Yes I do, just make sure the one you choose actually manipulates you back and not just a Massage
OT: back “adjustments”
- Thread starter NebChicago
- Start date
Not necessarily, the first one I went to was a older guy in Concordia Ks, after he did my adjustments he told me he didn’t want to see me back for at least 6 months. It was two years that I needed another adjustment I agree the ones that want you to keep coming back on a weekly basis are just taking your money
My classmate is a PT , he sent his own mother to a chiropractor.
If there were ever a post to sum up King - I vote for this one. 😂
I should also point out that I’ve never been on the board during the season and find that King reached another level on game week. It kind of gets me fired up for the game even if he is bagging on Chiro’s.
What you're omitting is what the x-ray looked like BEFORE you went to see the chiro. You just assume that your vertebrae were all aligned and the chiro messed them up - but you have no way to prove that unless you had an x-ray before you started.
Did you?
Also, what was your doc's advice about getting them straightened again? Some type of pill, right? Just take some muscle relaxers and all will be well?
Knock it off newbie, kong doesn't need anymore ego boost, he's got that handled himself.
Or back surgery...which feels like it has about a 10% success ratio and people I know who had it are worse off than they were before.
I'm not really planning on being involved in the game threads much this year, but we'll see
very excited for Thurs
10% chance the surgery will benefit the patient, 100% chance the Dr. gets paid, regardless of result.
(I can't stand Doctors).
Oh my god...picture it...2018
Coming back from a game in Lincoln and the dude driving takes some scenic route back to Omaha.
Everyone needs to take a piss and get more road beers...we stop and get out at a gas station.
One of the dudes gets gas station egg rolls!
Everyone was like...what the ****
Sorry you had a bad experience. I have had some back injuries and a chiropractor I went to really helped. Regardless of how the occupation started there are definitely chiropractors who have helped people.
I agree. I have never know of anyone that had back surgery and came out better than they were before the surgery.
In some cases, but in other cases it is the opposite. I had my back injuries when I was otherwise at my healthiest point in life and living a real active lifestyle. Because of that, I don't do much manual labor anymore other than the basics you have to do in the yard and in the house.
I did after about 10 injections and months of pain meds. My back is not perfect, but it doesn't slow me down.
are you roping me into a monthly yoga subscription?
If you stop moving...you get rusty.
My Dad retired forever ago and has spent that time relaxing on the coach watching news and movies. He can hardly move now.
My Mom worked forever and just retired well into her mid 70's and walks all the time and is totally healthy.

I’ve never been, will never go
It’s akin to visiting a tarot card reader
Many women swear by theirs
The dude I go to when my lower back is out of whack (doesn't happen often) gives immediate relief. Sure doesn't feel like nothing.
But you're right, there are a lot of out of shape people in his office that would benefit from healthier life choices.
Type 2 diabetes is curable with diet and exercise. Same with cholesterol and blood pressure. People don't want to do the work. They will lose toes and have a shit life but not make any lifestyle changes. That's why there are chiros and drugs.
I work out most days, diet is fairly good, have visible abs (barely) and I've never taken any medication other than an antibiotic after knee surgery in college. I see a chiro every few weeks bc I've had some previous injuries that it helps with.
Start taking your old man to the bar with you
I can be a constant fixture in my office chair it I'm not careful.
What do I do, and what may help your dad? i have my smartphone alarm set every hour from 8 a.m till 8 p.m. to ring and I just get my ass up and go out and walk/jog to the corner and back.
Its not much exercise, but it keeps me moving. Then on weekly basis, I increase the distance I walk each hour.
If you never want to get another adjustment again, go buy a high end massage chair.
Best $6k I ever spent. It will crack your back, massage your arms and grab your arms and legs and stretch you like a piece of taffy. Back always feels good.
Dude, I LOVE those chairs!
It was a bit annoying when the manager of that massage chair store kicked me out for sitting in the chair "chest first" but, **** him.
That's probably what he was afraid you were going to try to do next!
I LOVE it that a thread about F'n Chiropractics gets turned into diabetes and fat people. I know I'm one to talk but, obsessed much boys?
I have tried those at the mall and the Singapore airport has them too.. not bad for the price in that scenario, but I probably wouldn't pop for one at home.
Another option is an inversion table, which is a lot cheaper and also can give good results, but it's also easier to over-do it. I would go completely upside down, and that helped get movement going in the low back again when it was completely frozen, but then I did it too much, and it would cause me inflammation and pain.
Yoga is probably something I should do more. My flexibility is so bad though, I can barely keep up with the beginner class.
On a related note, when I started sleeping on the floor, it was a chore to get up off the floor. Over time, that has changed drastically, so much so that I took notice.
Read about a study that was done on people over 50 and their ability to get up off the floor having a correlation to lifespan.. kind of interesting side note.
My son loves his inversion table and he does a ton of pull ups, that really keeps the back straight and strong.
