I am seeing a chiropractor due to a very bad car accident I was in almost a year ago. For those of you who may not know.. a chiropractor places you on a table and adjusts your spine.. Your back cracks and (for me) it feels really great!
Well today we got to really joking around and laughing, so much so that I forgot to adjust the face cradle before my upper back adjustment. During an upper back adjustment, I lay on my tummy, face in the face cradle and he really PUSHES HARD on my upper back which squashes my face into the face cradle. Usually I remind him to spread the face cradle apart so there is no pressure on my mouth or braces.
It was only a spam-second before he made the adjustment when I realized I was laying, full pressure on my mouth! By then it was too late. *CRUNCH* (the sound was from my mouth not my back!)
All the force seemed to go right to my mouth, crushing my teeth into the face cradle. Two of my brackets popped off and the inside of my mouth was left bleeding from all of my braces being squashed into my lips.
My teeth are hurting! I have an emergency appointment at 3pm today at my Ortho's. I can't believe only two brackets came off with that amount of forces on my mouth. That was a nasty crunching sound, I thought I had lost them all.
My Chiropractor feels absolutely terrible and I told him it wasn't his fault. I'm normally the one to reminds him to spread the face cradle as I'm the only one who needs it adjusted. Today I wasn't' paying attention. So a big reminder to everyone. If you ever go for a massage, or a chiropractor adjustment REMEMBER TO ADJUST THE FACE CRADLE.
