Looking for a few good ... chiropractors

[unixronin]

I want to find a good chiropractor in Southern New Hampshire.  Specifically, I want to find a chiropractor like the two GOOD ones I knew in San Jose, California.  A chiropractor who isn't into all the new-age holistic stuff, won't try to glue magnets to my back or sell me energized water, doesn't think that conventional medicine is "death medicine" and that vaccinations are deadly, won't lie to me about X-rays when I can see perfectly clearly he's drawing lines between two different sets of reference points to try to show a result that isn't true, won't try to treat my back pain by giving me electric shocks in my earlobe, and won't try to tell me that wearing a ball cap weighted with 6lb of lead will make my vision sharper.  I just want a chiropractor who knows the spine and skeleton, knows his drop table, and isn't afraid to use it.  Preferably, one who won't get bent out of shape when I say "Look, I know exactly what the problem is, I just can't treat it myself."

Anyone have any recommendations or referrals...?

probably your best bet will be to find a local DO, rather than MD

That's a very interesting comment, since I've been meaning to switch my GP from the current one at Nashua Medical Group, twenty miles away in South Nashua, to one of the GPs at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Merrimack Family Practice Center, three miles down the road. One of the three physicians there that I'd been considering as likely candidates is, indeed, a DO.

Well, I've certainly been sold by my experience.

Now, granted, it was a small town, by a DO just starting his practice, himself, and a administrative person, so he did all the "nurse" work, had 2-3 appointments a day, so plenty of time to see you whenever, and talk, and he was very personable, and very good.

The doctor I went to yesterday (MD) was very good, as well, being also, just out of school.. maybe it's just something about being out of school and not losing the soul yet. :) Nurse Fiancee said we'd go see him, that he was good, and just opening up, and sure enough, most of his day was available.

But the DO should have the training to at least know what you'll need, and hopefully, have some contacts in the chiro community. Heck, call up the office, and see if they might have a recommendation for a DC.
