re: #32 Kosh’s Shadow

My wife’s back was helped tremendously by a chiropractor.
But then, if chiropractic can help anything, that would be the back.

Much of the stuff out there is completely bogus, though

Indeed. Chiropractic medicine was once considered holistic. Now it’s covered by most insurance companies.

I do “alternative” things for minor ailments. For instance, applying pressure to some key body points (doesn’t that sound like fun!) really helps headaches. I’m a migraine sufferer. The best point for me is about an inch below the inside of your elbow, where your arm bends. Press hard with your thumb. The fleshy part of your palm is another, under the thumb. Rubbing the bottom of your big toe is another (although that one doesn’t work for me very well). Think I’m crazy? (Don’t answer that). Try it next time you have a headache.

Hey, maybe I should post on HuffPo!
