'Congratulations on your FIRST... chiropractic adjustment'

I thot the title might give some of u a shock, so i tried....Haha....

Anyway, this was exactly wad the doctor told me after cracking (not like fracture, like chinese sinseh kinda tui-na, wadever) my mid back and neck. Chiropractic refers to specialising in spinal alignment and tries to correct vertebral subluxation.

Subluxation: when ur spine is not locked in a correct position causing possible nerve damage or posture problem.

*The above is my vv own explanation, which in no ways should be vv medically correct.

Okie, gg back to the chiro session. After taking several fotos of my postures and viewing the X-rays of my entire spine, it was found that i had subluxation at my neck, mid-back and lower back, which caused....

Neck: Stiff muscles at upper back and 'frozen' shoulders
Mid-back: Pain when pressing on muscle near the spine
Lower back: Unequal height of pelvis - soreness in legs after strenous activities (eg. housework)

Dr. David explained it was not as bad as the X-ray seem and there is still hope. So we headed to the stretching and exercising area to do my FIRST CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT. He was like telling me it will not be painful and stuff and *CRAACKKK* I felt like a thousand elephants (ok, maybe juz 1 fat man/woman) had juz sat on me and bounced back up. I nv ever expected my back to have produced that kinda crunch. Followed by my neck being nearly twisted twice, once in each lateral direction. And i tell u, it feels GOOD!!!

I wonder if u all had the experience, but i often like to crack my joints, and when they dun produce sounds, i get disappointed. At the chiro session, it was like a series of joints being loosen up. Like, SHIOK lah! Well, but shiok costed $75....

According to the doc, I will be able to get my spine adjusted to its optimal position in a shorter period as i'm still not vv old yet and i will be able to go back to my regular activities. Yeah, beach volley!!! but if i do not correct it, it will lead to deformation of my vertebrates, inability to move painlessly and POOR HEALTH.......

So i'm gg back tomorrow for my solutions report, when i will need to sign a package of God-knows-how-much (machiam spa pkg). I'll keep all of u posted on how it all goes. If it's good, maybe everybody can get adjusted to a healthier body. =)
