who call themselves chiropractors to attract that new age Alternative Medicine demographic.

Ok Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Try not to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Mr Magnolia

Mods, feel free to move this to the North East or Louth if it doesn't suit Biology & Medicine

Thanks.

Hi Sudz,

Irish bob doesn't really contribute to this forum. He just wanders around looking for a fight. We just have had to occasionally step in when people were making some outrageous claims about chiropracter before.

I've previously bought my dad a course of acupuncture when he was ill. Not opposed to alternative medicine at all.

Keep asking, and hopefully someone will sort you out with a reccomendation.

Good luck

DrIndy

i too support acupuncture as an adjunct to medical treatment. Some of the case control trials regarding its effectiveness are impressive.

I'm interjecting because i wish to state that as an MD - i too am not opposed to alternative medicine.

Now lets keep talking about chiropractors!

That's just silly. I'm a care assistant (dogsbody of health care) and I've met (and been shouted at) by 'elitist' gits. The docs here seem pretty cool and well the opposite of elitist actually.

Anyway I'm deviating. I've quite a few friends who have benefited from acupuncture and have heard good things about the chiropractor treatment though don't have any names, sorry OP. I'm from Navan so might hear of some from that area. I'll ask around

Thanks all for the helpful contributions!

I got a recommendation (thanks again Mr. Magnolia!) which I will certainly consider in the future if I ever need to but for now my problem seems to be sorting itself out slowly but surely!

I think I damaged the brachial plexus (??) nerves and had very uncomfortable tingling and numbness in my left forearm and hand but it seems to be improving now, slowly but surely. Might be the homeopathic remedy I'm taking or maybe just time is healing it!
