Recently, Carrie and I decided to have our family visit a chiropractor and have a look at our collective bone alignments and such. Traditionally, I have been quite chiropractor-averse; assuming them to be charlatans solely interested in hooking up a vacuum cleaner to your pocket and sucking out the monetary contents. I am still in favour of this belief. See news reports on chiropractic methods here, and here, that tend to throw the practice in a dim light.
However, that being said, we will follow through with a visit or two to see how this plays out. Both Carrie and I and the kids have now been for an initial consultation followed by xrays for both Carrie and I. The people in the office seem especially earnest, perhaps even slightly maniacally so. But this may have been from Carrie tipping my hand when she and the kids visited first by suggesting that when I visited I might be somewhat skeptical. Perhaps they are just true believers in the practice and unbelievers in conventional medicine.
The most interesting part so far has been comparing Carrie’s and my xrays, which revealed to our uneducated eyes interesting differences in male and female bone structure – particularly in the hips, the most obvious area to discern differences. But note below the differences in the Neck side view; Carries spine seems to be compressed, but perhaps it is supposed to be that way through her genetic makeup? And so for your delectation:
