Jul. 30th, 2009 12:34 amWent to my chiropractor today. Haven't been since last year. He did my neck correction etc. Then I mentioned my foot condition. He said sure, we got something just for that. It's called The Graston Technique.
Well, yep. It's a technique alright -- they grind at the affected area with a special metal scrubbing thingie. They grind a lot. The idea is to massage deep and cause the fascia to inflame, bringing more blood flow and speeding up the healing. There's just one caveat -- it fucking hurts like hell, when someone rubs a hard metal scrubber against soft tissue at the base of your fucking foot.
Danny, while doing the procedure with a straight face of a professional executioner, has courteously allowed me to "scream as loud as I can". And scream I did, cz you can't fuckin' take it. And I got all sweaty and light-headed cz of pain and frequent shallow breathing.
It was fun. And I have to do that twice next week.
PS. Here's my doc Steve showing off on ABC.
