My daughter ended up having an operation on her spine in Bordeaux (!) 3 years ago, which did nothing except drain her bank account. She's been pain-free since consulting her (and now my) acupuncturist in Limoges. He's a doctor, so the usual payment systen applies (carte vitale, etc.). Dr Jenvrin, boulevard Louis Blanc.
That is interesting, thank you for the suggestion. OH's problem is a chipped disc (from a fall in his 20's), leading to degenerative spine disease. I may find the right moment to suggest acupuncture, but a) He's a bloke, b) He's a stubborn bloke, and c) He's a bloke!!!
