Truly, I have had my neck 'clicked' more times than I can remember over the
last 25 years - it must run into the hundreds. I went into this with my
present chiropractor very carefully before I started going to him. He has
never encountered or even heard of one single case of stroke owing to
adjustment of the neck. If my neck isn't 'clicked', I become extremely giddy
because it goes out of alignment very easily, reduces the blood flow etc.
etc. and I can suffer from 'cathedral neck' at the drop of a, er, hat! ;-)
It also travels down the spine into the thoracic vertebrae and pulls those
out of alignment and thus on, down to the lumbar vertebrae. I have bony
growth spurs on my neck and lower back and there's nothing to be done about
either, other than chiropractic. Until I found this particular
chiropractor, I was so giddy that I could barely trust myself to walk down a
path in a straight line. It's very embarrassing when you're staggering at
9am! Before this, I was going to a physio/chiropractor and having a deep
manipulation by machine which simply didn't do the job. That lasted for a
good 4 years, I think so I did give it my best shot. I'm *very* grateful for
the warning, Les, as I'm sure others will be if they're contemplating
chiropractic because you've reminded everyone that it's important to be sure
you have a really good, highly qualified and well-practised chiropractor.
Mine does a full assessment before treating you and orders X-rays if you or
he are happier to have them.

Exactly Martin. And the families left behind...

Good grief, what a newsgroup! You lot need to do more gardening. I'm off.

Crikey, chaps, little did I think that my first, timid posting on this my
first newsgroup would unleash such a spat! It does seem to have a
ritualised quality to it , what up here in Scotland we call "flyting", but
it has taken me aback. I thought gardeners would be peaceful, equable
sorts... I do feel I must say I welcomed all replies - I am experimenting
with camomile in the dark, as t'were, because I know no-one who grows it,
and my gardening friends think I am quite insane, given the finicky labour
entailed. I will add, at some risk, and pace Sacha, that snoozing on the
roof of LaPuce's shed sounds OK to me, Peace to all, Dave

Please don't Dave. Come back. Just ignore the OT stuff and keep with
the fun ones. Pretty please bat eyelashes Can't you smell that
lovely chamomile wafting through the house? I do ;o)

I have never used the NHS for anything to do with neck or back or had a
chiropractor make that a requirement.
