Hi JustwannaBe, No I have never been to a chiropractor because every orthopedic doctor I've seen in my life have all told me with my problems to stay away from them. I've also been seen by top scoliosis specialists & was told the same by them.

My back has some serious problems so I just can't take a chance with one wrong adjustment. If I didn't have scoliosis I would look forward to seeing one. I know so many people that swear by them. But for me its out of the question. But I appreciate the idea. I will talk to my pulmonary about about the possiblility of something pushing on my diaphram? With my scoliosis anything is possible.
