Hi Steve,
We have a couple of chiropractors here in town that have started offering to do spinal decompression therapy at their office. I've always wondered how much training they have to be able to do this procedure, but I would think they must be permitted to do it by the state or they wouldn't be advertising to do it.
With Love,

Little Quad...In spite of positive benefits I received from chiropractors prior to my injury, I cannot imagine a chiropractor willing to risk doing spinal manipulation/adjustments on a quadriplegic as the result of spinal cord injury, nor would I be willing to risk spinal manipulation/adjustments, fused or otherwise. I realize that chiropractors do more than just spinal manipulation, i.e. massage therapy and ultrasound. I would be very interested in your treatments and results if you are willing to share them.Good luck!Steve

A good friend of mine, Maryann quad over 25 years post C 4,5 is going to have to have her neck fused NOW because her disks shifted and she can't use her right arm as well as she could.Bobbie
