Still going

Not really much to report these days. I am continuing my visits. I am going twice a week now and will begin once a week next week.  My upper mid back and neck are doing well, but I believe I am sort of "addicted" to the adjustments. I just don't feel right if I don't get them. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing. I am on the posture pump for approximately 10 minutes each visit at the end. This is where I lie on the hydro-table and a posture pump is placed under the neck. I squeeze the pump five times for 20 reps then on the last one squeeze four times and it stays in place until the hydro-table shuts down. This is awkward but is meant to put natural curvature back in the neck. I am also supposed to be taking a rolled up towel and putting it under my neck for 15 minutes every day. Dr. Chiro gave me some exercises to do on the exercise ball which will strengthen upper mid back and lower back. Same stuff I do at the gym.  Overall, still a good experience. I do feel better when I go and can tell when I haven't been.  I can't really say it has been life-changing.  He did ask me about my pillow and recommended a water pillow. I will think about this since I sleep on a feather pillow. I know....not good.
