241. Chiro Sway

I have had the most intense and horrifying tension headache for the past 14 hours.  No amount of salonpas patches, alieve, hot water bottles, or sleep could make it subside.  In a last ditch effort to make it go away, I opted to go to the chiropractor today.  I'm not a fan of the sound of cracking bones, in fact it makes me nauseous, however, I was desperate.   Lucky me I got an appointment right away and it was close by so I ran up the hill in no time.

After a few minutes of awkward and painful twists and pokes I heard the most disgusting 5 cracks echo in my ear.  I almost threw up on the doctor.  I guess I was holding in a lot of tension in stress (really?! you think?!?).  The doctor fixed me right up

My inspiration of the day comes from what he actually said after he was done cracking me back into place... "Sometimes it's not a surface issue.  70% of the time it stems from within."  He knew there was something else going on to cause the tension and he recommended I learn to relax and try to unravel my mind every night.  Otherwise, I'd have to come back on a daily and my insurance does not cover that. lol.  Good observation doc; I'm working on it!
