i've got 4 pinched nerves, and 3 herniated discs, reverse curvature in the neck, and a "multidirectional curvature" in my back (lumbar/thoracic) scoliosis essentially on steroids. This is causing a ton of pain. it's to the point where i've had to start waking up an hour earlier than normal so I can get my back loose enough to where it will allow me to bend and get out of bed.
i'm currently having chiropractic appoints every other day, and have so for 2 weeks. I've not had any difference in pain levels.
Pro's on chiropractic route
No surgery
Con's
Expensive (120 dollars a week)
not a guaranteed fix
takes upto 5 years for the condition of my back to "possibly be normal"

Con's
Long recovery time in the back (1.5 - 2 years)
possible paralysis
possible numbness
Metal rods in back for rest of my life.
also, this is part of why im not as active as i was during initiate portion.
