I have recently discovered that there are many different types of chiropractors. But I don't see how private health funds still classify chiropractors under 'alternative medicine'. No one has raised an eyebrow when I mention I go to the chiro, and I know so many people who go! I think that its time that chiropractor's were taken off the alternative list and given a place of their own. They're expensive, and Medibank Private hardly give me anything back. Today the first appointment with my new chiro was $100, and Medibank are so cheap, they only paid $31. Like a really bad date, haha! My new chiro is a neurological chiropractor. Apparently there are two or 3 main types of chiropractors. I am learning so much!
It sucks though, cos you should be able to use money from things I don't use - dentures, etc, to things I use way more - chiros.
Anyway, it turns out I'm broken/messed up. Already knew that. As soon as he looked at my x-rays he was like, ugh, oh man. Etc. I'm used to it now! He also made me do these balance things on some machine which measures which way I sway and lean easiest, haha! Turns out I don't like leaning backwards, or to the right. So this means I tend not to take overhead catches as I might not land. Oh dear. But yeah, I guess I wouldn't be a very good footy player! He also suggested I defend with my left arm when playing Netball as I'll probably be able to reach further. Interesting. I will give it a burl.
Also, my tense jaw is apparently TMJ probably to do with my neck.
But one good thing to come out of this is that it would be so much worse if I didn't have good abs. He called them "rock-hard" yesss! lol. So I have to do some exercises on a fit ball and go back next week for some kneading back into place! Hopefully I'm on the road to recovery!
