If I go see a chiropractor for my clicky-hip, will I have to wear one of those hospital gowns or undress myself?
Thanks

I would have say only for an xray. My experience's with sciatic nerve, low-back, and / or pelvic region injuries treated by a "chiro", usually involved an x-ray of the area at first. The option of a gown and or any nudity during that time depended on my clothing i wore that day. (Jeans and alike clothing usually had to be removed). Thinner type clothes like "work out" clothes usually allowed a clear enough xray shot. So the worse case would maybe be a short "tug n hold" of your "undies" to expose the injured area for the xray. Other then that, I'd have to say no.
Besides, if the treatment is physical adjustments or exercises, you'd be more comfortable in "sweats" anyway. But your clothing option is to your own discretion. GOOD LUCK TO YOU

False Chiropractic cannot make a difference in scoliosis Surgery is usually reserved for those with more severe curvatures, 40-50 degrees. Physical therapy, and braces are used in lesser curvatures like yours. There is nothing that a chiropractor can do, and no evidence that anything they do works for scoliosis. The "theory" behind chiropractic...adjusting "subluxations" to restore the flow of "innate energy"...would not even be plausible to explain what chiropractic might do in this case. It is painful, expensive, and in the end you will not be any different.

I would rather see a good physical therapist with experience and credentials than a chiropractor. Chiropractors are a dime a dozen where i live and not one that i have seen has done one curative treatment that has helped. A great many have a business like vitamins or herbs they sell and other things. I would not recommend Chiropractic treatment; it does not work. You will not have to take your clothes of. All they do is press on your back or crack your neck. it will take no more than five minutes, if that.

Depends on the chiropractor. Sometimes they work through your clothes. If you have concerns, you can call and ask in advance. You may be able to stay dressed if you can wear loose clothes.

You might have to undress partially for the treatment. The chiropractor IS a doctor and you shouldn't be ashamed of your body in front of a doctor.

most likely only for x-rays~ then there is no reason your clothes should come off.
