I have chronic back pain. For many years (15 or more?) I have seen a
chiropractor on a regular basis -- twice a month -- for maintenance and more
frequently, if necessary. Several months ago, I started taking yoga classes --
once a
week. I can tell you that this has made an enormous difference, both in my
comfort on a daily basis and in my ability to do *normal* workloads without
stressing my back. I'm sure the chiropractor could do as good a job if I went
to
him once a week, by the yoga classes cost me one-fifth what my chiropractor
charges -- and my chiropractor is way cheaper than most. So, for me, the yoga
classes have been an excellent investment in time and money. Last night,
during my yoga class, I heard my vertabrae *pop* several times as they
realigned
themselves. When that happens in the chiropractor's office, he is VERY pleased
and says *ah-HAH*!!! So, last night when I heard them pop, I said a silent
*ah-hah* to myself!! And today my back feels WONDERFUL!!! I'm recovering
from doing myself in shoveling snow two weeks ago, without requiring extra
trips
to the chiropractor! MA
