First Visit to a Chiropractor

singularity6 · Pre-Black Belt

I just had my first visit to a chiropractor. I must say... I'm a convert! Initially, I went in due to a severe stiff neck. It started over the winter when my dad came up to visit. We went to check out the ice caves in Eben Junction, MI. A brutal snowstorm just passed through, and the trails had a mix of ice and fluffy, fresh snow. All I did was fall. After a couple weeks of suffering, I went to a doctor. Ibuprofen and muscle relaxors... Eventually things got a bit better, but I kept getting flareups. This time I decided to check with a chiropractor. I get in there, tell him my story, and then he tosses me up on the table. It turns out my pelvis was rotated a bit, I had a dislocated rib and 6 or 7 vertebrae were out of whack. The relief was almost instant. I'd say I'm about 60% or 70% better. That issue with the pelvis might have been causing me my hip issues, too. He mentioned that I might have been experiencing issues with my right hip being strained. He was right. I start sports-therapy on that this coming Monday!

A good bone crunching feels soooooooo good.

I'm going back for my second bone crunching, tomorrow. And a deep-tissue massage! I think it'll be nifty!
