OP must be one of those guys that thinks you can cure cancer with a sauna and minerals. I have seen first hand what doctors can do, including saving multiple children of mine from dying.
As Opposed to médecine, a former co-worker minion of mine used to put essential oils on open wounds and a cold sore, and wondered why the cold sore wasn’t healing ….talk about Jedi level stupidity.
How do the Physical Therapy and Chiropractic communities intersect? I went to a PT who cracked my back and did stim and ice. It was great!
Oh my god, the "home remedies" for cold sores are amazing. I don't mean amazing as in helpful I mean amazing as in crazy.
Oh my god, every pit bull owner is immediately armed with the most insane dog bite facts.This is the new Pit Bull thread. Chiro is mostly BS and nobody should own pit bulls either.
I went to a psychic yesterday. When I got there I knocked on the door. The psychic said, “Who is it?”
So I left…..
You know me I never look at data, right? But I also know the data lies.
You just can't ****ing help yourself, you think you have to insult people. What a prick
Yeah, but that ONE pit bull is already one step into my Ignore Hopper AGAIN.This is the new Pit Bull thread. Chiro is mostly BS and nobody should own pit bulls either.
Come on man, I don't do anything important in my life without consulting with my psychic in Paris.
I was just repeating what you already said, calm down.
I have no interest in arguing with or insulting you.
Cold sore you use lavender essential oil If you have a toe fungus, Peppermint essential oil and its gone in 2 days.
You're like the drunken husband who gives his wife a shiner, then says, "I'm sorry baby, I'll never hit you again." LOL I'm not calling you a drunk or wife beater just making a comment about your inability to NOT insult people.
I haven’t insulted you once in this thread
You’ve called me both a prick and an abusive, manipulative spouse
And I agree numbers can lie. But not the origins of a pseudoscientific practice, which is well documented.
Anyone who wants to trust their health to the result of a seance in iowa (literally how chiropractic was born) is more than welcome to do so.
I've never been to one, but I've watched a lot of YouTube vids.
Saw some gal beg for mercy and the doc ignored her. That is totally uncool.

****. You infer I have no critical thinking or understand data?
Of course I called you a prick, because you are, BUT the rest of your 2nd sentence is an outright ****ING LIE.
I said in my post #97....., "Im not calling you a drunk or a wife beater." So don't ****ing say I did, okay?
Even your last sentence is hypocritical. You say people are more than welcome to do use chiropractic, then you undermine and critque why they would do that. Make up your mind.
First of all what people do is really none of your business and as I said earlier I personally don't rely on you to help me make medical decisions. Hell, I tell my primary doctor "NO!" all the time. That's why they call it a practice, he can practice on someone else.
By the way, this HAS been frustrating but fun, kong, I just hate when we have to get personal. I'm done with the thread responses to you now....unless you use another poor choice of words. LOL
**EDITED** I don't see being called a prick as a big deal, if I had a buck for everytime someone called me a prick I could guy the room a round at a bar. It's not even that offensive, its just one person's characterization of me...or you.

OP asked, I answered with nothing but facts.
You didn’t like my answer and now here we are.
It’s okay.
And you can call me whatever you like as many times as you like or infer whatever you like about me. I don’t mind.
But I do have a question about your “my lawn awaits” comment from yesterday - I thought you didn’t take care of your lawn?

Well, it wasnt supposed to rain til about 5, and so at 1:30 or so I hopped on my mower and at 2:00 it started to rain, so I got the front and two of my sides done but nothing in the middle backyard, so it rained all night and this morning, so in a couple days looks like i get to do the whole thing all over again. LOL BTW, my son suggested I start getting more sun, and I cleared it with my neurosurgeon and he gave me the okay. Until a couple weeks ago, my Guatemalan neighbor and his son was mowing and weed eating my yard. So, anything else in your audit regarding my lawn?

Blackwood I believe. He was a hoot and had a couple sons that were pretty good fb players I think
Look you don’t believe in them good for you you .Bit every NFL team employs them. And for some people they help with their issues. There are good and bad ones just like any other profession. So for you to bash every Chiropractor is wrong IMO.
Are Chiropractors Legitimate?
For lower back pain or neck pain, chiropractic care is a good option. But watch out for the chiropractor who oversells his abilities.
Pit Bulls and Chiro = BadThis is the new Pit Bull thread. Chiro is mostly BS and nobody should own pit bulls either.
Wolves = Good
Couldn't d
I couldn't disagree with this more. I have had way too many issues fixed but you definitely need to find the right one for yourself.
I was in the chiropractors-are-quacks camp, largely because my college roommate’s dad was an orthopedic surgeon. And I had heard all the negative talk.
A couple decade’s later, I had a back problem that was getting worse and not better. So I went to an orthopedic surgeon and got some X-rays. And surprise, they wanted to perform surgery. I was hoping for a physical therapy routine, but they were pressing for surgery.
Someone mentioned a chiropractor that they thought was really good, so I went to them. I was cured in 3 sessions. First session, instructed to notice what positions made the pain better. And made it worse. Second session, took my feedback and gave me two stretches to try at home. Third session, was to report that the stretches were working. He gave me a back crack in the last session which I felt was unnecessary. But I was grateful for what he had done.
I feel like the orthopedic surgeon did me a disservice by not recommending physical therapy first. It obviously would have worked.

Kong, to be fair, early medicine was pretty brutal and archaic. So what does that prove?
Blood letting, leaches, and more. The Natzis used Jews to determine the affect of jet and rocket flight in tests. Lots of stupid things and stupid people have been in the “medical world”. One could argue this last pandemic was one of total medical common sense gone down the drain. I seem to remember the constant battle cry to “follow the science.” How did that work out? Still have complete confidence?

For non-sciatic (shooting electrical pain down the leg) back pain, there is no real difference between chiropractor vs PT vs conservative management at home (all things being equal).
Yes. Everyone’s success stories ITT are akin to visiting a massage therapist or PT.
Or just stretching/exercising properly and being less sedentary.
“The right one” seems to be a chiro who doesn’t practice chiro, per anecdotes.
Chiros cracked backs when we were blood letting. They’re still doing it. The letting? Not so much.
Well said. Couldn't be more right. And Cam Taylor Britt won't get drafted.
BIG NO!!
I've had back problems for 3 decades now. People I know set me up with their chiropractors that they each swore by. Many of them paid the guy for me to go to prove their point. All in all, been to about a dozen over the years. Not one made me any better, some made it worse. But by far, the reason I will NEVER, EVER go again, and never give them an ounce of credibility, is that every single one did something vastly different. No two were remotely the same. That is NOT scientific. One used hot towels, another had a machine that stretched and popped bones, another did massage, yet another rolled dowels up and down my back (boy did that hurt for a week with no gain for it), one pinched my belly area to get rid of the "bile", and one tickled my feet saying it was a type of acupuncture. Not making up any of this. The whole field is nuts if you ask me; quacks & charlatans.
If I didn't see & experience it, I wouldn't have believed it.

And basically this is what it comes down to , there are good chiropractors just like there are bad ones. Just like your story of the OS that wanted to do unnecessary surgery.there are good and bad OS.
