May 1: My back is messed up

I couldn’t walk again today so I finally went to see my brother at his chiropractic practice. He was nice enough to stay late to help me out. I found out my back is all twisty and there’s a little piece of one of my vertebrae that is broken off and just hanging out there. It’s probably been there since I was a kid, which is really fascinating. It’s not actually causing any harm, which is nice.

I’ve always been kind of skeptical of chiropractic, but I feel pretty confident that the work he did helped me feel better. I am still sore, but I can walk again without getting exhausted. Just that is amazing. I have a plan for stretching and adjusting for a potentially shorter leg.

I imagine I messed up my gait and my back when my foot hurt so badly for so long. I’m sure I was trying not to walk on the hurt side as much, kind of limping.

So I guess here’s my first endorsement of my entire blog: check out Dettling Chiropractic: www.brooklyncenterchiro.com. Paul is excellent at what he does.
