For me I have found that a monthly trip to the Chiro will keep everything in balance to eliminate the back episodes. If I would just do the stretching/exercise the chiro recommends I would probably not need the chiro treatments at all.
For those that have back issues, you know what works for you and what doesn't. Good suggestions from everyone and has given me additional things to ask my Chiro about next time I go.
As with most things prevention of back issues is much better than any cure (treatment). If I had only known 30 yrs ago what I know now!
