Now I know why all my photos are crooked

I started seeing a chiropractor this week.  I’ve had a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders in the last few months.  I haven’t slept well, couldn’t turn my head very well to the right, my hands and fingers were numb and tingling, my throat sore from the sinus drip, and was having headaches every day.  Chris started going about 2 months ago for a lot of the same things and now he is feeling great with all of his symptoms gone.

I had xrays done last week and they showed quite a bit of misalignment.  My right shoulder and hip are dropped and my head sits off to the right and turns to the left my almost 2 inches.  My neck is off to the right, my mid back to the left and my lower back to the right.  My hips are also turned to the left.  My head sits forward 5 degrees on my neck, although it’s supposed to curve back 35-45 degrees.  Basically I’m not aligned anywhere.  Now I know why my all my photos are crooked!

I go to the chiropractor 3x a week for the next 8 weeks.  I also have to do some ab stabilization exercises on an exercise ball, go to yoga and pilates to strengthen my core and increase my flexibility, and then do low impact cardio by walking, on an elliptical or a stationary bike.

I had 3 adjustments this week on M/T/W and I haven’t had any daily headaches.  I can turn my head with no pain and my hands aren’t tingling.  Of course we’ll see how I feel on Sunday when the chiropractor’s adjustment gets pulled out of alignment due to muscle memory.  I’m happy to see some small improvement and can’t wait until it’s more permanent!
