I’m typing this from a room at the Hilton New Brunswick. I don’t mention this for any good reason except that it’s pretty cool that I don’t have to be on my home computer. That’s why I switched over to this new format – ease of use and mobility!<\/p>\n

But I die-gress. I’m talking about health. I’ve been thinking about the past year and how much healthier I think that I feel now that I’ve left New York. I’ll write much more about that soon, but for now I’ll just mention that Back-Pack Back and New Jersey Transit Neck are feeling much better but not 100%…. so I’m going to a Chiropractor.<\/p>\n

For those who haven’t… the process goes like this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find a practitioner that accepts your insurance. This could be harder than it sounds.<\/li>\n
  2. Visit said practitioner, fill out lots of paperwork & watch videos that use the word “Chiropractic” as a Noun.<\/li>\n
  3. Go get X-Rays of affected area. You may have to fight to find a Radiology place that takes your insurance.<\/li>\n
  4. Return to Chiropractic specialist with exposed X-Ray sensitive sheets in hand.<\/li>\n
  5. Watch another video explaining terms associated with your suffering (like “degenerative” & “subluxation”)<\/li>\n
  6. Chiropractor explains your condition using terms from above video.<\/li>\n
  7. The honeymoon is over! Your joints will now be adjusted, turned, twisted & realigned & positioned as necessary.<\/li>\n
  8. Your body rebels against the newly positioned joints and slide back into their wrong positions.<\/li>\n
  9. You return to the expert practitioner for re-re-alignment.<\/li>\n
  10. Repeat steps 7 through 9 until terms learned in step 5 no longer apply.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’m stuck in the steps 7-9 loop at the moment but I can feel a difference. It’s been many years since I was able to fully turn my head to the side though I hadn’t realized it until just last week.<\/p>\n

    That’s about all for my quick health update. Oh, and to answer the question you’re thinking of asking… yeah it makes popping\/cracking noises! That’s perfectly normal… its just pieces of your spine snapping off and entering your blood stream. Nothing to worry about at all!<\/p>\n
