Gardening and back pain

[Kapohocat]

I have to say that a combination of massage and chiro helped my back in the 80's when I was in a car accident. Relief was almost immediate - I had treatments every 3-4 days for about 3 weeks. Maybe it all would have gotten better on its own but I could not stand the constant pain and having lived on morphine in the hospital for almost 3 weeks (after accident) really didnt want to take a lot of meds again. The pain was so intense to get out of bed, I had to almost roll onto the floor and get up on my hands and knees and inch my way to standing position. The cause of course was the accident but the specific reason was hitting the steering wheel so hard.

And yes Drj - practioners vary just like in any field.
