Once again, merely getting out of bed this morning was a painful adventure. I immediately fed myself two back pain pills and had a cup of tea. Then I called a cab and went to the chiropractor. I'm well aware of the dubious claims made by many chiropractors. Chiropracty is controversial .
Some practitioners claim to be able to fix just about anything with a twist of a verterbra.
I didn't go to the chiropractor to cure my asthma, though. I went because my neck pain was killing me. I rode to the office in a taxi, wincing at every bump in the road. I had a difficult time buckling my seatbelt because I couldn't easily look down. When I got to the office, I was heartstricken to see I'd have to navigate an icy driveway.
