My wife went to one in 09 for headaches. The chiro took x-rays and claimed her neck was too straight and that it needed to be curved like a question mark. The woman did a single adjustment and caused a vertebral artery dissection right in the office which caused a stroke in my 26 yr old wife. She ended up in icu for little less than a week then had speech and physical therapy for months afterward. Not to mention the high risk of blood clotting and further stroke risk during the stay in icu. We are fortunate she made a near 100% recovery but it was still scary asf to go through. The real icing on the cake is somehow the quack was found not guilty after a 40 hour jury trial. So we got double screwed. Good times.
I've made this joke before but, I'm afraid that if I go to a chiropractor they're gonna look into a camera and say "I'm about to do what one might call a pro gamer move" and just snap my neck
I went to college for massage therapy and one of my professors was a chiropractor (all the rest were practicing or former massage therapists, he taught anatomy and physiology, not technique). This professor told us a fun trick of the trade was to have a patient stand slightly askew while taking an xray of their spine at the beginning of their first appointment and tell them they had a bit of scoliosis, several sessions later, line them up properly and bam! Scoliosis cured! Learned that at 18 and haven't trusted chiropractors since.
There was actually a chiropractor I went to when I was younger who, besides knowing what he was doing and legitimately helping me for $30 a visit, went out of his way to actively report and try to put out of business dangerous chiropractors. Dude was a retired surgeon and professor, was just vibing in retirement and giving people the good poppy pop
If a chiropractor tries any of these little tricks on Charlie they would be a signing their own death certificate. Charlie has had elaborate Self Defense training by non other than Detroit Urban Survival Training
A chiropractor helped with my scoliosis. Then again, he's actually a physical therapist, and previously worked on with multiple cycling and racing world champions before "retiring" to my hometown.
Then his son took over, had one session with him and almost fucking died, never went to a chiro again.
i've been seeing a chiropactor and honestly it as helped a lot.I was having incredibly painful leg pain and now im in a weelchair and i don't feel my legs so yeah!Sucess!
I never understand why chiropractors are covered by medical insurance and massage therapists are not. Massage therapy is way more helpful for pain and they don't rip your head off.
