It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better

In counseling they always use this phrase, "It gets worse before it gets better." That basically means that when there is an area that needs work, you have to expose all the hurt before you can start healing. Apparently this is true with chiropractic care too. I went for my first visit today, and wow. I feel like I've been worked over. I have said for months that when I lay flat on my back I still feel like I'm crooked. People always give me the "you're weird, but I'm going to smile anyway" look. Turns out there is actually some kind of twist in my spine. I go back tomorrow to find out what the x-rays reveal. I'm sure 3 babies in 3 years hasn't been great on my back! On a funny note, I had a moment of feeling like Joey from "Friends." Remember the episode where the tailor is feeling him up and only later does he find out that's not normal and most tailors don't do that? I sort of felt like that when this man who is not my husband was practically laying on me trying to pop my back into place. Every chiropractor does that, right? Right???
