Ok, heres how it went:
1. He had me take x-rays, bending both ways, and straight. I could see my self that my spine, when bending to the left, was more "kinked" than when bending to the right. He said my old compressed disc looked fine. Said spine looked fine besides the small kink.
2. He had me hold my arms out to the right and in front of me, and he would push them down, while i would try to hold them up. He was doing this all real fast, and would push on my right, then push on my left and say "ya see how that s a lot weaker? ya see the difference right?" I really didnt however. He said I had a left, somethiing or other.
3. He checked my BP which was 100 over 60.
4. checked my eyes and said my left eye doesnt follow his finger right or something. He said he wants the computer to be on the right side of my viewing from now on. and he wants me to do some finger-following exercise 3x a day.
5. He rolled this thing over both sides of diferent parts of my body and asked if they feel the same, which they did.
6. he said my "neurons" werent firing right for my spine to alleviate pain or something, because my soleus on my right side was tight. This is just about the only thing I totally agreed with, because when he pushed on it, it felt much more painful then my left side and it was effecting the ROM of my right leg. My right leg would try to come up when my left leg was stretched to my chest, but only that side was like that.
7. he had me hold out my arms and do the thing where I would try to hold them up0 while he pushed them down, then he had me walk to a door and back and do it again, then he said "see how its much weaker now?" which again, I really didnt see.
8. He cracked my neck and back while lying down
THE KICKER:
9. He tried to sell my this dumbass CD, said "especially weight lifters are takin it" "I think you would lose 9 lbs in 7 days" (I told him I was tryign to lose 30 lbs) HAHAHAHA!! I told him I was very skeptical.
10. He wants me to buy these insoles for $105.00....??????
he said to come back again this week and 3x next week.
I dunno, I dont really care, I have insurance and am going to have to pay a deductable no matter what, for other doc visits I have scheduled anyway but, it kinda seemed like a bunch of shit, and I went there with an open mind too.
He told me lifitng was OK and to stretch my soleus and back with a couple stretches.
Well Doc?......
