Ode To My Chiro

My body’s friend, the Chiropractor
gives me exactly what I’m after.
A reduction of serious pain 
in my skeletal frame is my aim.
To be enabled to be able
keeps me mentally stable.
For years in my pain, Doctors said “no don’t go,
those Chiropractors are your foe!”
So doctors fed me pain pills and charged me too much,
talked of expensive therapy, operations and such.
Possible fusing could be motion  losing.
The therapy never did the trick,
And the pills just made me sick.
So I tried to be believing and nice,
but went against the Doc’s advice
because I could barely walk
and had to work, 
my body in shock.
Saw that Chiropractor, took his advice
and at a very reasonable price.
That was my first whose name was Dr B. 
He helped me immensely.
The pain left quickly. 
I was no longer sickly.
My current Chiropractor uses an activator,
He’s a dedicated rejuvenator.
A friend recommended him twelve years ago,
For needed maintenance, I still go.
So many times to my elation,
he’s saved me an operation,
because of the sensible characteristic,
That his Chiropractics are holistic.
Doctors have their place and if it needs be so,
My chiropractor will tell me to go.
So Doctors, curb your pride and make the confession,
CHIROPRACTICS  is a Most Noble Profession !

( A heart felt thanks to my Chiropractors, Dr B. in Vt. 
   and  Dr. R. S. here in Florida. God bless you both. )

I agree totally. So far I have not needed the services of a Chiropractor, but I know so many people who have done so, with amazingly good results. An interesting write. Regards, Robert.

There is a place in medicine for both...but I've seen a few people become quadraplegics from a chiropractors bad adjustment to a neck and I've also seen great success... Great poem, thanks Lee

Some are good and some not. I wish to find a good one someday. I think it's a "gift" they might have and we need the "gift" of finding good doctors!! Luv, Andrea

Bravo! In some places the feud between chiropractors and doctors rages on. At the moment, I favor my chiropractor (as you know). At least he provides hope, charges far less and doesn't prescribe medicines with side effects. Indeed, it is a "most noble profession." This has to go to my favorites, Rob. Love, Carolyn
