They examined me, did x-rays, etc. and after the necessary adjustments, I was 100% pain free, and without medication!!!! I do not go on a regular basis now, but I do go when I feel my back starting to hurt again. I highly recommend it. But you really need to do your research because there are alot of bad ones out there that could really mess you up. But if you go to a good one, it is a wonderful experience. It feels so good, too!
