Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.

The Future of Drugs
Chiropractors have noted the public's ever-increasing interest in natural health care as an alternative to drugs and surgery. This trend has been growing for years. Consider this comment made a decade and a half ago by futurist Clement Bezold, PhD:
"The growing holistic health movement, which is based on the value of preventative or promotive health care, raises major questions about the assumptions underlying conventional medicine including drug therapy."SOURCE: The Future of Pharmaceuticals, Bezold, C., PhD. John Wiley & Sons, 1981.
