Chiropractic helped some, but he also uses "myotherapy". Look for two books, "Myotherapy: Bonnie Pruden's Complete Guide to Pain-free Living" by Bonnie Prudden, and "Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The TriggerPoint Manual" byTravel and Simons (you'll probably have to find the latter in a medical library). It's not a permanent fix, but does offer temporary relief to many people! Good luck.
