Chiropractic treatment vs. massage therapy and Reiki? [View All]

[OneGrassRoot]

I know I have an L5-S1 disc issue. This flareup is the worst ever and has rendered me nearly nonfunctional. Every step, every movement is like I am lugging 500 bricks on the left side of my torso. I've tried everything and usually it would have subsided by now. No luck.

I posted an ad on craigslist asking to barter for chiropractic services. A gracious gentleman responded, saying he does massage therapy and Reiki and would barter.

For such an extreme disc-related issue, what are your thoughts regarding this treatment versus chiropractic therapy? I realize both in conjunction are the ideal, but unless I can find a chiropractor willing to barter or to offer services out of the kindness of his/her heart, I don't see that happening.

He does happen to rent space out of a chiropractor's office. She could take pity on me...lolol.

Thanks. :hug: in advance.
