A fair amount of physical therapy does hurt and is expected to hurt but it doesn't matter as it's doing you longer term good; the problem with the 'differently qualified' such as osteopaths and chiropractors is that some of the things they do that hurt can cause damage or at the very least not work.
Do you know anybody who has been damaged by a chiropractor? I know plenty of people who have been damaged by NHS approved doctors.
Agree with this
I had a major lower back problem which was made worse by being advised and then given the wrong treatment through the Nhs.
Never ever believed in acupuncture but gave it a go, was not very expensive at all and the problem was a lot better within 4 sessions (overall cost about £100)
Do i believe in it? I dont no really but something helped and for that im grateful
