I went to chiropractor today to see x-rays and get another treatment of the thumper adjustment and cold laser. Doc showed me my neck x-rays over the past 10 years, taken at 3 or 4 year intervals. For being a novice I can see in the x-rays the changes that have occured. Its the disc in the middle of neck (don't know the number) that has become very compressed and arthritis can be seen on the bone. Ugh! When did I get old? We discuss other treatment options like the DXR for traction - no, not an option; no to inversion table, suggested I used rolled towel placed behind head which would serve as traction as long as I lay on floor w/towel for 20 minutes daily.- this I can do; too early to even discuss surgery. Doc is pleased with my exercise & weight training wants me to keep moving. Maybe next week he'll let me go back to light arm upperbody weight training. How was Alan's first day back to work?
