I highly recommend chiropractic. I've gone once a month since 1998 and can see a difference in my lung function if I don't get regularly adjusted. I will say that every chiropractor has a slightly different style. Definitely go with one that is recommended to you and don't be nervous. Tense muscles do not allow the joints below to be adjusted well and further injury can result. It will take a few weeks to see noticeable differences so don't expect a miracle cure after one visit. In fact, you might be in some pain for the first few days after your first few adjustments. Keep going for a few weeks, then if you decide you don't like the technique or manner - try someone else. Don't right off chiropractic.
Be wary of someone who only practices 'activator' or 'network' technique. Actuator is a good tool should you have an area that is in spasm or just isn't being adjusted well with the hand but nothing replaces the healing power of human touch IMHO. 'Networking' I'm curiously cautious about believing. A little of it is fine but I'd be hard pressed to agree to only networking (which is the way networking is supposed to be practiced). Actually, I don't ever go to anyone that only uses one technique. Also, since I suffer hemoptysis I have to have a chiro. that can adjust necks in seated positions if it's a bad day for lying on my back...most days I can't lie on my back without starting a bleed. Good techniques are: Palmer (a method as well as a really good chiro. school), Gonstead, Thompson, Cox-flexion and Activator (again in moderation). I find the chiro's that seem to use it exclusively are usually women. Is this because they can't adjust people that are larger than them with their own hands/bodies? I personally prefer male chiropractors. It's also good to go to a chiro that also offers massage because they are most powerful used in conjunction.
Finally, frozen peas work great as ice packs if you have some residual soreness after the adjustments.
