Chiropractor recalls struggle to practice

FALMOUTH — When it comes to dangerous occupations, chiropractors would not usually be at the top of the list.

But 45 years ago this month, Malcolm Macdonald of Falmouth found himself on trial — facing steep fines and even potential jail time — for practicing medicine without a license, because chiropractic was illegal in Massachusetts.

Macdonald, now 79, graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1951 and returned to his hometown of Falmouth the following year to become Cape Cod’s second chiropractor.

But Massachusetts was one of four states — including Mississippi, Louisiana and New York — in which practicing chiropractic was against the law.

The Steel Onslaught Continues

If you live near Nashville, TN and think you are smelling the aroma of molten lava streaming down the side of a volcano, that is actually the smell of Red Nails being melted with hand power by the Iron Tamer Dave Whitley.

The Top 5 Best Lower Back Exercises

While the lower back may be the easiest part of your back to acquire mass, it is also the easiest to injure. Think about all of the people with factory jobs spending all day picking up heavy boxes. These people will have very developed backs from doing this all day and they aren’t even weight lifters or bodybuilders.

The way people get injured isn’t necessarily the injured. I swear, you hear people all the time say all this shit about deadlifts being bad. This could not be further from the truth. It is the way you perform the exercise. If you pick the bar off the ground with your back rounded like crazy, then yeah, of course you are going to get injured.
