Years ago, I had some severe issues with my back in the past. Injuries from auto accident, and some degenerative decay.
After months of drugs, rest, rehab, PT, eventual L4 - L5 Discectomy, I was still hurting. I tried many things and the thing that really helped was getting GOOD chiropractic.
Just like any other profession, they don't all graduate at the top of their class. I'd suggest you keep searching for a better Chiro if that one isn't doing the trick. It's true that sometimes a few visits may be needed to make significant progress, but if you're not feeling significant improvement in 1-3 sessions, it's time to move on.
In my experience, a GOOD chiro was life altering for me. I still go back 1-2 times a year for adjustment, depending on how bad I've been over-exerting my body.
Get some references, ask around, do some more detailed searching for more experienced and give it another try or two and I'm sure you'll find value.
I think you're bang on there - a good chiro is what matters. I dont think I trust chiros at all now but I am glad it worked for you. I'm updating in today's post with what I found out.
Yes, I've been to a few that were worthless. The others fantastic as I spoke of. Will be following to see how it turns out for you.
