So, to give you some background on my back, for the past 5 years or so I’ve had pain (like shooting, sharp, nerve pain) running down my legs (Sciatic nerve).  I saw a back specialist after waiting two months to see him, because as I was told, he was “worth waiting for”.  He had his nurse take some x-rays of my back and told me “I would just have to deal with the pain”.  Literally, that’s the exact words he used. 

So after that, I went another 3 years until Steve recommended that I see a Chiropractor.  I eventually took his advice and went and found out I have Scoliosis… which means if you are looking at my back while I’m facing away from you instead of straight up and down, my spine is crooked.  Also there’s a bend in your spine in your neck and the ideal degree of curve is 42 (I think… correct me someone if I’m wrong) well… mine is -4.  So, come to find out, I’m all sorts of messed up when it comes to my back.  I started regular Chiropractic visits (3 times a week) and I’m feeling MUCH better.  I still have occasional pain, but nothing like before. 

When I had the visit with the Chiropractor where we went over my results of my x-rays, I was almost relieved when he said I had issues… like he was validating all the pain I had been in.  I wasn’t crazy, afterall!
