Chiropractor

At the recommendation of my friend Kirk (voted the top trainer in Michigan by Men's Journal), I went to see a Chiropractor yesterday. I've got a spot on my back that keeps popping out of whack when I workout and it's happening more and more frequently. I've always been of the mind that Chiropractors are nuts. Lots of people I know that use them seem to be really defendant on them to solve all of their problems, most of them non-skeletal, and then move on to not vaccinating their kids and hating antibiotics.

I went their yesterday, the doctor X-rayed my back, showed me what was going on (right around the T-4 vertabrae) and did some "adjustments", which translates to him cranking on my neck and spine to put whatever was out of alignment back into alignment. I've got to go three more times over the next two weeks in addition to having Kirk give me some exercises to strengthen this area. Between those two things, the claim is that it should go back and go back for good. Could all of this been diagnosed and fixed by a regular MD? Probably. We'll see how it goes after a couple of weeks.
