$$: Chiropractor

Chi­ro­prac­tor — $35.00

Remem­ber when The Son broke his clav­i­cle in early Sep­tem­ber?  Well, his body’s been a mess ever since — as you might well imag­ine.  After all, he didn’t just fall and snap his col­lar­bone.  No, he tripped and tum­bled and took off large patches of skin on his hip and back and bruised his kid­ney and broke his clav­i­cle.  Then he spent the next 7–8 weeks in a sling.

Every once in a while he’d men­tion how much his neck or upper back or lower back, etc was stiff or sore or oth­er­wise hurt­ing.  I put off tak­ing him to the chi­ro­prac­tor sim­ply because it didn’t seem like a good idea until his bone had had a good chance to knit together.  I real­ize in ret­ro­spect that I could have taken him ear­lier — she’s not a bone-cracking chi­ro­prac­tor, after all.

Still, I waited until today.  I was pleased to hear that he wasn’t as far out-of-whack as one might imag­ine he’d be and would need to go in again only if and when he felt he needed another adjustment.
