Back pain and injuries
International Authorities; are asserting that back pain may be costing New Zealand more money than strikes,: and in one year alone, the ioss of wages was $23 million, with the annual cost to;the nation amounting to $141.5 million.
This tragedy is heightened by the fact that much of this loss may be prevented. Chiropractic — the adjustment of the human spine — has been practised since 1895 and in N.Z. for nearly 70 years. It is now a “household” word in relation to relief for spinal pain, whether in the neck, thoracic or lumbar-pelvic regions. Inserted in the public interested by the Craigs Chiropractic Clinics, Room 18, Regent Blds, and 8 Latimer Square (Phone 62-299 and 67-674). Advertisement.
