Well, the chiropractor was honest enough to tell my Mother that nothing she (the chiro) could do would really help her. She did tell Mom that the best thing she can do is to keep moving and if that requires using her walker at all times that's what she should do. According to the x-rays, Mom's right hip should be replaced, but her age and respiratory condition make her NOT a candidate for that. She took it all pretty well and we went on to an open house hosted by a friend who sells Longaberger Baskets
