With reference to the article, Putting your back into helpful therapy, published in the October 19 edition of the Epsom Guardian.

It was good to read that an osteopathic school has been established in Surrey and that care is available for people with musculoskeletal pain.

However, I was very annoyed to read that apparently chiropractors concentrate on the spine. More than 50 per cent of the individuals attending my clinic have musculoskeletal dysfunction outside of the spine.

The four year medical study of a chiropractor concentrates not only on the spine but all the joints in the body.
