For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 12, 2022

One does get in some rather peculiar positions at the Chiopractors. And some odd parts of your body get crunched!

Do your exercises and work on your posture like your physical therapist tells you, and you won’t have to go to the chiropractor.

I once asked a chiropractor about how his job affected his back. :D. He said that he and the other chiropractor traded off treatments, since his work was hard on his back. LOL. (Chiropractors do not tend to consult with physio’s or medical doctors. :P)

John should read the Bible a little closely. The Bible distinctly says, “When thy back betrays yee and gives yee discomfort, then trust in thy staff. Thy rod and thy staff shall comfort you for the rest of your days.”

Y’know, Iooking at John from these angles, I find him physically unappealing.

Maybe he should take a vacation in the tropics to get some color and not appear so cadaverous.

Perhaps he could schedule his hygienist to do cleanings in the afternoons. Then his hygienist and receptionist can still work and not be laid off. I assume there is no more staff than two.

Ummm, why does John have his shirt off? No chiropractor I know has ever asked a client to do that.

This chiropractor looks like Saint Michael, but with red hair.

Jon should avail himself of some of the modern techniques used in dentistry. Like using telescopic glasses. They would cut down on him needing to bend over the patient so much to see the teeth. Also, sometimes my dentist has me in a very low position while he sits down to do the procedure.

Lynn’s Comments:

A friend who was a chiropractor allowed me to take Polaroid photos of him in his office with a patient who was in on the scheme. I wanted to show that I had done my homework!

Looks like John needs a partner. That will make retirement less awkward too.

Somebode once said “If you want to be sucessful, work only half a day. Doesnt matter if its the first 12 hours, or the second 12 hours, but work a half a day…”

He should probably do stretching exercises, some core strength building exercises and lose some weight. That would all probably help. He isn’t fat, per se, just has a little flab around the middle like most his age.

You said it, John.

Awkward position… unintentional chiropractic humour.

I think John should see a physical therapist. He would get better advice for his money.

They look like they are wrestling.

I keep thinking of Gumby….

In more ways than one!

Having been in each of those positions with a chiropractor at one time or another, I can honestly say that Lynn got it right.

Groan.

Hrf Dayf might do him some good!
