He said it could be from posture and pinching a nerve or something. He knew a Chiro office that was life changing for him. But get this, the Chiro doesn’t accept insurance and it’s $75 for every 15 minutes you are with him. The first visit takes at least an hour to analyze you.

I decided to look up online what it could be. Turns out it was strain from staring at a monitor all day. I turned the backlight down and changed the color to more yellow. I also downloaded an app that controls the screen for 20 seconds every 20 minutes and forces me to be mindful and focus elsewhere. No more pain.

        It is particularly absurd that he’d recommend a chiropractor for eyesight. The optic nerves don’t go through the spine.

        Do you have a Costco nearby?

          I don’t think Costco near me actually has optometrists. They are opticians, but not eye doctors. I usually just get my glasses from Zenni or EyeBuyDirect, although their prices lately seem to match Costco. As far as contacts, I usually go through my old eye doctor, but I moved and need a new source.

        You really should.

        In your specific case you managed to navigate the situation and develop your own therapy.

        Imagine if someone had a more complex or serious issue and he referred them to a chiropractor.
