They don't have chiros where I live. I am in Vietnam. I used to have a good chiropractor and masseuse in Canada. But they never cured the problem...just treated it (albeit very well). I think that traditional Asian medicine might have a cure... ~Nathan

One way I reduced my back problems was to use a chiropractor. I'll leave it to you to research how to find a good one. I was lucky enough to have decent luck with the first guy I went to. I hobbled into their office barely able to stand up, with my back locked and causing a lot of pain. After some testing and a round of x-rays he gave me an adjustment. I walked out of there a little bit sore from the unaccustomed manipulation of my neck and spine, but standing straight, able to move freely, and without the debilitating pain I'd suffered for days. I had regular visits for 2 or 3 years and had few if any problems. Later, I learned from reading on the web that diligent use of stretching and twisting exercises can, if done properly, yield most or all the benefits of the chiropractic adjustments. I have since managed to avoid serious back problems with irregular though frequent short sessions of exercises to twist and stretch my spine. I could be more diligent, but have gotten by without chiropractic for the last several years. If cost is an issue, investigate this option. If not, chiro is likely a bit more comprehensive. Hope that helps. Mike D. [Mike Devour, Citizen, Patriot, Libertarian] [mdev...@eskimo.com ] [Speaking only for myself... ] -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
