San Diego Chiropractic

I am an athelete, or perhaps i have been fooling myself into continuing to think so for the past few years. As a wanna be athelete, I have been playing basketball, volleyball, swimming and running pretty hard for the past few years.

I noticed however, that even though i was a district level sprinter in my earlier days, I have morphed into somewhat of a plodder anytime i put my big feet to the pavement.

A few weeks ago, I even ran a half marathon, in which other runners could sometimes hear my flat feet coming before they even saw me.

Well about 2 weeks ago, i went to see a chiropractor. Nothing in particular was aching, shaking out of the ordinary -- i happened to get a special free visit coupon so figured might as well go have a look and see what the chiropractor has to say.

The first session at the chiropractors took about 45 minutes. 30 minutes of filling out forms, and 10 minutes in talking and evaluating and 5 minutes of correcting some errors.

Yeah, i said, nothing was wrong initially, but by the end of the session, I could see that my pelvis was in truth uneven and needed correcting, i was putting 13 pounds extra pressure on my right foot, and one of my shoulders was 2 inches higher than the other.

Ok, i had no idea so many things could be wrong, and quite truthfully, apart from my bumbling gait while running, i was still playing sports competitively without problems.

I have now had several sessions with the chiropractor and after about 3 weeks this is what i have to report.

While running, i am no longer running as a fat flat footed sloth, I am now a fat but quite elegent and fast, yes very fast runner again ! Yippee, who would have thought?

Secondly, my weight which was hovering around the 260 mark - yes even with exercising like 2-3 mile swims daily - well that weight is now down to 250 and this is without exercising - yeah, i have gotten lazy again, but will start up soon again.

And of course, i have a much stronger awareness of when I am twisting my spine or bending over while working.

Chiropractic and chiropractors were for people who have headaches, backaches and other kinds of pains - yes, like the rest of the world this is exactly what I thought.

Duhh, so wrong, so wrong.

Marathon runners do a heck of a lot of traveling, and they all know the value of a bottle of ibubufren and a race concious chiropractor immediately before a race.


If you are in toronto, Canada, my friend Dr. Jamie Garvie is a wonder.
And if you are in Barrie, Ontario, my friend Dr. Angie is competent, warm and will end every session with a wonderful hug.
