<p>Somehow I injured my neck on Saturday. I woke up Sunday morning and found it extremely painful to hold up my head. Every jerk of my standard transmission car was painful. It hurt whenever I wasn&#8217;t holding my neck with my hands.  I was almost tempted to ask someone to get me one of those soft neck braces that doctors used to recommend.  I even tried ibuprofen to get to sleep even though I dislike pills, but it only helped a little bit.  After trying EFT, BSFF and time without any relief, I started making calls to find help. On Tuesday I had a massage and my first ever chiropractor appointment. I think the magic combination was a treatment by my chiropractor <a href="http://www.ricechiropractic.ca" target="_blank">James Rice</a> followed by a treatment by my Reiki energy healer <a href="http://www.virginiasmith.ca" target="_blank">Virginia Smith</a> and then sleeping with one of my subtle <a href="http://www.reachyourpotential.ca/energydiskinfo.html" target="_blank">energy disks</a> under my neck.  I had substantially less pain and was able to move my neck enough to look people in the eyes.  After several days and treatments I am able to move my neck (almost) normally again and I don&#8217;t have any pain, only discomfort.  The best explanation for the cause of the neck injury came from my chiropractor&#8217;s receptionist &#8211; I must have hurt it when I pushed a school bus full of screaming children out of the way of danger <img src='http://www.gethealthier.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thank you also to my massage therapist Cindy at Langley&#8217;s Spa Utopia for the wonderful relaxing and pain-reducing massage.</p>
