After sleeping on an ice pack for a week and looking slightly crooked in the mirror I decided to finally break see my friend, The Salsa Chiropractor, for the first adjustment of my life.

"You might hear a loud crack. That doesn't mean anything is wrong," he said.

Think I'm going to get scared off by a measly crack? As if I haven't been creaking and cracking through yoga class for the last two years (how do you think my back got messed up?...though, I've always been a little crooked)! I'm sure I have the loudest joints in West Los Angeles.

Sure enough, the sound of my spine reverberated through the office.

I spent the remainder of the day feeling dizzy, but I've been told that there's an adjustment period to being adjusted and it's all for the better in the end.

Just for today, I can get straightened out.
