Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Looking for a chiropractor
Does anyone have any recommendations for a chiropractor? My Google searches indicate there are plenty around the neighbouring areas but it would be good to get some local recommendations. Many thanks.

Hi Rebecca
I can recommend wholeheartedly an outstanding osteopath, and endorse him 100% having been his client for over 10 years. I don't know the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor but would be happy to pass on his details if one is as good as another.
Cheers
Carol

While I am not a believer in all aspects of complementary medicine I can see the scientific basis of people being helped by treating their muscles, ligaments etc. Is physiotherapy a con? It certainly helped me walk again after breaking my ankle a few years ago. Have you never had a headache cured by your neck and shoulders being massaged or tennis elbow treated by manipulation rather than an injection?

I'm a big fan of Ben Goldarche's work and don't particularly what my inner energy interfered with but the fact (and you are right about that) that there are a lot of quacks out there looking to make money doesn't detract from the benefits of some forms of complementary medicine.
If I have a broken leg I want traditional treatment to get it to heal but I have not problem with looking at the benefits of osteopathy in getting me back on my feet again.

Hi Rebecca,
Slightly out of the area, but Francesca at Islington Chiropractic is brilliant.

There's any number of patients who will swear by practitioners of Quack Medicine (such as the homeopaths) and who are quite sincere about it. The trouble is, that its often hard to distinguish between real results and the well-known Placebo effect. Physiotherapy is not comparable to Quack Cures.
Modern Medicine is based on science – and evidence, just like courts of law.
Prescription drugs are approved after rigourous Double Blind trials in which its hard to have anything other than confidence in the methodology.
GPs in the NHS who dispense advice based on science often don't have time to administer sympathy - and sometimes conventional medicine does not have the answer (anyway): but it does not follow that Quack Medical Practitioners do have the answers. It does follow that there are Charlatans willing to exploit those who feel they haven't got satisfaction from the conventional crew.

Chiropractic is definitely under-regulated, and I'd argue that's why severe complications arise. But I don't think one can regard pain at the site of manipulation as an 'adverse effect' - I've had both physio and chiropractic on my back, and both have left me feeling sore for a day or so afterwards from time to time, but that's to be expected, surely.

Neil I agree with you and don't mean to down-play the risks of visiting a chiropractor. I've heard some bad stories about them. Like some other practitioners, they reckon all problems stem from, or can be cured by, a single source (in this case, the spine).
Other single-source or wacko types include iridology, reflexology (foot-based); homeopathy, colour therapy, aromatherapy. They're almost a whole pathology in their own right!
Regular GPs have a rounded and scientific approach.

I am currently taking antibiotics. I am experiencing nausea, galloping trots and headache. What's the difference?

My GP referred me to my chiropractor. I'd argue that it's quite easy to tell that it's not a placebo effect when someone has moved your pelvis and now your leg isn't numb anymore.

Maybe because her empirical observation contradicts your militant denialism? I think I'd yell at you too :)
