At age 50 I sought chiropractic care to change a very head forward, poor posture condition that developed after a rear-ender auto accident some 20 years ago. Apparently I had slowly adopted a posture consistent with some cervical displacement that went undetected at the time of the accident. After a year of treatment, my head position was 1.5 inches further back, cervical vertebrae curvature restored, and periodically debilitating upper back/neck muscle spasms eliminated. The absolutely most important part of my maintenance treatment is faithful practice of daily foam wedge traction (20 minutes), easily accomplished watching Barry Bonds chase the major league HR record on TV.

As a chemist and Pre-Health Advisor at Santa Clara University, I find chiropractic to be a vital supplement to regular checkups with an MD. My wife and our 3 children are under maintenance care as well; it is especially helpful in assisting our 12-year old stay aligned for his Little League pitching duties.
