just an FYI re Chiropracter

NUCCA trained chiros are best as they dont whack ya around but do very gentle pressure treatments etc. They specialize in cervical area (www.nucca.org)

My son has learned that sometimes being "out" in the vertebra can actually trigger more tics. Once the doc carefully aligns the spine, both the pain and the tics seem to reduce.

and a good chiro will always take x-rays and not manipulate/adjust anything that requires orthopedic etc. The NUCCA trained ones just seem tohave that extra measure of care, we have found

Moi, have you ever tried soaking in epsom salts baths? (2 cups epsom salts in warm tub water) It really does seem to take the edge off waxing tics etc for many

hope you are seeing your doc and getting xrays/tests etc

praying for waning
