Indication means a reason to do something, and contra means against. So a contraindication is a reason to not do something.
In terms of medications, it is the term for reasons a certain medication cannot be used.
It is also important to remember there are two different types of contraindications, absolute and relative. In an absolute contraindication the medication cannot be given to that patient. In relative contraindications, the doctor needs to carefully weigh the pros and cons, because though the medication has serious drawbacks, it may still be an overall benefit to the patient.

I have seen rapid progress with those recovering from injury, suffering from MS, fibromyalgia, and loss of range of motion. If properly done it almost always alleviates pain within the hour.
