quick science-check
May. 19th, 2010 02:23 pmOh dear, I've become terribly confused by Ben Goldacre! I know that chiropractors are charlatans.. but are they the same thing as osteopaths, or is there a difference?
My upper back is painfully stiff. It's becoming difficult to find a comfortable position to sit in, and dancing at rehearsals is.. interesting?
Last time this was a major issue for me, I was living at home, and my parents paid for me to visit an osteopath, who seemed to clear the problem up. Was this the placebo effect, or the natural course of the pain - or should I be considering spending a not-insignificant amount of money on similar treatment this week? (Or should I just be popping ibuprofen and having lots of hot baths?)
