Went to a chiropractor yesterday for the first time. I hurt my back about a month ago, combination from squats and then playing basketball I think, just overall becoming active too quickly after a few years of inactivity. It hurt right on the spine in my lower back and I can't lean backwards very far. I got it x-rayed and it was negative, someone recommended me a chiropractor so I figured what the hell, I'll see what it's about for the life-experience.
During the exam, the chiropractor said he found a misalignment in my spine, which was right around the area that I said I had pain. It would have been nice to see if he had found that same misalignment had I not told him where the pain was, but I guess it doesn't work that way.
Then I got some kind of hot electric massage that was nice, then a couple of back crackings, followed by a nice deep massage for about 25 minutes, then some other kind of massage table with a roller that goes up and down the back for about 10 minutes.
So basically, I got a fancy massage that's partially covered by insurance and cost me about $20. Not too bad a deal I guess =)
