I don't understand the expression 'mis-aligned'?!? nor does my friend who I asked 4 advice. We are both ex-orthopaedic secretaries. We both avoid any other types of treatments due to being aware of might happen. Rarely are bad results, i.e. paralysis by a person being manipulated without relaxant seen in the Press.
It is said that a good therapist will 'sort' the problem if it is sortable within a few sessions, one should not have to keep returning for similar treatments. An X-ray will show if there are sketal problems which require 'manipulation', muscles can become tight so the body compensates etc. .....
I know what I do 'wrongly' which produces sciatica - i.e. I don't kneel!!! DH currently has a swollen foot so is walking awkwardly so we are aware that he is compensating which may alter his gait.
If a vertebra is 'mis-aligned' in the true sense, one may become paralysed. Certainly it would be painful beyond words, my neighbour suffered and needed
valium as a relaxant. A normally placid man ...........
he had moved, suddenly
Would your GP or Consultant refer you to the people you have been seeing? Is there a good record with results ?
