Hey, Chiropractors know how to open up channels of energy flow which cause stimulation, I had the very odd experience of an orgasm at a woman chiropractor once. I was not attracted to her, it was purely the manipulation that caused it. Very interesting though-- I started reading about new exercises after that to affect the same pathways on my own.
My mother only sees Osteopaths, I've been to a few with her--they do generally have a broad knowledge of Western and Easter medicine, which is nice.
On topic: I had bone creaking as a child--I'm tall and lanky, I was 5' 10'' at age 16--I grew a ton from age 12-16, apox. 2 inches a year. One thing I've noticed is that when I'm highly active physically I do not have the same amount of bone creaking, as when I'm less physically active. My pre-teen and teen years of horseback riding, basketball, track, backpacking--I remember as being 'quiet'. But, I became less active in my child bearing time (early 20's) and the creaking/clicking came back. When I started exercising and doing CR at age 25, I noticed the reduction in creaking, clicking and popping. Last year at age 31 I went through a move, I lived in an apartment for a while--and did not get regular exercise in--since I was a single mother with three children. I simply didn't get the time, my youngest was not yet in school. This past year, being in a house again with a treadmill, I increased my activity--reading and walking uphill daily. I was acutely aware of any popping my bones made, when I was with my new husband (hey I'm a girl!) I'm sure he didn't notice, or care-- but I did. I was happy to see again over the year that as my activity level went up, doing 3 miles at least each day, with 5 as my goal, and sometimes up to 7 or 9--again my creaking and popping went down. The past 2 months, I've been in some of the best shape of my life--I've started intensive training (weights, lunges, group sessions) to be a rollergirl (I'm now officially CryoGirl
) and I love how quiet my body is
Gives me confidence in the bedroom... (ok not that I need that, when I drool over my guy anyway!--but I still get those 'body image' things that seem to be indicative to a lot of females in our culture)
So I sort of developed over time a theory that increased exercise helps clear the gas, strengthens the muscles, keeps things lubricated. It could be that the times I 'click, creak and pop' I simply go longer before moving vs. moving most of the day.
As an aside, if you are purchasing a new mattress--I love the adjustable air mattresses since you can have it super soft, medium or hard--however you like it. If I'm sore from a hard workout, I seem less sore in the morning after I sleep on a very soft mattress--I'm not sure if it has to do the with the pressure points, or with my sleep simply being deeper and more effective in healing--I'd guess it is the latter.
So take your fish oil/healthy fats, increase your exercise, add in weight bearing, some fast muscle twitch work, and try a softer sleeping surface
