Let's revisit chiropractors
From the natural birth board:
" I had my chiropractor attend the birth of my son, she worked on me while I was in labor and adjusted me and my son right after he was born (but that's a whole other subject)."
That gives me the wiggins. Eep.

For some reason I read this as "My mother and I" and I was like, okay, I have seriously misjudged Mod.
Nice to know you're not crazy.
The nerve!

WTH does a newborn fresh out of the oven need adjusted?
IMO chiropractors aren't in the business of true healing, they're in the business of creating lifetime customers.
Ugh, that board. Not everyone who goes med-free is a crunchy granola and believer in all things woo.

Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I was all prepared to have Zane rubbing my back, but once I got down to business I didn't actually want to be touched. I probably would have throttled a chiropractor.
How do you even get in a position where you can be properly adjusted?
This is what I have been trying to picture. I went to one for a bit, until I realized I was getting nothing out of it, and I had to get into some pretty weird positions.

I think this was definitely true in my case. A few treatments in I was all, "ohh, this is helping!" Then I would travel for a week or two and I could barely walk.
After 3 months of 2-3x/week adjustments, the chiropractor was ready to drop me to semi-weekly (I suspect I reached the max number of treatments per year allowed by my insurance, or started to get close) and I was in as much pain as ever.
I'm doing physical therapy now, we'll see how that turns out.
I've only been to a chiropractor a handful of times in my life. But the times I have gone have definitely helped. A couple of weeks ago, I tweaked my lower back somehow. I just left it, hoping it would get better on it's own, but it was slowly getting worse until I could barely walk one day. My friend took me in to her Chiro, and it immediately started getting better that day. 2 days later the problem was all but gone.
So, while I don't necessarily think that they are all quacks, I think that some have definitely found ways to market themselves as more mandatory than they are. I certainly wouldn't have one around during labour.
