Chiropractor Disappointment

So after that recent car accident I had, I've been somewhat forced to go to the local 'chiropractor' to ensure that I am as healthy as I was before the crash. In fact, they want me to go so bad, it's going to be free. Huh, not bad. Well, after my first sessions, my impression of a chiropractor went from positive to negative. You've seen chiropractors in televisions shows before. You know...like the time Phoebe from Friends worked as a chiropractor and got her butt touched by Rachel's boyfriend (that's the first thing that came to mind). Well, sadly, it wasn't that way. No hand massages. No relaxation. No nudity. No pretty girl to rub your back. So what would one experience in the modern day chiropractic session? Well, let me just give you an account of my experience.

Cindy and I went to the chiropractor yesterday for the first time. As I walked into the office will the typical impression one has of a chiropractor, I noticed a cute receptionist. I thought, 'woohoo, that will be my chiropractor as well'. Anyhow, I signed in and waited several minutes. Cindy got called in first, and eventually they called me. The receptionist walked me to the room, but walked out. The chiropractor turned out to be a man. Well, at least it wasn't those hulks you see in those comedy shows. So he asks me several questions about my back. The thing was, I had nothing wrong with it. Again, I was forced to go to the chiropractor. So I ended up basically saying no to everyone of his 'does this hurt?' questions.

So after that, it was massage time! Woo hoo, relaxation here we come! I laid down on the bed or whatever you call it, and waited. Well folks, turns out you don't need to take off your clothes. The chiropractor then informed me that he was going to give me a electric massage. I looked up and saw sever small pads with wires attached to them. They looked freaky, and scary. So instead of the hand massage, the chiropractor stuck the pads onto my back and turned on the machine. He walked off afterwards.

The massage itself wasn't that relaxing. It felt like gremlins were dancing on my back. I literally felt no ease of pain or anything. Heck, I ended up taking out my phone and texted during that session. The machine finally stopped and beeped. I heard the sound of footsteps coming my way and as the door opened, my eye glistened with hope. It was the receptionist, ready to finish my massage. Hehehe :D. She pulled off those ridiculous pads and went for the lotion. Oh hell yes. Then the chiropractor man came in and took the bottle and rubbed it on my back. FML. He then said 'Thank you'. Huh? Thank you for what? 'You may leave'. WTF. That was it. That was all that they did, and I went home. Total ridiculousness.

Well, my impression of the chiropractor has completely changed. I mean, chiropractors are supposed to be classified as doctors. They have a certificate for christ sake. How much do they get paid to put on a pad on your back and rub lotion on you? Heck, I want that job if it pays well! Total disappointment. So that was my experience folks. Never ever pay for a chiropractor. Its just sad. Oh and if my girlfriend is reading this, then she's probably going to yell as me for the receptionist girl :x. Hi baby. Ehehe ^^".
