Chiropractics

CHIROPRACTICS IS OW! I honestly don't know what possessed me to allow somebody to put me face down on a table and pound on me like a 500 pound gorilla, but it was not a bright choice.

Funnily enough, chiropractics happens to be something they invented in the town here in Iowa I am currently living in, so I did it because someone suggested it in an effort to be helpful in quitting my caffeine habit by getting the stuff out of my system faster, plus I figured if there were really a place I'd be safe having someone work on me, it would surely be the place they invented it ( I now fully realize that this was a very stupid idea. ). Supposedly this sort of thing is supposed to help get rid of bodily toxins and put your spine in proper alignment, but as far as I can tell judging by the feeling in my back, the guy who did it didn't so much realign my spine, as just plain remove it ( Coincidentally, while one would think this is a problem, you have to realize I spend most of the day sitting in a chair working so it's not like I need a spine to hold me up. ). I'm sure if it ever grows back I'll feel a lot better, although in the meanwhile I may have to learn to slither along the floor. But that's the price I have to pay for getting rid of my bodily toxins and ditching the caffeine. And so far despite the loss of my spine it does seem to be helping in regards to the caffeine issue ( Not being able to get up to go get anything has that effect on you. ). I am after all actually being coherent, which is something I would not have expected at this point ( Er, except for that first sentence at least. ).
