rather few chiropractors in this country, but mine actually did some
good for my tennis elbow (which he spotted while treating me for
`traditional' back trouble). tennis elbow (someone else has
mentioned) _is_ a tendonitis-type disease -- i presume this is
actually so?

however, treating a tendonitis to any sort of manipulation sounds
excruciating (and inevitably *wrong*) to me. it's certainly not what
my man did...he gave me a support strap, and some deep-heat treatment
(i forget what the radiation was supposed to be).
