A Kindred Spirit: Why the chiropracter is my best friend Click on headline for full story plus photo By Teresa Bell Kindred Around my house it's not the cereal that goes snap, crackle, pop: it's me. Mainly it's my neck and shoulders that give me problems. I was fifty years old before I visited a chiropractor. I'm not sure why I waited so long, but now that I've been to one (a very good one) I don't intend to stop. Dr. Kelly Scatena is my chiropracter. She looks like she's not old enough to be out of high school, doesn't she? I promise she is. She has certificates on her wall to prove she went to college and Chiropractic school (I checked). At first I was dubious about the benefits of getting adjusted, but not any more. One of our twins had scoliosis and after one year of treatment the x-rays showed the scoliosis was gone. For awhile I took a glass on how to make stained glass. Part of the process requires cutting the glass and it's sort of tedious and requires applying pressure with the glass cutting tool. I didn't want to 'mess up' as my boys say because glass is expensive, so I tried exceptionally hard not to make a mistake. During the weeks I took the glass I had to visit Dr. Kelly on a fairly regular basis. It seems I carry all the tension in my body in my neck and shoulders (she says most women do). After the class ended I got better--until recently. It seems that NanaHood is sending me back to Dr. Kelly weekly. I'm spending so much time at the computer (and my posture is not the best) that the tension is once again causing problems for me. I don't feel the tension while I'm working but when I go to roll my head around--snap, crackle, pop. And so I go see Dr. Kelly and we have the same conversation we had the week before. It goes like this: Me: My neck and shoulders hurt. Dr. Kelly: Are you drinking lots of water? Me: No, I don't like water Dr. Kelly:(heavy sigh) Are you working on the computer eight hours a day? Me: On a slow day. Dr. Kelly: (heavier sigh) I'll see you next week. Evidently the fact that I refuse to drink a lot of water (never more than a sip) is really bad for me. And the fact that I consume water in mega-doses of coffee and tea doesn't seem to impress her. If you don't have a chiropractor, find one, especially if you are a computer fiend like me.
