I remember my first visit to a chiropractic clinic was memorable one.  At first, before going to the clinic, I was very nervous.  It is because of misconceptions such as chiropractors can hurt us or even can kill us.  I am afraid of neck adjustments because I've seen in karate movies that an actor is snapping someone's neck and killing them. The chiropractor too might snap our neck, which results to killing us. Also I think it is a normal thing for everybody that if its first time, just like in my case, I was afraid because I don't know what will happen in that session.  But during the time when the doctor was interviewing me with my problem, I was beginning to feel comfortable. Then he started doing some adjustments with me.

Because of stress and fatigue, I was sick for months and experiencing muscle and joint pains in my back, neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists. Every morning it is like I am always having a bad stiff neck.  But after my first session with the chiropractor, right away my pain in the neck was gone.  No more stiff neck and I can move my neck to the sides both right and left. This is what makes me amazed with my first visit with a chiropractor.

After 3 days, slowly pains at my back were gone.  After having 5 sessions with my chiropractor, joint pains at my shoulders, elbows and wrists were also diminishing.  If I will gauge it from 1 to 10, the pain is in 5 then slowly going down.

If we want to have a healthy life to the most, of course we need to have a proper exercise, a good diet, proper sleep, positive mental attitude and a new addition to my list, a regular visit to a chiropractor. Because chiropractic is a method of keeping the body working well by eliminating interference to the nervous system's control of normal function.  Many people think that chiropractic is just for taking care of neck pain and back pain because chiropractic has shown to be excellent for pain relief. But there are more benefits in chiropractic than just relief. Its true value is in improving overall performance. It improves ones reflexes and allows the organ systems to function efficiently.  With chiropractic, it can help us the best that we can be.  As what Thomas Edison said " The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will educate his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
