Older Medicare patients with chronic low back pain and other medical problems who received spinal manipulation from a chiropractic physician had lower costs of care and shorter episodes of back pain than patients in other treatment groups.

Sitting here and thinking about how some people start from humble beginnings and achieve great success in their path through life. I have found that most successful people come from rural parts of the country, grew up poor, but rich in family and friends.
The people that I have met who were successful were honest, straightforward in their dealings and had perseverance. They didn’t just give up at their first disappointment.
Have you ever been in a situation that started out pleasant and then it changed into something bad? I had that almost happen when I worked Baptist Hospital.

1 Corinthians 15:19 KJV [19] If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

Whatever pleasure he desired upon earth he had the finances to make it happen.
