Chiropractor reviews five factors for health

Chiropractic Dr. Neil Pai Tuesday made a pitch for people to take better care of themselves as a way to improve their health. He also reviewed chiropractic, accupuncture and other services offered by his practice.

He said five factors to good health were a positive mental attitude, rest, a good diet, exercise and a fully functioning nervous system.

Forum participants offered tales of back pain, the search for treatment and some satisfactory conclusions to those searches. There was even a testimonial to the massage of the right big toe to end hot flashes.

Pai said he graduated from N.C. State in 1994 and was a pharmaceutical company biochemist for some years. He pursued chiropractic in part because of what he learned when his mother was overmedicated for back pain. He also said that as a biochemist he was always told that the answer to any pain was one pill or another. "I just saw something wrong with that," he said.
