Ahhh, Now That's Better

So my 46 year old body still wants to work out like it's 25 and most days will do so quite well.  But last Saturday morning after my usual kickboxing class, things were not feeling quite right in the old back.  As the day progressed it became ever more painful to walk with a very sharp, pinching, nerve-like pain.  I hoped a good night's rest would sort everything out and I would be able to go for my Sunday morning run.  Well on Sunday morning after two steps on it clearly it was not ok and getting worse and I had to scrap the run.  Monday morning didn't show any improvement and so I booked an appointment with our chiropractor Dr. Kim Macanuel.  I could feel that a nerve was being pinched and things just weren't moving as they should and Kim quickly identified that my left SI joint was locked and my right side was moving too much and pressing on a nerve.  Four quick adjustments later and my back was immediately about 80% better so much so that I could do 40 minutes on the stationary bike at the gym a short while later with no discomfort.  What did people ever do in that situation before there was chiropractic?

There's a new recipe for Edamame Basil Salad on our website http://forcesofnature.ca/HealthyRecipes.htm#Edamame_Basil_Salad

To your health,

Pamela
