The first time I went to a chiropractor I was in a bad way. Although I can't recall the exact nature of my complaint, I'm sure it originated in my lower back because that was where things used to hurt.

Domestic violence or how I got a black eye from cleaning the bathtub
After my recent week away, I felt compelled to accomplish some household chores over the weekend.
