Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 1,409 Likes: 1 | Thanks, Christine. Today the acupuncturist did some chiropractory on me - she's also a chiropractor. First time for me. Can't say I enjoyed it, but I'm keeping an open mind...

Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 1,409 Likes: 1 | You know, Ed, I asked her about that.... although maybe I misremembered the acronym and had at any event forgot the full name. But it wasn't anything she seemed familiar with even though I did indeed use the Googles after your earlier post and discovered, amazingly, that she was listed as a practitioner. So either the Googles are wrong (and if so what faith can we maintain in mankind?) or I was truly botching my description.
And of course being a newcomer to the chiropractic realm I would have no way to tell whether what she was doing to me was ART or science.
On my next visit I'll be sure and get the name right!
Thanks so much again for your continued interest.
