To all the back neck and thoracic pain sufferers, It is common place to apply the remedy to the site of pain, or the source of pain, this can and does work but for those that have tried and are unsuccessful it is a good idea to look for the source of the stress upon the structure that is failing. If the tyres on your car wear unevenly you not only change your tyres but also correct the tracking! The body's equivalent could be the feet (podiatry), the pelvis (some form of physical therapy), muscle imbalance either strength or length (physiotherapy) the way you are sat right now, the height of your computer screen, the fact that you use a lap top too much, your vari-focal glasses and the list goes on. My message is if you don't find what you want in one place look in another, the problem could be extrinsic not intrinsic!
