That's right .. do it yourself chiropractic services at home.
I probably go to the chiropractor about once a month, more if I'm really screwed. Each time He charges 45 bucks for 10 minutes of 'work'. Even after insurance it's still 20 bucks or so. What a joke!! Think about it! He charges 45 bucks a session, and probably sees 5 people an hour .. that's 225 bucks an hour. Take that times 8 hours .. that's 1800 bucks. Take that times the 20 days a month He works ... THAT'S $36,000.00 A MONTH !!!!!!!!!
Are You thinking what I'm thinking? FUCK HIM!!!!!!!!!
So .. every time I go there, it's the same old shit. Lay on my stomach, He cracks My mid back. Then lay on one side, puts My hip bones back in place, same with the other side. Then finally, it's adjust the neck.
Now .. lets save some money!!!
First, the cracking of the mid back. This can be easily remedy by several methods. Have your spouse step on your back. I guarantee something will crack with enough stomping around. Another way is to face backwards against a solid wall, and back into it quickly. Stand a foot or two away from the wall, and slam back into it. And you can also stand in a doorway. Put your back against one side and push your arms into the other side .. therefore forcing your back into the door jam. This is a great way to get to specific troubling areas. Or have a family member give you a reverse bear hug while your arms are crossed and give you a couple shakes. This almost ALWAYS works.
Next, the hips. Lay on the edge of the bed, or couch, and throw your top leg over the edge and twist. Use your arm to push on your upper hip and force it even more. If it's really stubborn, get a family member to come and push 'back' on the shoulder, and 'forward' on the hip. Something WILL pop .. just keep trying!! Think of the money your saving!! I have a high detailed, anatomically correct illustration of this method below for your use to aid you. (*note * - You may need to click on the pic to enlarge for better illustration)
Finally .. the neck. Swing your neck back and forth, slowly at first, then increase speed and distance. When you've reach the maximum distance that your neck will go, quickly whip your neck back the other way with intensity to go beyond what you've already done. Kinda like getting whiplash from getting hit from Mike Tyson in the side of the face. Really give it a whip .. if done correctly, you should hear a few pops. You can also use the old tried and true method of grabbing your chin and the top of your head and twisting too.
-----------------------------------------------
And there you have it .. give yourself a pat on the back ( <--- Punny, huh) and think about the 20, 30, 40 bucks you just saved. Plus you did it from the comfort of your own home. If you have other pains that I didn't cover, you'll have to improvise since I'm not familiar with anything else. I believe this is what people did BEFORE chiropractors came around, and now we can get to that point again.
Happy cracking and your welcome :)
