| Purple Plum Fairy visits Mabuhay Chiropractic Clinic at SM North Edsa The Block for the first time |
For a lot of people, a visit to a chiropractor
is a necessity only when they get twisted or when they have a stiff neck. In
reality, you may not even be aware of it, but you might have a problem with
your spine and wouldn’t know it unless you see a specialist. Your headache,
neck pain, and even knee pain may be caused by a small dislocation.

If you’ve never visited a chiropractor before, chances are
you might be as clueless as I am. Just like me, you must be wondering what to
expect during your first visit at the chiropractor. I had so many questions
going on in my mind prior to my visit: “Will it hurt afterwards?” “Will they be
requiring me to have my spinal X-ray? I was so excited yesterday while I was
accompanied by my fiancรฉ Jason (who also became my personal driver and
photographer at the time. Thanks, hun!) during my first visit to Mabuhay Chiropractic
Clinic at SM North Edsa, The Block. What exactly goes on during the
chiropractic appointment? Read on and find out as I share with you what has
happened during my first appointment.

When my fiancรฉ Jason and I arrived at the Mabuhay
Chiropractic Clinic yesterday, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. Although I
have been to a chiropractic clinic before but the experience was different
since I had only interviewed the chiropractor at the time yet there was no
first-hand experience.
The minute I stepped inside Mabuhay Chiropractic Clinic, I was
immediately greeted by their friendly and professional staff. I was asked to
fill out a paper with all the necessary information including the pain I had
been experiencing in the past 6 months. Once I had completed the form, I was
then taken in to see their in-house chiropractic doctor, Dr. Nick Fleming. Dr.
Fleming is an American, born and raised in Minnesota, USA. He went to the New
College Science Institute and Life West Chiropractic College. He moved to
Thailand where he also worked for 10 years where he was also introduced to
integrative medicine and became the head chiropractor for a large clinic in
Bangkok, Thailand. Dr. Fleming also took advance studies of chiropractic and
healing arts. His specialization includes active release technique (used by
athlete’s around the world), cranial nerve rehab and neurological testing and
rehab.

 Fleming discussed the symptoms that I had been
experiencing in the past few months and he asked me some questions. I told him
that there were some trigger points on my shoulder blades as well as some neck
pains, occasional headaches, leg cramps, and feet issues. I also have problems
with my posture as I got so used to being in a slouch position and my prolonged
sitting also didn’t help at all. I used to put topical analgesics on them
hoping the pain would get better on its own but it wasn’t getting any better so
I thought it would be smart to visit Mabuhay Chiropractic Clinic and have
myself checked.
