Took my first trip to the chiropractor on Monday.
I've had problems with my lower back for, oh, a year and a half (no thanks to my trusty yoga ball), but I never bothered doing anything about because, well, chiropractors have a stigma and I may have had a faint fear of becoming paralyzed.
BUT, I figured I should have a go at it while I have good insurance and before I start working full time. So I went.
Wasn't so bad. I felt like I was on America's Next Top Model when the doc had me walking up and down the hallway so he could study my stride (which, apparently, I do wrong. Whoops). I did some weird strength tests and, at the end, bent body and legs in weird directions so I could be "popped" (I think I only actually "popped" once, though). Now I have silly exercises to do until my second visit on Friday. Something about an SI joint. Makes reading on my stomach a muy bit difficult.
...and I just remembered I have a Dove chocolate in my purse that the receptionist gave me. SCORE. *runs away*

I've never been to the chiropractor but my dad has had some luck with them. Hope it helps you.

ReplyDeleteIf I chase you down, will you share?
Just as with any profession, there are good ones and bad ones, but I have friends who swear by them. Hope you feel better soon.
Score!!!!! Man, you're in Idaho? Ship some down to me! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck... :/
I wish I could afford to go more often. I'd never been until my second pregnancy, when things started doing things they shouldn't.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy I came across your blog! I was just recommended the best chiropractor in Danvers, MA but have been too scared to call and make an appointment! I have some serious issues but what it comes down to is getting paralyzed! I am petrified! Please update us about tomorrows visit and maybe it will give me enough of a boost to go see one myself. Thanks for sharing.

I'm getting ready to go to the chiro myself. I definitely need some help :) I'm one stiff puppy from sitting at my desk all day.
