Not sure, but at the time, the doc was explainin' that said paralysis danger of my condition, and my wife said "So I shouldn't palm-smack him in the forehead for a while?".
Jup, that's the kind of thing I meant when I said good ones are more likely to find stuff than the docs......they're specialized, that's all they do. But they can screw ya up good if you get a bad one.
That's interesting. I'm used to seeing pins and screws, I'm sure it's not but looks like the 3d printed sumpthin to go between em all. I've got some stenosis too but not that severe. Really glad what they did helped.
I have been going to my chiro for years. I'm short, 4'11", and have done a lot of things that I shouldn't have. Moved many, many heavy things, carried them, had accidents, etc. If I hadn't gone to her I probably wouldn't be walking now. She does x-rays, and is still studying. Almost an RN! She knows my body very well and is always careful and discusses before adjusting. Talk to your friends and neighbors for recommendations.
My wife went to a chiro for a frozen shoulder (I said she'd been giving me the cold shoulder for years - fortunately, limited range of motion due to the shoulder issue prevented her from administering a slap to my face).
ER and her GP couldn't help, other than analgesic pills, which they happily told her might be a part of her daily regime for life. A coworker suggested a particular chiro who fixed her up. The process involved weekly sessions for a month, 2 per month for the next 2 months.
He said that her progress was unusually quick, and that it typically takes more like 6 months to return the range of motion to normal. She hasn't needed additional work for years.
So, here's the takeaways I got from her experience:
* Medical health is not the exclusive domain of 'standard' western medicine.
* Chiropractic care is not a "one quick snap and you're good to go, see you next injury" thing.
* Chiropractic care is, conversely, also not "once you start, you need it forever", as is professed by a lot of its critics.

Glasses are the biggest ripoff.
I have been using Zennioptical from China for years. I like their eyeglasses a lot more than the big dollar ones I used to get from my Optometrist. I just ordered my new prescription this month with no line multi focal, photochromic progressive tint, and (Oleophobic) oil and fingerprint resistant anti-reflective coating for $98. I could not be happier.
I originally used Zenni many years ago for a low budget backup (I sometimes need an extra pair to locate the mislaid pair I had just been wearing anyways).
If you sign up for an account on Zenni, they will immediately send you a 10% discount code.
It does look good !
I am learning that I have to stay away from bacon.
I had it twice last week as an experiment - failed miserably.
My throat went back to the closing spasms - bad !!!!

Not a happy camper.
