Back in February, I had a little accident involving a large patch of ice and a fall. Ouch! I really did a number on my back and it laid me up for a while. Eventually, I realized that the pain meant that I had done more to my back than simply bruising it so I made an appointment to see the Chiropractor that Mike has been going to for a number of years.
One of the reasons that we chose the practice that Mike had been going to was that they are wonderful and profession and professional people. What had impressed me was how they look at their clients and their treatments in a "life encompassing way" (i.e. holistically). They even have an optional program for consciously living a healthy life called Bonfire Health.
So rather than making an appointment to be adjusted to take care of the problem/symptoms from my slip&fall, I decided to see them and set up a "correction plan" so I could work on the symptoms AND learn what I should be doing to be healthier.
I've been going for about 6 weeks now and it's been pretty amazing. My posture is better, no more neck aches, I grind my teeth a lot less, and the most amazing thing - no more insomnia! Apparently my back had been so out of whack for years that it interfered with my sleeping and relaxation. Honestly, that never occurred to me as a reason for my insomnia. Afterall, my posture wasn't great but it wasn't THAT bad either.
The health update?
Just a little bit of adjustment in how I sit, some conscious awareness of what I do with my neck and head when driving, and some simple exercises to strengthen my core. Amazing. Just from those little changes, I notice that I sleep better, I ache less, and I have more energy. In short, I feel fantastic!
It's the little things in life...
