You made the first step of seeking long-lasting pain relief from a chiropractor. You made an appointment and went. So, what comes next? Most chiropractors encourage a second appointment. If yours makes the suggestion, what can you expect?
The review of findings. Typically, your first chiropractic appointment will be used to gather your medical history and diagnosis the problem. This may have involved an MRI or x-ray. Some chiropractors can diagnose a problem immediately, but others may review your tests and physical exam in between your first and second appointment. At your second appointment, they will review the findings with you. For example, if you suffer from ongoing headaches, the problem may be poor posture, stress, or muscle contractions that resulted in spinal distortion.

By definition, the term "high" is a state of being in ecstasy. The word is derived from the Greek ekstasis, which means to be outside oneself. To be high therefore is to be in a category of trance where an individual goes beyond ordinary consciousness resulting in a heightened capacity for exceptional thought and experience.
In early human history, the first humans to try to achieve high are the shamans, monks, or other spiritual guides who use this state to achieve the culmination of their spirituality. Some shamans used drugs taken from plants in order to reach this desired state, while others relied purely on meditation, ritual, music, dance, and other ascetic practices.
