My First Chiropractic Experience

So here I was day six of back pain with no real end in sight. I have tried heat, ice, rest, stretching Tylenol...I was running out of ideas. Well last night at church as I was walking in my newly found "halfway up" position my friend told me about this chiropractor that is near our house. So being who I am I of course came home and googled her website and read through the whole thing and decided that I was indeed going to go today. There were a few things about her that I liked...she does not make appointments you just come in when you need (obviously between opening hours).....and she does not charge a set fee, there is simply a box on the wall (literally) and you put in the box whatever you can afford....being a mom of two small children BOTH of these things appealed to me. I woke up this morning and decided I was going to go when my husband got home so he could watch the kids (well Paige was the one I was worried about really) cause how in the world was I going to get my back looked at and try to keep an eye on kids. Well when my husband told me he wasn't going to be home until after 5:30...that seemed like light years away in "my back is KILLING me" time...so YOU KNOW it must have really been hurting me if I decided that I would take Paige with me. I was very worried about this, but at this point I didn't really care too much...so I let her sleep until 9 am so she wouldn't be tired...I packed her backpack full of toys and snacks and off we went. I didn't really know what to expect because I had never been to a chiropractor before, but when we got there the cutest and sweetest girl introduced herself and asked if Paige would like to play in the toy room while me and her visited...she had me at toy room....anyway I learned A LOT and after being adjusted I have my full upright position back!! This lady was the coolest person ever...her attitude and her spirit lit up the room...and when we were talking and Paige somehow found her way into the Dr's. office and into her purse to find AND eat her banana she wasn't even mad....but the coolest part of it all was that she is actually also a pediatric chiropractor and even adjusted Paige...or as she explained to Paige she got all the popcorn out of her body. She explained to me and showed me all the benefits of being adjusted even as young as Paige....and for the rest of the day Paige has walked around exclaiming..."My Popcorn's Gone"! I most certainly will be seeing Dr. Rachel again she was absolutely wonderful...and being able to stand up again is not too shabby either!
