Having benefited from a chiropractor to avoid back surgery, I'd recommend a reputable chiropractor hands down. They offer lots of different treatments ranging from pragmatic to comedic. The weirdest ones I've seen are the charlatans that attempt to "manipulate" your back by using their witty telekinetic karma. Truly hilarious to watch--like Disney's wizard only no magic wand. Probably be a good idea to stick with traditional chiropractic methods, of which there are several. The Palmer method worked for me.

The other major change for my back came after I started taking vitamins and herbs. Check out the television news clips, below, as well as the other link with lots of information. Health Question & Answer

Both have their benefits. Both will consist of multiple visits. Depends on what is wrong with your back as to which one will help the most. If you know a trustworthy chiropractor, (s)he can probably tell you what is wrong. They can x-ray also. Health Question & Answer
