I was feeling blah. There is just no better way to put it. I used to be quite active, but I had gotten pretty sedentary with my new office job. I was sitting more than anything, so I attributed it to that. I decided to make myself become more active, but I had a hard time getting up the energy to do much of anything. It was not that I was tired. It just felt like I had no energy. A good friend told me I needed to see a Round Rock chiropractor, but I disagreed.

I told her that I had not hurt myself in any way, as that was the only reason I thought people went to see this kind of doctor. She told me that people go for all kinds of reasons, and accidents and injuries are just two of them. Read More

I used to ride horses when I was a kid, but that has been a really long time ago. My grandfathers both had horses and every summer I would go up to Kentucky to see them. One of them would sometimes have a pony, usually a Welsh pony or a Shetland pony when I was really little and of course it is a lot easier for a child to ride a pony instead of a horse that seems huge to him. At any rate I just got back from seeing a Phoenix chiropractor who had to fix my back for me. At first I went to see a doctor, but they only gave me x rays and mended all of the cuts and bruises that I had after that horse threw me into a fence. It was not that much fun at first and I was walking around like a character from that Monty Python sketch until I got fixed up.

At any rate it all started out a lot of fun. The people I was visiting had some quarter horses and they were a blast to ride. They had been trained to barrel race and they were really good at it. Read More

For the longest time, I did not sleep good at night. I might catch a few quality hours of sleep, but it was never enough for me. Most people were sleeping between six and eight hours every night, and they felt refreshed and ready to tackle the day. I was getting less than half of that, and to put it bluntly, I was just flat out tired. I woke up with no energy, and sometimes it felt like I was sleepwalking through the days. That all changed when I went to see a Pleasanton chiropractor though.

I had told my doctor that I was at wit’s end with not sleeping a lot. I was not able to take a nap throughout the day, and sleeping pills made me feel too sick. He said that the best course of action would be to find out why I was not sleeping, and he is the one who told me I should see a chiropractor. I was so desperate for answers, and I readily agreed to this. If I would have thought about it though, I might have wondered how a chiropractor can help with sleep issues!

It turns out that a chiropractor can do a lot of things for a person. Read More

A mysterious problem in my back was identified by a chiropractor in Santa Rosa CA. The problem was associated with one of the discs in my vertebrae. In order to eliminate the problem, I had to have a procedure done. Although the end result of the procedure was a fully healthy back, I was scared to go through with it. I’m not the kind of person who takes the news of having to go through medical procedures well. I always think about the kinds of things that could go wrong during, even for something that is simple and non-invasive.

The chiropractor told me that it would be a standard procedure and I would have nothing to worry about, and my wife tried to do the same, but all I could think about was an accident. My wife thought I was being a little silly. She’s usually the first person to go to the doctor, and if she needs to have a medical procedure done, she’ll get it done right away, after having a second opinion. She always tells me that if you want to live a long time, you have to go to the doctor on a regular basis and pay attention to your body’s warning signs.

I had a choice between living with the problem in my back for the rest of my life, or getting the procedure done and never having to think about it again. At the request of my wife and the chiropractor, I put my fears behind me and went through with the procedure. It was pretty quick and nothing went wrong. After I was done healing from the procedure, my wife took me out to dinner to celebrate. Looking back on the whole experience now, it was pretty funny how I was acting like a big baby.

I was out walking my dog not long ago when he got loose. He jerked the leash really hard when he spotted a rabbit, and it knocked me on my behind. I hurt when I got up, and I was so thankful when he listened to me and came right back. I knew that we were going to have to work on his obedience training some more, but all I wanted at the moment was to go home and lie down. What ended up happening was I contacted my chiropractor in Redding to see if there were any openings for that same day.

I had to walk four blocks home from where he got loose. With each block that I endured, the pain got that much worse. Read More
