Several weeks ago I managed to throw out my back.  Since then I
have been seeing a Chiropractor who has helped enormously.  Last
week he and I sat down after my 'adjustment' session and he
explained what he hoped to accomplish overall.  One thing he stated
was that when the back was in good adjustment and pressure was
releived from the central and peripheral nervous systems  there was
often overall benefits including reduction or elimination of
migraine headaches.

At the time this was of only incidental interest to me since I do
not get migraine headaches, but upon reading your message his words
popped to the surface.  Has anyone else on this echo attempted pain
reduction through chiropracty?

I CAN vouch for that fact that it helps releive traumatized back
injuries caused by careless exercising....:-)
