A few days ago I was hit by a car running a red light going 40 mph as I was turning left on a green arrow. It was my first accident and needless to say it was a bizarre experience. The seconds before the impact seemed to go in slow motion; I remember little of the actual accident, and the only things clear in my mind were the ambulance ride and the emergency room. I had been admitted on the grounds of chest and neck pain and fortunately nothing was broken…but then why, days later, did I feel as if my back had been warped into an unfamiliar configuration?

The following days were filled with unexplained stomach aches immediately following eating anything, unable to attend classes due to extreme discomfort in my back, and gratefully having my friends carry my unexpectedly heavy backpack. My first adjustment came as a wonderful relief of curing even the headache that I had come into the office with! My posture seems straighter and my body has never felt this light and flexible. I’m extremely excited for further treatments because I know that this is not some new, fancy, trendy treatment that sounds good at first and slowly looses its charm. This is straightening the core of my body that all my muscles and organs depend heavily on: my wonderful spine that I am completely confident will be perfectly and beautifully aligned and functioning thanks to Dr. Klein.
