Adjustments...

Okay, so I have just started using a chiropractor for the first time in my whole 40-something (ahem) years of living. The reason for this sudden and wild change was a result of a woman's inability to text and drive at the same time... either that or she was off of her meds. Short version, she took a left turn at an intersection with oncoming traffic. Of which, I happened to be a passenger in said oncoming traffic... So after x-rays and strong advice from my attorney, off to the back-o-practor I went.

Let me just say, I was very pleasantly surprised with the staff, the professionalism of the doctor and mostly how much better I felt after my first visit. Wait...
Let me digress for a moment. Some of you may already know this but I have a nursing degree and occasionally (5-10 times per month, depending on how busy my schedule is...) I will work at one of the local LA or Ventura County Emergency Rooms as a registry nurse. A registry is like an employment agency only they are specifically for medical personnel staffing. Okay so as someone with a nursing education, I have developed a... distrust? for chiropractors. Mainly because most MD's will tell you not to see them. Anyway, back to my story...

So I was pleasantly surprised because I had this idea of chiropractors that was based on misinformation. My first adjustment was a little scary I have to admit but afterwards... I could literally feel my face relax. I have this bad habit of squinting. Mostly because I am supposed to be wearing glasses but I have been stubbornly fighting the whole "four eyes" thing since the second grade and I'll be damned if I am going to let go of such a life-long proclivity now even though I know my deeply defined crows feet are a direct result...

Basically I guess I am trying to say that back-crackers are good for wrinkles and MD's cause crows feet... well, sorta...
