The Decompression was a procedure where they are pulling my spine and realign it again so that the 'gel' between them stops hitting some nerves that caused my discomfort in moving and walking. They too my weight, I forgot to ask why though. Then they had me lie down in a medical bed and strapped me in then had my legs up. I felt the pulling but it was not painful, it just felt like normal pull, like someone is pulling your head. After it, I felt much better, like a lot of weight was shed off the left side of my body
After that, I underwent a procedure called Correction. The chiropractor cracked my neck and spine to correct my posture. He also did some pulling to realign my legs because apparently, my left leg is really longer than my right leg. I felt very much unburdened at that time. It was like I was carrying so much weight on my shoulders. He didn't even touched my shoulders, just my neck and spine.
Then I went through Dry Needling. According to Google, Dry needling, also known as myofascial trigger point dry needling,[1][2][3][4] is the use of either solid filiform needles or hollow-core hypodermic needles for therapy of muscle pain, including pain related to myofascial pain syndrome. Dry needling is sometimes also known as intramuscular stimulation (IMS).[1]
Chinese style tendinomuscular acupuncture relies on careful palpation of what are called "Ah Shi" points, which often correspond to both trigger points and/or motor points in the myofascial tissue. Chinese style tendinomuscular acupuncture tends to use lower gauge (thicker) needles necessary for puncturing contraction knots with a high degree of precision. On the other hand, lighter styles of acupuncture, such as Japanese style, and many American styles, may tend towards very shallow insertions of higher gauge (thinner) needles. Most acupuncture styles, especially those with lighter techniques, require a detailed knowledge, not only of anatomy but also of the channel networks and connections. Thus, while some forms of acupuncture are not at all the same as dry needling, the term dry needling can refer quite specifically to what is now called Myofascial Acupuncture, Tendinomuscular Acupuncture, or some version of Sports Acupuncture.
The procedure was not that painful for me, but the painfulness varies upon the age and pain tolerance. The physical therapist did my lower back and neck. She said this was to release some tension in my muscle that weren't caught in the other procedures I have undergone.
Today, I feel more inn control with y body. I feel excited whenever I can do things that I was not able to do for a very long time. Earlier, I tried going down the stairs like how normal people would do it. I was able to do it. But my father warned me to not over do it because I might wear off my body.
As of this writing, I am sitting straight up, I don't have back pains and I don't feel tingling in my hands. I still look down because I got to it but apparently my Nystagmus i also cured but I have a poor eyesight so I still wear the glasses.
Btw, the earphones and weighing scale I ordered was delivered today. It's an exciting day! I'm looking forward to walking and running whenever I want to and do the things that I can't do before especially, the things that I have to do.
