Default I went to the doc today

I've had migraines since i was 9, and the last few years i've noticed i have minor scoliosis or a twisted spine or something that affects my posture and makes it hard to sit for long periods of time. Basically what offset my interest in this was a free chiropratic visit i had, but i didn't trust his diagnosis and he was too expensive.

Went to the doc at my school, and i'm glad I did. You can tell he's straight, no nonsense, not gonna drum up something so you'll have to come bakc and actually pay type of guy. He started by looking at the back of my neck and he's like "you know your right ear is lower than the left, right?" and i'm like umm how the fuck would i know that? And then as he went down he's like WOW your occipital whatevers (not lobes i know that much) are off kilter, right lower than left agian. then my spine is rotated to the right, and the left side of my pelvis
is slightly below the right, causing my left leg to be slightly lower
than the right Apparently he said that when I was born probably,
since i have no recollection of a head injury (ha ha), those
occipital lobes were knocked out of whack and the rest of my spine just slowly went along with it as time went over. And he says that it probably has something to do with the migraines i get occasionally.
So he said that i should come back for some "minor manipulation
therapy" on my neck and those lobe things and it'll only be $30
and that's all it'll cost til it's fixed or he's satisfied with it.
So i must say I'm kind of pleased about htat. I knew my back, upper back anyway, where it's really the most twisted, bothers me whenever i sit for a long time. anyway, i'm glad to be getting the help I need. So basically i'm an off-kilter freak that may get fixed. woo hoo.

or whatever. that'll be good, and i liked the doc.
