Well I head off for a second visit to a chiropractor this morning. After 1 and 1/2 years of persistent low-grade back pain I went to my doctor. She wrote me a prescription to see a chiropractor and then wrote down three different names that she recommended. Now my doctor is a woman my age, mid thirties, practising in a town where there aren't that many doctors who knows that I do not like merely taking drugs for a problem.

On Monday I went for my first appoinrment. The chiropractor talked with me and looked at my back. Judging from some of the comments made earlier I guess she's on the more intrusive end of the scale but after stiffness on Tuesday I felt far freer on Wednesday. I'm working on the stretches she showed me and hopng for the best.
