Chiropractor or Osteopath
12 Answers
After years of using computers my arm is becoming extremely painful. Years ago I was diagnosed with WRULD. Now the pain goes right from my finger tips into my neck. The last two nights I have barely slept.
Clearly I need to see someone, I'm not one for pills so I was thinking a chiropractor or osteopath - but which would be best?!

Chiropractic practitioners practice alternative medicine and make all manner of wild claims such as the claim that they can cure asthma, colic and other complaints by manipulating the spine. Poppycock in my opinion. (Check out eminent scientist Simon Singh's recent high court battle with The Chiropractic Association).
Osteopathy all the way.

adjustments sometimes take a day or three to work their way through your system, Barmaid, so be patient.
One of the drawbacks about osteos is they're all completely different; with GPs it's 'She's got A so I'll prescribe B' but osteos don't think 'She's got A so I'll do B' - some of them will do anything from B to Z. So it's possible that some will have more success with you than others. If one gives you treatment that doesn't seem to be taking effect after, say, a few weeks you could try another.
