Chiropractors who work on the nervous system? Anyone ever try or hear of?

This lady should make a killing if she can cure SD!!!!

Since I have tried this method of alternative healing, I thought I share my impressions with you. I went to a network chiropractor for six sessions. I did not continue because she said it was at least a 6 month commitment, and it did not feel quite genuine to me . It was relaxing but did not help my voice.In all fairness I cannot say that it does not work because I did not go for the recommended duration.

I have talked to some friends who have seen network chiros, not for voice, but for general health improvement and they report significant improvement in general attitude and improved communication ability and not being defensive. They have paid for a full year in advance about 600 a month.

They have you lay on your tummy face down on a massage table, and they gently touch, or poke your spine in different places. It does send kind of a shiver down your back and makes you release some tension held in muscles.

They can "read" where you are holding tension and they can help you release it.

Mine worked on one person at a time, but these days the network chiropractic seems to be the "in" thing and they work on groups of 10 to 20 people at a time since they only have to touch or poke you a few times. some of them practice a bit of shamanism, like making noises to blance your energy system.

I did learn that I was holding my neck too forward meaning I had a defensive posture and she thought my posture was affecting the release of fight or flight chemicals in my system. So I am more aware of my posture now.

Anyway, If you have the time and money and you don't expect miracles, it might be an interesting thing to try.

I quit going even though my insurance was paying for most of it. I thought a massage where I actually was touched and rubbed and paid full attention to was more worth my time. Hope this explanation helps. good luck! Goly

I can offer more details to your private e-mail if you want (and I've written a bit on this subject on the BB in the past), but I've been a steady chiropractic patient since 1982. Two different practitioners. The current one (since 1987), specializes in the nervous system and took a full year of additional neurological training, beyond her DC, in the early-90's and used me as a Case Study prior to my RLN surgery, as I was her only patient with a recognized neurological disorder.

She is a popular and highly-respected practitioner in the SF Bay Area. She helps alot of people.

The techniques are relaxing, soothing and effective. They help my body in many ways. Feeling more energetic. Less arthritic pain, etc. But, the techniques have had absolutely zero effect on my voice, either positive or negative, over all these years.

I would recommend a skilled practitioner (like mine) in that field if your insurance pays for it. But, I would be highly suspect if someone says they can *cure* your disorder when they've never heard of your disorder. Sounds like a con job or grandstanding to me. Beware.

I have a lot of respect for my chiropractor and know that she has been able to deal with some of my health problems more effectively and quickly than would have been the case if I had gone to my doctor. But at the same time, I find some of the claims made by people in 'alternative' medicine to be quite astonishing. Can you imagine a doctor guaranteeing to be able to cure something he knows nothing about? If he/she did, would you want to be treated by him/her? In my case, the answer is a very definite NO!!
