I’ve been undergoing chiropractic care for at least a month now. Initially, I was advised to undergo spine adjustment and realignment for about 45 visits, excluding any additional maintenance care. I just had my 24th visit yesterday and I decided that I won’t proceed with the upgrade anymore because I’ve problems with the finances. I’ve spent around P78k already. This includes the initial consultation of P 4,900 and x-ray of P 3,600, and P 69,500 for the 24-visits package. If ever I continue with what was recommended to me, I’ll be spending around P70k more, which I’m not really sure where to get it from. My monthly salary won’t be able to compensate for that. It will take months to recover. I realized that I haven’t been able to save that much as compared to last year? I plan to travel somewhere by the end of the year so I really need to recover all the expenses I’ve incurred. I have this app called Spending Tracker which helps me track where all my money went. And from the looks of it, I’ve been on a net loss starting from the month of January. Sighs. I’ve spent a lot on that Korea trip, and those books that I ordered online. So even tho the chiropractor tried to persuade me as much as he could like how the pain might go back after a month or two and that I might have to start from scratch all over again, I just said no. He probably could tell that it was because of the finances. If I had the money, I would have not hesitated and I would have continued. But to be completely honest, I’m feeling 100% completely relieved right now. It’s as if I went back to 2016/2017.
My upper back and shoulders started to hurt in the early months of this year so I went and tried Karada. I definitely felt relieved right after but the pain came back after 2/3 months. Worse is I had stiff neck, upper and lower back pain, both my left and right shoulder ached. I almost always had migraines every night. I also noticed that I had rounded shoulders and a turtle neck and it was extremely hard for me to straighten them and have a good, normal/proper posture. I guess, this is what prolonged hours of sitting in front of a computer does to your back. I passed by a Chiropractic Clinic on a Friday one day so I decided to check it out. Unfortunately, they don’t have doctors on Friday so I came back the next day and this is where it all started. After a series of 4/5 adjustments, I felt nauseous and I couldn’t do anything at night except sleep my way thru the night because of migraine and dizziness. I felt like this almost everyday in the first few weeks. I couldn’t do anything – I couldn’t work, I couldn’t be productive and I almost slept at 8pm! I haven’t slept at 8pm since maybe I was in kindergarten lol like who sleeps at 8pm anyways? I was told that this is normal because of the toxins that are being released when the spine is being adjusted. For the most part, I adapted to this kind of lifestyle.
Halfway through, I still did experience occasional headaches but it was a lot less frequent na. But I still wasn’t as active as I used to and felt lethargic almost all of the time. I used to do yoga back in 2016 lol.
FFWD to present, here I am feeling 100% better. I’m now able to stay up late and work a few more hours and be more productive. I also sleep a lot better now. I woke up feeling like a whole new different person. Like a feeling of rebirth, you know what I mean? lol
