Cora's Chiropractor

Just got back from a visit to Cora's chiropractor.  It went well.  She is adjusting quickly and as Dr. Burt said today, "She is adjusting and moving into place like butter."  No more stuck Cora with an unmoving rib cage!

Its like this....if you leave a joint out of place and scar tissue forms around that joint, it remains stuck and out of place.  Its easier to get an adjustment soon after trauma or injury so the joints go back to the place they belong and then scar tissue doesn't develop.  Or, for that matter, arthritis.  Ouch!!
 (If your reading this Dr Burt, I hope I got your explanation right. )

I am happy that Cora likes her Chiropractor and that they get along.  She greets him with smiles.  They both share laughter as Cora makes grunting noises and little squeals while he twists her and turns her and bounces her little vertebrae and rib cage back into place. 

What started out as uncomfortable and with grimaces from Cora has become a game between the two of them.  Cora is back in place now and moving freely, and faster than ever.  She now only needs to see him once a month. 

I stand in awe of the gifts she continues to receive on this journey and the friends she continually brings around to travel her side of the road.  Its a sunny day on the journey of Cora Jean!
Dr. Burt and Cora Jean - happily adjusting to life
