Last week I decided to ask my parents if I could go
and see a Chiropractor to get my back checked. You
know, to make sure nothing was wrong, and nothing
would occur in the near future. Plus I had some, not
much, but some aching in my neck and the mid section
of my back. Well long story short, he finds out (from
his X-ray) that I have a slight case of scoliosis. So
now I am going to him for about 4-6 weeks to get it
fixed through therapy. Which is fine by me, because
what they do there makes you feel like you are in
paradise.
Scoliosis is when your spine starts misalign, which
will cause a lot of strain on the muscles around it,
and is very bad for your shoulders. What I mean is
your shoulders will start to move forward and your
back will begin to hunch. So you would look like Mr.
Burns on the show "The Simpsons".
This is what really scared me the most that I would
have to take a break from bodybuilding. Now who in
their right mind would want that to happen? It's like
purposely getting injured.
For those who are thinking about going to go and get a
check up, I suggest you do. Seeing that if your
family has medical insurance, it will be free of
charge. The machines they place you on also feel
great. You get out feeling like they gave you a brand
new spine.
Just thought I would help you guys out with this
information.
