A M.D. on getting adusted during pregnancy


I have the honored distinction of being both a physician, a multipara and chiropractic
patient---before,during, and after each pregnancy. Had it not been for the
conservative chiropractic care I received during the first pregnancy, I doubt there
would have been subsequent pregnancies. Though I gained 45 lbs. by utilizing the
Brewer diet, the back pain I endured was minimal as discomfort was relieved by
adjustments (manipulation). In my opinion, the only "specialist" who has the
expertise to determine whether, where, and when my spine needed adjustment is a
chiropractor.
With all due respect, no MD is properly trained to make that
determination-- physicians should consult chiropractors on these management issues.
I am looking forward to the time when equality is acknowledged between the
healthcare practitioners. Since good health is the theoretical desired outcome, what's
the hold up?
