The Bare Bones - Getting over a fear of chiropractors
Jul 30, 2013
The last time I visited a chiropractor was in 1984. I'd developed minor back spasms following a cross country race. Tom "Mac" McMurray, my coach at Glendale (Calif.) Community College, suggested I see a chiropractor. Mac had suffered lower back pain from sciatica. After dozens of failed remedies, he'd finally hit pay dirt with a chiropractic adjustment.
