Yes, it's definitely a good idea to go to a woo bullshit merchant rather than a trained medical specialist
for a serious musculoskeletal problem. Definitely.

Is it?
Oh, bugger, it took me a week to get a doctor's appointment. Ah well I'll cancel it if you think it's a dead end.

I can't see a single flaw with going to see an practitioner of an medically dismissed alternative therapy in this, DF.

You know how much your opinion matters to me MB.
I'm even going to start using "an" rather than "a" before words beginning with M now.

*He only deals with musculoskeletal problems,

Yes
Some chiropractors are excellent masseurs, and orthopaedic specialists will often refer patients to some of the less "woo" chiropractors out there post medical diagnosis.

The key word is "post" ... Anyone that goes to a chiropractor with an unidentified problem and asks for a diagnosis is a fucking idiot. A bit like asking the man standing by the fruity in your local pub for financial advice, really.
