About 3 months ago, I was on my back and down for the count.
I had a Sciatic nerve problem which stemmed from bone misalignment
and lower back muscle strain. I wouldn't wish the kind of pain I went
through on someone who was trying end my life (well maybe that's not
true
). It was excruciating and totally debilitating. When I say I was on
my back, I mean exactly that! I could walk about 40 feet before falling to
my knees in unbearable pain and I couldn't stand for no more than
15 seconds. I couldn't sleep because there was no relief regardless the
position I tried to lay in. It was bad and it was like that for 4 weeks.
The chiropractor could barely touch me the first visit.
He told me that over the years of just going through everyday life, your
body takes some serious abuse. From the time that we're kids into adulthood:
Running, jumping falling, twisting bending, lifting, etc. Sitting a lot and playing
the drums over the years hasn't helped either. That's why a good drum throne
is PARAMOUNT! All that takes it's toll on the spine over time and we should have
our backs maintenanced regularly.
When the spine is out of whack and putting pressure and stress on any of the
nerve branches that stems from the spinal cord, it causes problems in other
areas of the body as well. I was going to the Chiropractor twice a week for a
couple of weeks then once a week for a month, then once every two weeks
and I'm at once every three weeks right now. The plan is to get one visit a
month for regular adjustments and maintenance.
This website is cool, but I say take care of yourself simply as a person.
When the body goes down there's not much we can do until we get it right.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES!!!
