Kennington Chiropractic

Another lovely GroupOn voucher brought me to the door of Kennington Chiropractic. Now I have to be honest and say I was very skeptical about the whole thing given that my main knowledge of Chiro comes from the antics of Alan Harper on the sadly postponed/​cancelled tv series, Two and a Half Men. And anyone who has seen the series knows just how much respect is accorded his profession, namely none at all.
The chiropractor (a Welsh dude who I’m sure is loved by the ladies and whose name I’ve promptly forgot) was top notch with a friendly disarming manner. He first took some time to explain what it was all about and what the examination would entail. He kept talking as he pulled and prodded my bones and muscles so there were no awkward silences (definitely a plus when you are in a small room with no shirt on) and it was also pretty educational. Then came the actual «adjustment» which left me feeling less stiff in the joints and more relaxed overall.
It’s a bit weird when he twists you like a pretzel and uses his body weight to crack your spine, but it feels better after I promise. The strangest (and possible scariest one) is when he cracks your neck which does feel like he is about to twist it off but stops just short.
Overall, a positive experience. I’d probably not pay for it unless I had actual serious back pain, but I do see the value in it more than Charlier Harper.
