	Not all chiropractors who take x-rays are quacks.  Six months
ago I was suffering from lower back pains and headaches.  After looking
through the yellow pages I chose a chiropractor.  After talking to him
and explaining my problems he gave me a complete physical and took x-rays
of my neck and back.  At first I was extremely skeptical because I also
felt that he should be able to tell what was wrong from just feeling.
	However, he had an x-ray specialist look at the x-rays and tell
him what was going on.  Then he sat down and explained what was wrong,
using the x-rays to show me.  Then I went into therepy.  
	My sessions started at one a day for two weeks and have increased
to one every two months.  The goal according to the doctor is for me to
come back once a year for "maintenance".
	How do I feel?  I feel great!!!!  After about 3 sessions there
was a definite improvement.  My husband, a real skeptic, was even 
impressed because I was a much nicer person and a lot easier to get 
along with.  (He said I had become quite a crabby person before.)
	So all this is to say give different methods a chance.  Just
because it's not what you've always had doesn't mean it's wrong.
