Balance and Disease

So, I'm finally feeling like my body's in some sort of order. I booked an early appointment at the chiropractor and for the first time in months I'm feeling some sort of progressive change in this ear-ache that has become more nagging then a distant relative. It really made me aware that ease and the flip-side of it, disease, are just that. If you're not letting the pathways in your body work at the ultimate efficiency then something as simple as a ear-ache can literally give unbalance to life.

Part of the challenge in finding a great chiropractor is in the details. I'm not one for the ones who go on rants about how the evil drug companies are spoiling lives and that drugs just mask the underlying "magic" that's in our nervous system. As much as I am a fan of magicians, when I have a pounding headache and can't get adjusted at the moment, I'm going to pop a pill for temporary relief.

The other part in the challenge is finding a practicioner who doesn't have a billion and a half gadgets to show you print out after print out of why I'm not feeling well. I know I'm not feeling well, something feels out. I don't need a spectro-diapameter print-out to show why.

My chiropractor is fantastic! She doesn't use any of the aforementioned, just some good old hand pressure and a massage "Thumper" to relax the muscles prior to the adjustment.

I highly recommend her to anyone.
