Back Issues

---

Anyone who knows me knows I have a bad back. I hurt it years ago on the job. Over the years it's gotten better and worse and better again. I've had an MRI and I basically have two compressed/herniated discs. Fun fun.
When my back was at its worst I went to a chiropractor. I didn't have a whole lot of faith but I needed something other than the drugs my regular doctor kept giving me. It was the best thing I ever did. Far from the 'adjustments' I expected, I got gentle traction and electric therapy. Bliss.
I'd liked to have had some massage therapy too. Here's a medical massage therapist in NYC.
After a year I was almost pain free. I'll never quite be there, but it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to.
