40 Years Of Change

I just found my high school yearbook and I was looking through it; class of 78, when I noticed something. There was only one fat kid. 132 students graduated, and only one fat kid. Now, the tables have turned. Just go to Disneyland and you will see some of the largest people on the planet; paying 8 dollars for a hotdog.. but that's another blog for another day.

So back in '78, Gerry Rafferty on the radio, only one kid was fat, and now, just about everyone is over weight. And hey, wow!... just about everyone has back issues. If you check medical records from the 60's, very few people had back issues, that is a new condition for Americans; one that developed after the 1980's, when we moved into offices, sat down down in front of our first computers, and got lazy. We also used to have something called "P.E."

Farmers rarely had issues with their backs. They worked/ or work all day long. They are healthy, hearty people. So sitting may be the issue. Maybe we all need to get the hell up off the couch and do something.

When you do mess up your back, you can visit your doctor. They are professionals, so follow instructions, use your meds properly, and if the pain does not go away, head to the chiropractor for an adjustment. If your chiropractor finds that you are "too injured" for an adjustment, you may want to consider "spinal decompression". This procedure is available at Integrated Spinal Solutions in Reno, Caughlin Ranch, and Round Mountain, Nevada.
