Chiropractor Care


The ache in the neck turned into a familiar acidic pain. I was not going to suffer for another 2 weeks with useless balms, massages and patches.

This time, I zipped straight to the chiropractor. Dr Robert Wasserman is the best in the practice. He is so good at what he does. Fantastic bedside manner too. He hooked me up to electro-therapy to relax the very tightly knotted neck muscles. Then he twisted, swung the neck and cracked all parts of my vertebrae.

Immensely satisfying.

I'm a convert. Instead of paying $70 for weekly massages, I'm definitely making a monthly date with the chiropractor to keep spine supple. Massages and doing yoga don’t quite solve a bone problem ’ya know? Dr Wasserman said that my 1st and 2nd vertebrae are out of alignment, again. Okaaayyyy.

It must be the darned chair in the office.

thank god for chiropractors to solve all the aches and painful joints. massage balms provide but temporary relief. the cracking of bones is necessary to re-align. i can't live without my chiropractor!

i'm a convert too!! chronic back pain. massages don't even relieve it anymore coz it's like so deep inside. the intense sessions at the chiropractor did. then follow up once a month got it stable.

i've to contend with massages right now. chiropractors are so so rare here. accupuncture's the rage. but i wouldn't dare try.

keep going to the monthly sessions. it can only be good for you. backaches/neck kinks are no fun at all.

you better change that chair or you'll get a recurring problem rather frequently.
