So yesterday I made my first visit to the chiropractor - pronounced (crack-your-backer). The reason? Neck pain, back pain, knee pain, hand pain. I joked with the nurse that at least my earlobes weren't hurting at which she pointed out that they looked out of alignment and with one touch snapped them in 138 places. I never realized that just how out of whack I was.
The office looked nice, clean paint, cherry furniture, 'how could pseudo-medicine pay for all of this stuff?" I wondered?
I have to say that I was and am still somewhat skeptical of this dare I say "medicine"? I just don't have much experience with the art and practice of chiropracty, did I just make up a word? Webster's please note 09-09-09 as the first use of chiropracty. This and many of the things that the Dr. did yesterday really had me intrigued...like turning my muscles on that were off or not working?
After three hours of back, hip, and neck cracking, x-rays, traction, and ultrasound, I woke this morning much much sorer than I have been but looser which is a good sign...I think.
Anyway, I have another appointment tomorrow and will continue with the therapy for a while to see if this will help.
