My body is messed up.
I think it started when I was in a car accident when I was about 12 yrs. old. That began my neck problems. Then, the night of my Senior Prom I was involved in another accident. (My date rear-ended friends while driving his mother's brand new BMW on the way to the dance. Good Lord. It was like a John Hughes movie.)
The older I get the harder I have to work to make my core strong. Having children taxed my body in ways it wasn't prepared for. A few years ago my back went out and I was immobile. I was so depressed! Here I was, in my late 30's and I felt like my body was 130. I could not move. Then... then I found my current Chiropractor. *Cue the angels singing*
I have gone to Chiropractor's since I was 12 and I have experienced many different techniques. There was one that had, now this is my interpertation, a plastic cone with a roller ball on one end that he would move over your body while rolling the ball. He said that this was picking up the areas of tension in the body so he knew where the source(s) of pain were. Are you kidding me?!? There was more silliness. I wasn't happy.
Then the glorious Dr. Dan came along. He really won me over when he told me "I don't want to see you". Meaning, I want to fix you, and send you on your way. Not the "Come and see me 3 times a week for 6 months" routine.
The last time I visited his office was June of 2008. (I can't believe that! Good for me.) When I showed up this morning he knew which side was out and what I was feeling before I said anything. *sigh* I love this guy.
I'm hurting from my adjustment right now, but I know I'll feel better very soon. A little Ibuprofen with a whiskey chaser works every time. kidding! well, kind of ;->
