One study showed that MDs, DCs and a pamphlet on back care were all equally effective.

i can't emphasize that pamphlet enough.  i see oodles of patients with hurt backs. most of them are no big deal as long as there is no nerve involvement (shooting pains, weakness, loss of control of bowel or bladder)  it does help to have a physician check this out to make sure (promoting my business a bit ;D)   most back injuries can be treated with mild exercises and prevented with exercises like yoga, pilates, swimming etc. 

but do not lay around.. inactivity is the enemy when it comes to your back.

Haven't decided what to brew yet.  Guess I'd better decide and get some yeast going!

Rather than brew something that is 1.060, brew something 1.120, for the next 60 years :)

60 more years?  I dunno if I can stand that!

Graham, be sure to let us know what happens with your back.

I hurt my back about 10 years ago bending over to pick my socks up off the floor.  I went to a chiropractor and felt amazing after that first visit.  The next day I went again and was barely able to climb in my truck so I never went back.  Very light exercise and lots of treadmill time fixed me in about a week and the injury never came back
