If you have a headache caused by spinal mis-alignment you can go to a licensed medical professional and have that dealt with. If you have pain you can get a prescription for medication based on proper diagnosis and it WILL ease the pain. Alternative therapies are not effective at treating anything whatsoever. If they were, they wouldn't be alternative, they would be mainstream. Snake oil, top to bottom. I understand that people may wish that their doctor was more warm or personal (and I doubt that it's impossible to find a friendly doctor), but at the end of the day you go to a doctor to seek medical advice; not friendship. If he is a cold cog in the machine that is medicine, and his treatment is effective, bravo for the machine.
