Chiropracty uses many of the same principles as acupressure and acupuncture. 99% of what they do is massage and joint manipulation. The best thing that chiropracty has going for it is that it does not rely on drugs. Rather than giving a patient muscle relaxants, the chiropractor stretches the muscles. It hurts like all that is unholy, but it worked very well for me. Best of all, I learned all sorts of stretches and sleeping/sitting positions to help prevent any future problems.
