  Emily E. asked:

  Affordable massage session suggestions. My chiropractor visit isn't enough time to get all the knots out on my spine, deltoid and shoulder blades. My back is a mess and it hurts when I breathe in. No way I'm starting my intense workout feeling like this. I need relief! An hour session at my chiropractor is super expensive so does anyone recommend anyone?

  I am sorry, but for the sake of argument can you take into account that you might not have very good account or knowledge of what does into chiropractic work? I am not saying I have a degree in it myself, but have been around it a long time, and worked inside of a clinic for a time and seen first hand how a lot of the care goes. You mention a lot of observation of your own that seem to have no really backing other then opinion. But I will try to deal wit each statement on its own, because I am bored and well I just cant even with out trying to drop some education. "Chiropracty is based on the supposition that literally every disease that afflicts humans can be solved by realigning your spine" not really considered to be a cure for every disease, but then again I could see how one might think that, much like most major pharmaceutical will say there is a pill to cure about everything, but what is does go with is the reality that it is an integral part of your central nervous system. One very common complaint related to this is sciatica ( http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sciatica/basics/definition/con-20026478 ) which is essentially a pinched nerve in one of the lower lumbar disks. "Chiropractic relies on a demonstrably false premise that did not result from any type of observation or scientific investigation and thus is a pseudoscience, and everything that follows from this false premise is worthless." I mean unless MRI scan being used to monitor changes before and after treatments, and over a period of time is psudeoscience I am not really sure were you are pulling that from. I have this link that mentiones many of the studies done on a technique meant to treat the previously mentioned condition. http://www.coxtechnic.com/doctors/research I mean I am not trying to say anyone should see one ever, but I just have a problem with some of the very uneducated and biased statements said as generalized absolutes with no real backing. (get it backing? Its a pun)
