I don't see where it's a problem

I don't see where it's a problem. The Internet demonstration showed it to be a gentle manipulation and they didn't go anywhere near the PM implant site. It appears to be much less stressful than the standard bone cracking I've had done. Having said that, I'm not a doctor, nor chiropractor so I don't know if there would be any stresses put on the PM or leads.

The only thing with which I had concerns was the head rocking using the table. It looked OK, but without knowing how it feels I'm not really sure. It could be putting a lot of stress on the areas where the leads go under the clavicle. Didn't look that way but until I've had it done, can't say.

I'm much more in favor of licensed massage therapists and have said so many times on the forum. Key words being licensed and therapy. No sudden snapping. Just working on muscles to make them stop cramping.

I was seeing chiropractors for back pain. I'd get relief but would be back in tied up like a pretzel. Saw a massage therapist. She said if she'd work on the muscles that were causing the back pain, I wouldn't need to see the chiropractor. Once I learned which muscles were the trigger muscles, I haven't had to go back to a chiropractor.

I was getting neck spasms on the left side. The only thing I could think was the leads going into the heart were triggering the spasms. Had the massage therapist work on neck and shoulder muscles while avoiding the PM site. She was able to get rid of the spasms.

We have people on the forum who swear by chiropractors. I'm in favor of my massage therapist. Ultimately the choice is yours.
