A study done by the Health Research Institute in Seattle found that back pain sufferers who received simulated acupuncture with toothpicks reported feeling better for significantly longer than people who had standard medical care. www.healthcom September 2009

This is of course nothing new. Countless studies on Chiropractic care have shown it to be superior to standard medical care for not only low back pain but for many musculoskeletal conditions.

So if there was no such thing as Chiropractic and my only choices were drugs and surgery, I'd have to say..."please pass the placebo".
