recap: last saturday i went for a free spinal check at Junction 8. and made an appointment for monday, to get it check thoroughly.
The Chiropractic Centre is located at Bishan, CPF building. It's called Wellnes for Life - Chiropractic.
After the examination, this is what i have!
1. Unleveled Pelvis Bones
2. Unleveled shoulders
3. Crooked Spine
4. Wrong Neck Alignment
4. Wrong Neck Alignment
eeeeks! sounds scary eh! in order to justify these problems, i had to go for X-ray! >.<
Green line is the correct alignment while the red is the problem
Wednesday: Diagnose and Cure
woke up really early @ 8am for my appointment at the centre. *yawns* . They had a group session where everybody watched a short video to learn more about what Chiropractic is and how spinal alignment can affect your life. it's kinda scary actually, how your spine can go out of place. There are 3 phases, 3rd one being the worst.
New Word of the Day: Sublaxation
A loss of the proper alignment of the spinal bones leading to endangering stress or pressure on the highly delicate nervous system. This nerve pressure can be completely silent and can dramatically weaken the body leading to a wide variety of healt breakdowns.
every part of the spine can cause different kind of illness. after the video, i was called out into another room where the doctor explained my condition to me. I am in Phase 2, still can adjust, thank god! the doc is really good and really young as well. Mommy had doubts initally, but i guess she's convinced.
and then it was off to my first Chiropractic Session. I was kind of nervous and anxious, dont know what to expect! and it feels kinda scary, moving the bone back to the correct position. First i had to lie faced down on the bed. Suddenly, part of the bed dropped a level down with a loud "clang". i got a shock! =X and then the doc felt the spine and told me to take a deep breath, and CRACK CRACK CRACK! omg! haha i tot my spine broke! but according to him, it's not broken, but the release of the air trapped inside.
Next, he worked on my neck. all the while, i dare not crack my neck by turning it left or right like what some guys easily do. the doc took my head and twisted it! it was superr scary i tell u! it's like im going to be headless! haha =P
Lastly, he asked me to lie on my side and like what i always do when im in bed, twisted my back, which wasnt that scary because i do it all the time! =)
altogether, the treatment took less than 10mins. but we pay $$$ =( after all the twisting and cracking i felt lighter and very good! it's like taking a load off my back. and the staff there are really friendly, they called me in the afternoon to ensure im well. and there are certain health workshop that will be held occasionally to educate people.
unfortunately, i cant continue with the treatment, according to the doc, i need to go down twice a week for 3 months and after that another X-ray to see if i get better. and then once a week until it's aligned. BUT im already going to Germany in less than 2 months time. Doc say i can start the treatment when i come back next Jan. Mommy got really convinced that they're really sincere to help people. So next treatment will be next year ! =)
