adventures in self-care

after fighting most of my life to not go to a chiropractor, i finally went. this morning. its weird. my father has gone most of my life, and many people i know go, but i never knew why. until recently…. my back had been hurting to the point that i didn’t know what else to do. i went to my doctor, i went to a massage therapist, i did the exercises they gave me, but it didn’t help. and finally, i went to see dr. dan

he explained to me how closely related all parts of the body were. i had know this for some time, but i actually got an education and now have a much more profound respect for chiropractors. the nerves of our body control everything! those nerves go through the spine and if your spine is out of wack, you could go down the road of disease and further problems with your body. that massive bone structure going from your base of your back to the top of your head is the mecca of your body. it wasn’t until i was standing there, staring at the xray of MY spine, ribs, and neck that i realized all the things going on inside me that i never take a moment to think of.

after some tough adjustments, cracking noises that made me nauseous and ice paks that i am applying now, i am excited to get my spine “back in shape”.

take care of yourself…
