January 24, 2016

I am probably the worst patient a Doctor could have.  Cancelling appointments, only going through with a portion of the required testing, rarely filling a prescription given, next to no follow up.  I am not proud of it, I just do not like admitting a problem. 

Recently a dull nagging shoulder pain seemed to have persisted for about a month.  My wife booked an appointment with a sports therapist that she had visited and had very good success. I had my doubts, but following the meeting he tested my strength in various positions, and with a bit of pressure in just the right place the shoulder injury subsided. 

Now I am pretty sceptical about a fix that could be as simple as a two minute meeting, but the pain is gone. According to his explanation, two vertebrae in my neck were out which had pulled my upper rib out of place putting pressure into the shoulder. He replaced all said bones into the proper slots, and so far it has made an entire difference.  I have never had results this instant with any consultation with a chiropractor, acupuncture, or otherwise.  It reiterated the importance of proper maintenance of our bodies in the care of people that know something about it.


With that being said, I am hopeful that the fix will allow for ramped up practice and training coming in light of the upcoming News Years ceremony.
