ShortFatHokie Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I've been going to the chiropractor for almost three years. About every six months or so, he'll do an assessment, check height/weight/blood pressure/new spinal scans. Since my first visit in October, 2012, I've lost 19 pounds. But that isn't the interesting part. On my initial visit, I was 5'6" tall...had been that height for 30 years, since I was in high school. With the last two assessments, I've "grown" to 5'7" and as of yesterday, 5'7.5". I suppose I've hit a mid-life "growth spurt". I guess I'm going to have to change my board name to "NotAsShortFatHokie" soon... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Is your chiropractor using the Crane method? Usually remove a lot of compression on the disks and allow for them to plump back up, making the patient 'grow'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 So, you are saying going to the bone-cracker will make me taller?? I've been scared to so far, but DONE! I've always thought I was 5'7" until recently, and my son just surpassed me in height after measuring, he was 5'6.5"... I guess I've shrunk already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
