Title: Chiropracty on the NHS
Post by: Manotea on 30 June, 2010, 10:32:18 am
As a follow on to this thread (http://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=35115.0), is there any experience of chiropracty on the NHS.

I have occaisional back problems - not associated with cycling per se, as far as I can tell - which are generally resolved by a couple of visits to a Chiropractor (its the nearest thing to an instant cure I know). It strikes me as exactly the sort of treatment which should be available on the NHS as it represents the difference between being a chairbound invalid to a fully functioning member of society in nothing flat.

Sadly, my experience is that it generally takes a couple of days to get to see my GP and then weeks/months for any further referral which is frankly useless. As it happens I'll be seeing my GP in a couple of weeks and will have a word then.
