i’ve got this real sharp pain in my neck. it’s on the right side, and it goes from the middle of my shoulder up to the middle of my neck. it was unbearable wednesday night and yesterday morning…until i went to visit my chiropractor friend dr. alonzo borja, in buford. it’s still a little tight and tender, but it’s way better than it was. i’m going back tomorrow morning for another adjustment.
anyway, chiropractic medicine has always has a bit of an “alternative medicine” rap in the medical field. but what he did yesterday was just weird. besides your customary chiropractor things (like “cracking” my neck and applying pressure to sore spots), he put these glass suction cups on my neck and shoulder and pumped the air out of them…and it was pretty intense. apparently, it’s supposed to stimulate the cells in that area to reproduce faster and whatnot, by bringing blood to the surface. (my korean friend tommy swears by it…he’s actually got his own set at home. i was with him when he bought them…and they’re not cheap.) well, bring blood to the surface it did, folks. i don’t really know if it is helping or not, but the hickies left on my neck and shoulder sure do make for great conversation starters… (in the grocery store, among friends, at my daughter’s birthday party…believe me, it’s not at all awkward…)
anyway, here’s the weird, wild stuff. this image was not doctored in photoshop or anything else.
