37 glasses of water a day keep the "doctor" away

I have a bad back. That's been an unfortunate truth about me since before high school. I joke a lot about my incessant need to fidget, but it comes from back trouble, not restlessness. It's a combination of some predisposition, weight, boobs, posture, and lifestyle. It comes and goes in seriousness and I ebb and flow in how much I take care of ( Read more... )

Holistic healing is bullshit in the same way that religion is bullshit.

What was he saying about them molecular structure of hemoglobin? Is he going to do something with energy to you hemoglobin molecules?

Not that I am against chiropractors for actual problems with alignment and shit.. but when they start talking about subluxations in your energy signature or whatever.. give me me a fucking break. Even my cat saw a chiropractor.. and it did work, but not on his chakras or anything.

I'm not a vet yet so I don't know if cats have chakras ;)

Also, since you have badass medical coverage, you should go to a good chiropractor! The really smart French Canadian vet used to use Dr. Cohen in Shadyside: http://www.jcohenassoc.com/index.html

To be fair, he did not try to adjust my energy and the reference to my chakras was so brief that I would not have caught it without prior knowledge and interest.

Like many forms of treatment I believe that chiropractors have their place. I use them as you do when I believe that an adjustment can help. There are good ones and bad ones. Looks like this one did what was needed for you at the time.

I'm not saying that yours was trying to milk the system but I found that the last one I used seemed to do so. I also believe that for my back that stretching did the best for me once I was no longer in excessive pain. Yoga sounds good. Go with your gut.

Do you really only fidget because of your back? That makes the jokes less funny! :/ I mean, we're probably still going to scream "fiiiidget" either way. But I thought, while I knew you had a bad back (and bad knees which also lead you to fidget I'm sure) ...you also were a 'fidgeter'. I mean, maybe that's a chicken and an egg thing going on ( ... )
