the roller derby plans have been put on hold.

i tore my back up something horrid and, while my plan was to be better by today, it hasn't worked yet. i'm gonna have to hit last resort and start calling up a chiropractor.

oh well. i have needed one for awhile, i've just been putting it off. time to start taking care of myself again.

As a bonafide weightlifter, scientist, skeptic, and someone who has tried chiropractic treatment, it is my duty to inform you that chiropracty is a sham -- unless you only want an expensive, awkward, and potentially harmful "massage". You'd be much better off going to a general practitioner and/or a massage therapist (I understand there is a massage place on Hudson).

"Research studies of chiropractic treatment for low-back pain have been of uneven quality and insufficient to allow firm conclusions." -- National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (National Institute of Health)

"Chiropractic is to science, what Scientology is to religion. It is just as much a pseudoscience, as Scientology is a pseudoreligion." -- The Quack Files (www.quackfiles.com
