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...?

No recommendations. However, I'm looking for the same type of chiro...the type described at http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/chirochoose.html.

Can you give -me- your recommendations?

Todd Bragg (http://www.sanjose.com/bragg-todd-dc-b144922) at Bragg Chiropractic, in San Jose. Best chiropractor I've ever known. See the comments above. :) There were times after Splat Day I hobbled into his office on crutches, and walked out carrying them. I shit you not.

Oh, forgot to say ... second choice would be, well, Sean something, over on the east side of San Jose, was just off 680 when I was there in 1992.... may not still be there. You could try looking in the phone book for DCs named Sean [mumble] in that area.

What about Doc Wong? If I remember right he prescribed sports bike riding to help keep your back in shape.

Well, that's the upside. The downside is Doc Wong and his staff are heavily into scientology, and won't treat you without a contract that ties you into all kinds of the expected stuff.

I like Harry, but he's precisely the type of "holistic" chiro I want to avoid.
