Tom - somewhere either on here or on recaro's website is instructions on how to properly sit in your recaro seat. That reading might be helpful to you. I have a horrible back and the seats in the VX are my favorite. On the note of a chiropractor. They for sure can give you long time relief, if you find the right one that is. Most these days have turned into a internal medicine doctor when it comes to healing. An internal medicine doctor or your normal doctor as you may call it only prescribes you with medicines to cover up the pain not cure (only thing they prescribe that cures is anti-biotics, and even those are changing at the hands of the drug mfg's), thus making their client base return customers. This is now apparent in the last 10 years and spreading in the chiro world. They to now give a generalized healing process in order to make you a returning customer. Even some of the tools they use are set up that way. This is because Chiro's really do have the ability to cure you but then after the cure your not paying them anymore on a monthly basis. So the point is go find one that gives a better hands on unique to the client approach, and never settle for one that pops your back on one of those breakaway tables.......If anyone ever has any questions concerning chiro's, complementary and alternative medicine/hollistic, and intergrative medicine approaches, my pm box welcomes you.
