![]() I think it is because he has much more muscle mass around his vertebrae to cushion the adjustment, and he probably did not tense up like I did before the regular chiropractic treatment. My husband did not understand why the regular chiropractic care did not work as well with me as they did with him. I did not feel good for at least a day and had to take ibuprofen. While the regular chiropractic care worked, I had to wait for the swelling to go down in my muscles around my vertebrae. With the alternative chiropractic care, I did not hear popping of vertebrae, nor did I feel tense before having the chiropractic activator applied to my vertebrae. The Difference Between the Regular Chiropractic Care and the Alternative Chiropractic Care Once again, I heard the loud pop in my neck. Once again, the chiropractor had to sooth me into a relaxed state. I instantly tensed up with visions of Rambo snapping an enemy’s neck. Then he leaned my head to the side and was about to adjust my neck. He asked, “Are you all right?” I assured him I was fine, just surprised. My eyes must have nearly popped out of my head, too, at the sound. I could actually hear the loud popping of my vertebrae as they were adjusted back into place. He held my hip and shoulder and pushed in opposite directions. First, he had me lie on my side and put my leg over in front. The chiropractor was a nice man who tried to sooth me, but he was as big as my husband. First, I was tense and found it hard to relax for the physical manipulations. My experience with the regular chiropractor did not work out as well for me as my husband’s and my alternative chiropractor’s experiences had for them. I chose a chiropractic clinic that had a great reputation. She said she had both a regular and an alternative chiropractor. My alternative chiropractor encouraged me to try the regular chiropractor, too. He has always used a regular chiropractor, and he feels just as good as I do after adjustments with my alternative chiropractor. My husband is a tall, muscular man who has exercised and physically worked hard all his life. Google Images Regular Chiropractic ServicesĪfter choosing to go to an alternative chiropractor and feeling wonderful each time I left and having to go less and less, I decided to try a regular chiropractor - mainly out of curiosity. Our spine connects every nerve in our body I will say that it is well worth the money to feel better if you do have to pay for the visits. Check with your insurance, they might pay for it. No headache or back pain or feeling dizzy the pain was gone. After 10 minutes of lying with localized massagers on my neck and low back, I felt like a million bucks. ![]() Still on my stomach and face down, she asked me to put my ankles together again and to hold tight. A quick push on my hips caused the table to drop making my body flat. She then instructed me to put my knees together with my ankles up, again, but to let my feet fall naturally to the sides. As she was doing this, she informed my tailbone was out, probably from sitting on hard surfaces like wooden chairs and bleachers. She adjusted the table to barely lift my lower body up at the hips. She told me to move to another table and to lie face down again. She easily did pull them apart, and I felt a familiar pain in my low back. I did as she asked thinking she would not be able to pull them apart. She asked me to bend my knees so my ankles would be at a 90 degree angle with my body and to hold them together as hard as I could so she could try to pull them apart. The only thing I heard was the click of the activator. My headache was instantly gone, and the activator felt like a quick flick to each vertebrae. To my great surprise and relief, she used the activator to adjust my C5 vertebrae in my neck then on several of my lower back vertebrae. I was still wary and prayed first that it wouldn’t hurt then that I would not end up on some surgeon’s table. Then she told me she was going to use the chiropractic activator to adjust my vertebrae. ![]() She said she could tell where my alignment was out by the position of my feet, whether one was higher or lower to the other. Again, I am thinking, Really? I asked her how she could tell anything by moving my ankles around, up and down and to the side. She had me lie face down on a table then while holding my ankles, she directed me to place my hands in different places alongside or across my body and back.
