40. I recommend seeing
an osteopath. The are fully certified medical doctors but they take a more holistic approach to health care - and they do many of the same things as a chiropractor does - without selling you six years of adjustments for your supposed "subluxations". I speak from experience as I have had both. I'll stick with my DO (a doctor of osteopathic medicine).

When I throw my neck or back into spasm, my doctor hooks me up to what I lovingly call his electro-shock therapy machine for about 20 minutes. This causes the muscles to relax. Then he'll come in, and if necessary, do an adjustment. Side benefit - he also prescribes meds, checks my cholesterol and BP, is my sports med guru, etc, etc. You won't get all this with a chiropractor
