Speaking of my recent back problems…my chiropractor, Dr. Ranjit Sandhu, has unknowingly become my best friend in the last week or so. It is still beyond me how someone can magically put you out of pain with a simple crack of a bone….After my 4th adjustment with him, I looked at him incredulously and said “You’re a witch – aren’t you?” To which he laughed. And getting him to laugh is quite a feat since we didn’t get off to a good start in the first place.
I was nervous and a non-believer in the chiropractic sciences to start off with. And I was unfamiliar that adjustments = cracking bones in your body to achieve optimal alignment. Sounds scary when you think of it! So just as he positioned me for my very first adjustment I stopped him saying…”Are you sure you know what you are doing? I watched Two & A Half Men and it seems like chiropractors are not REAL doctors”.
Bad move. You don’t diss the saviour who will put you out of your painful misery!
But I guess he took it in good spirit. Funnily enough – he has also been a great source to dispute all the questions that have plagued me. Yesterday as he was cracking my neck and spine – I asked him:
“You know, I’ve seen in movies how people can kill someone by cracking their neck. Kinda like Rambo. Can you kill someone too?”.
He could not stop laughing. Apparently (and I proudly share this knowledge with all of you who have had the same question…) it is not possible to kill someone by snapping their neck. It is just a gimmick in movies – meant to thrill and evoke a sense of awe.
At least now I am not afraid of pissing him off and having him kamikaze my neck bones…*lol*
