alex chiang: web 6.0

So I totally jacked up my left shoulder last Thursday playing ultimate, while laying out for a disc (which I didn’t even catch). It’s been hurting like the dickens for the past few days, so today I went and saw the chiropractor/accupuncturist.

No serious damage, which was good, and I got some accupuncture for the first time. It was an odd experience, getting those little pins stuck into my shoulder. Next, the good doctor hooked me up to some sort of electrical device, and put some juice into those little pins, so various little muscles were twitching. I guess it was supposed to stimulate blood flow to help the connective tissue rebuild faster.

In any case, I sat there and twitched for about 25 minutes. I guess I feel a bit better, but the experience was more interesting than it was therapeutic, methinks.
