About the Author
DISCLAIMER

This book is intended primarily for the person who knows little, if anything, about chiropractic and wishes to learn about this valuable form of health care. It is not meant to be a textbook; however, there are some technical references presented which were too important to omit. These have been included in the end notes for further research if you wish. All of the stories cited are real, although most of the names have been changed to protect the patients' identities and dignity. You should not try to diagnose yourself or use any of the therapies presented here without the advice and/or supervision of your chiropractor. Finally, you should go only to a licensed, Board-approved doctor of chiropractic for care. Any treatment regimes are between you and your doctor. Neither the author nor publisher can be held liable for any therapies rendered.
