[FRIAM] Chriopracter(sp) what takes insurances?

[Frank Wimberly]

My lower back pain has almost completely disappeared since I've been
playing tennis three days a week.  Ironically, I think it's from bending
over to pick up balls rather than from running and striking the ball.  On
the other hand, some of the other elders that I play with have been injured
by falls, etc.

Oh well,

Frank
