Acupuncture, Chiropractors and therapeutic Massage: sources

[Sheryl]

The following is a list of sources for acupuncture/chinese medicine, chiropracty and therapeutic massage. It has been compiled from the reports of various TV members over the years. If you have any corrections or additions to suggest, please PM the Moderator.

Please note that in providing this information, TV is not endorsing these particular therapies nor the specific places listed. Members should research the pros and cons of them and proceed with reasonable caution. In particular, chiropractic treatment should not be undergone without a prior consultation with an orthopedic specialist and at minimum an Xray. Deep massage may also be risky if there are spinal problems or a fracture of any sort; if in doubt, consult an orthopedic specialist first to find out what types of manipulation are safe.
