chiropractic: ever had it solve a problem not related to your spine?

I went in one time and mentioned that my sinuses were really clogged that day. No problem, he pulled put this thing that was shaped like a gun and had a big rubber chair tip on the end. He cocked that thing and put it to my forehead and pulled the trigger. It whumped me pretty good. He did the other side of my forehead and once on each side of my nose.

I will admit that my sinuses drained better for a couple of hours.

When I got to the receptionist she ask how it went & I said pretty good until I mentioned my sinuses. She said, "Oh no. You didn't let him use the 'Big Thumper' on you, did you?".

I never mentioned my sinuses to him again.

wimp!

I've had a chiropractor friend for 25 years. She'd do this thingy to me during allergy season and it worked very well. It's not magic - a quick jarring thump to the precise area loosens things up in there. She's retired now, but I will still do that technique on my own when needed.

I can't believe that so many here have never seen a good chiropractor. My god, you just don't know what you are missing.

But she never pushed ANYTHING beyond her care. Every time I'd ask about if a drug that I might have on hand would be of any help, she'd ALWAYS remind me that she can't and WON'T prescribe any drugs.

Keep hydrated - that's the only thing she'd tell me as I was going out the door.
