Went 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.

МОжет быть, это тот случай, когда стоило бы обратиться к НЕалетрнативной медицине?...

It's no biggie, Graston is used all over in sports medicine. And doc is a very good chiro, fixes things well. And my foot feels better. Just have to take the pain :)
