There are several "schools" of chiropractic which vary in how much stock
they put into manipulation for everything. Yours used standard physical
therapy techniques ("modalities" in the jargon)which was totally appropriate
for the problem; however, I didn't understand the comment on radiation. If
he/she used x-rays for deep heat treatment, get the h-ll out of that
practice. That technique was popular with MD's until people started to
develop some very terrible diseases about 30 years after treatment
(including my dad)!

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).
