I partially dislocated my left shoulder during my black belt test several years ago. The ortho doctor said 'it's just scar tissue. We'll go in and remove it.' My response was 'Create more scar tissue to remove scar tissue?!?! No, thanks.' I found a point release chiropractor that solved the problem over a 6 month period. The sessions were 15 minutes long and I had to be peeled off the ceiling after 10....
I've seen a chiropractor for about 12 years, mostly for regular adjustments, a few times for when stupid teenagers wreck my car.....
