how are three things bad, but one thing good?

i’m confused…

…a few weeks ago i started with a new chiropractor to try and fix what ails me. it was the typical first visit – lots of exploratory poking and prodding, about half a dozen x-rays, and then i was placed on a mechanical spinal decompression machine where they elongated my spine three and a half inches, and while i didn’t feel much of a difference when i walked out, i did about an hour later when i got home, which was cool.

so i was really excited for my appointment last week. even though the good feeling from the first one had only lasted twenty-four to forty-eight hours, it had been there.

this time around we did a review of all the images, then a chiropractic adjustment, then the decompression machine, followed by a TIMS machine (or however you spell those electrode thingies). and this time it was almost no relief. none. and i’m wondering what changed, or if i’m just getting beyond repair.

i guess time will tell, but i’m really getting tired of this limiting my lifestyle, which, in my opinion, isn’t that high demand in the first place!
