One of the things I forgot to add in my recent posting was the time I went
to my chiropractor for my regular "maintenance" (adjust the timing, change
the spark plugs... :-)), and I happened to have had a lingering headache.
When I told the chiro about it, and described where the headache was, he
immediately asked, "Are you on a diet?  Or have you recently changed your
eating habits?"  Well, it so happened that I had just gone on 2nd shift at
work, and I was eating at all kinds of weird hours.  The chiro kind of
pressed down on my stomach, and the headache pain was noticeably diminished.
To avoid a recurrence, I merely "regularized" my eating hours.

People have said in past articles that chiros don't seem to know that a
back has a front attached to it.  Perhaps that's because they're going
to the wrong chiropractor.
