re: Thoughts on Chiropractic care?

My wife had the same sort of experience. She’s a massage therapist. PT basically making her do shite she does anyway to rehab and charging $150 a visit. Meanwhile the bone and joint clinic just wanting her to take Vicodin. She hates meds. Chiropractor got an MRI and developed a plan which was more like what I think physical therapy should look like.

I think good chiropractors combine good physical therapy practices with medical ideas and their own ideas to solve problems. There is a lot of room in that field for quacks so care should be taken in choosing them.

Every NFL team offers Chiropractic care. Several years ago there was a sideline shot of a Falcons plauer being adjusted during a game.

A gifted chiropractor is a lifesaver. Without a solid rec from a trusted friend though, it may take 3-6 visits before you can decide if that one is worth a shite.

I use them as needed when I tweak something or stove up from stress and sitting at a desk too long.

I would not commit to that big of a plan. Tell him you will decide as you go along.

If it’s not “right”, cancel your next appointment and find a new one. Some of these guys live and breathe being at the top of the knowledge curve and are great at their craft.


Some are just ‘bambulance chasers

The problem is anytime you do a manual neck adjustments like they do, there is always a possibility of an artery rupture which can result in a stroke

One time I saw a chiro dig under my friend’s shoulder blade with his fingers, then latch on and yank up.


I decided I was never going to a chiropractor that day

Find an osteopathic physician that into physical medicine. Will change lives.

Does this look shady as shite?

For that much go to someone good.

Damn baw, I might have this maybe, or something kinda similar. Right at my breast bone down the center of my chest. If I hold my arms out straight in front of me and make a fist, it hurts (sometimes) to make my fists touch when held out straight in front of me. I recently seen where some people were saying that the old school way of doing bench presses were the wrong way to do it and I question if that was the cause of my problems. It doesn't really bother me much but a few times a year. Only reason why I mentioned this is because I noticed that it seemed to happened when I slept funny. Seemed like when I slept on my side was when it happened the most. Usually I just sleep on my back and never have problems but noticed it when sleeping on my side. Try sleeping on your back more baw.
