Egads, hadn't considered that and I'm fairly in-tune with my body. Wouldn't

hurt, I guess, to have a chiro work me up... those hot packs and adjustments

always feel good, however, I have heard a few horror stories of people who

were actually injured by a chiro. Here's one: I have a friend in Fla. who had

his lung punctured or collapsed (not sure) during a chiro visit. Today, he can't

bend over without with loosing his breath and when I make him laugh (long

distance) he says it taxes his oxygen intake so much that it hurts. I once asked

him if he pursued litigation for the injury and he told me he couldn't because

the chiro subsequently OD'd on vitamin A, probably carrot juice or something

(again, not sure). So be careful in chossing a chiro man...

Curiously, any particular reason for a rib being " out " . Did you suffer and

injury earlier in life? Or does it just happen and, for that matter, how and why

does it happen?

Hmmm.

I'm sure there are good and bad as in other fields. In previewing a

chiropractor, ask if they use an Activator. It's a tiny, hand-held

instrument that is used to simply tap the area that needs adjustment. No

twisting like a pretzel, etc. I've come to realize that, whenever I feel

pain in my shoulder blade area, it's a rib out. Chiro. fixes it right up.

I've had more than my share of injuries during my 70 years. I really thing

most people would benefit from periodic visits to a chiropractor. If I have

anything wrong (except a bone sticking out of the skin), I always start with

a chiro. first. Most of the time, one can solve the problem. If they

can't, they will tell you to see an M.D. That happened to my husband once.

He was in surgery the next day. He'd had a horse accident and had pulled

the bicep muscle away from the bone!
