I had a chiropractor here in Indianapolis tune me up, but tell me that the way I'm going I'm probably going to have degenerative disc problems when I'm older. I need look no further than Master Edgy to know that a squashed disc doesn't mean you can't still be a bamf on the mats. Generally wanna throw it out there, what are people's experiences with chiro and training? Helps or hurts?
Helps tremendously, if you find the right one! I wouldn't be on the mats as often as I am without it. I'm usually at my chiro 1-2x per week.
yoga is very important for disk issues. It will condition and strengthen the muscles that hold everything in place. Not only can it help from reducing further degredation it can actually make things much better. There are plenty of examples of people with disk issues who started training yoga religiously and have zero pain today as a result. Obviously training jiu jitsu you probably won't ever be pain free, but I guarantee you yoga will help.
I can't speak to Chiropractors I don't use them.
Ageed on the Yoga. Its another vital part of my regiment as well.

Yeah, that's usually how I get my taps too.. :(Quote:

I also go in for a "tune up" every month. a decent chiropractor is definitely worth the money.
My best friend's dad is my chiropractor and also trained jj on and off for a few years (he made a horrified face when I showed him the twister). His biggest thing is keeping up with adjustments and really emphasizes developing hamstring flexibility to prevent lower back issues. I've definitely noticed my chronic stiff neck has been way less common since I started making 2 trips to the chiro every week.
Chiropractor once a week and yoga sess throughout the week keeps me on the mats
