The problem with a lot of chiropractic videos on KZread is that it makes chiropractic look like an extreme sport. With titles such as "This popped SO LOUD!" makes it sound like the cavitation is the Hollywood adjustment that cures everything. In reality the popping sound is clinically insignificant. As a Chiropractor myself, of course I'm biased, but chiro care can be life changing for some people when used appropriately. These videos which are all about the pops and clicks really grind my gears! Thanks for this video.

I agree, and most people don't realize the micraphones they set up to capture that sound. Some Chiropractiors wont ev, use those straps, unless they need the extra leverage and nevy never jump. Every one I have been to made fine adjustments. After looking at images.

Seriously, my chiropractor has never done anything like these videos.

I’ve had y-strap adjustments and knowing what I know now, I wish I had not had them or really had chiropractic care at all. After continuing to decline in chiropractic care, I finally saw a neurosurgeon who diagnosed degenerative disk disease. All of the manipulation I was receiving at the chiro was exacerbating my issues. I saw significant improvement with PT, lots of rest, and epidural steroid injections.

Your father just left my Navy recruiting office. He told me you are on KZread and to look you up… I been following you for a year already but it was cool to say I met your father. God bless you from Bossier City!!!

I have permanent nerve loss in one arm due to a chiropractor doing mainpulations when in fact it was a bone spur poking a nerve root at C7

Another Chiropractor agreeing - Dr. Webb is on point here. There is no way in hell I would work on an AS patient like this. Muscle work and stretching within tolerance - sure. Manual adjusting like this - nope. I work on several elderly patients with osteoporosis and just use gentle instrument adjusting and a lot of soft tissue work. You have to tailor the treatment to the patient.

This is exactly what the one I see does none of this crack every joint just for the sake of it the soft tissue stuff is a bit intense but keeps me at work I’ve had AS go years now just can’t recommend a good chiropractor enough

As a Chiropractor who uses manipulation frequently in my office, I completely agree with Dr. Webb. While the risks for fracture are likely fairly low, it doesn’t seem like the risk to reward ratio makes sense here. Thank you for making this video and for pointing out the risks. This is important for prospective patients to understand.

Thank you doc for the input!

Agree with you Dr. Webb on the type of adjustment we see here! Chiropractors go through extensive testing and credentialing, can easily treat patients with gentle techniques and modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound and more, and can be very effective, commonly order MRI studies in such a case, make proper referrals if necessary. I'm a practicing chiro for 26 years, love your channel, and purchased your book. Appreciate the video!

Chiros aren’t real doctors

New viewer here! As someone with AS, just seeing those adjustments made me gasp! I've had it for under a decade and we caught it decently quickly, so physical therapy and a biologic have been doing pretty well for me, so no fusions yet. Great video!

Thank you. I was wondering after seeing those "miracle" videos. They can take advantage of the emotions we feel from our pain points.

Those back pops were crazy

This video was particularly well written

I was waiting for his head to pop off omg so crazy. I have 9 vertebrae fused together fr scoliosis when I was 12 I am 62 now

Super fascinating!

This is a great video on this type of pathology. in the end i hope the chiropractor performing the adjustment to that young man sees this!

Absolutely agree 100%

I have a.s. I am in pain all the time. I have seen a primary, a rheumatologist, a chiropractor, and a physical therapist. I have had every scan and test. my bones hurt and it's difficult to walk. It seems that people either don't know how to treat this or just don't.

I have been just diagnosed with AS but also had four bone spurs removed from my spinal cord 2 years prior to the diagnosis. I can not imagine what a chiropractor would do if they adjusted an area where the bone spurs where digging into my spinal cord.

I was undiagnosed for several decades, and I have severe ankylosing spondylitis. My rheumatologist caused it end stage. They don’t treat me for it all except pain medication because he says it can’t get any worse because I have so much new bone growth and so much fusion. Years ago I went to the chiropractor and he told me he wouldn’t touch me with a 10 foot pole, he said move and he could break my neck. Is that true? A few months ago, I fell in the yard and broke my tibial plateau. I am suggested to the doctors that since I’m postmenopausal and a female of course, that maybe I should have a bone scan. He just kinda looked at me like a calf, staring at a new gate! He made me feel stupid so I just shut up. Was being stupid? I was surprised I broke my tibial plateau, falling in the grass. I suggested a CT scan of my upper spine because it is completely fused and I’ve had more pain in that area than before the fall. They didn’t do that either, not even a regular x-ray to see if they could see a bone shipped away or something like that, my rheumatologist told me that anytime I fall to get a CT scan. I don’t usually do that if I am not, but he told me it wasn’t if I break my neck, but when! he told me to stop riding my bicycle not to use equipment that was automatic like a treadmill or something that could cause me to fall if anything happened. I don’t know if they’re being overly cautious. They’re not treating me with anything. I can’t take NSAIDs because of my kidneys, and they told me I was too advance for biologics prescribe me pain medication

I'm scared of when the chiropractors make your neck crack. I've had it done but will not do it again.

Informative Dr. I am a Zimbabwean who wants to get into Oncology. Whats your encouragement Dr?

I have ankylosing spondylitis taking all my meds including physical therapy. The physical therapy causes me more pain and the therapist tried cracking my back without telling me!! And without success!! So my friend I worked with in a medical clinic [x-ray tech], felt my vertebrae and CRACK, CRACK- all my pain went away almost instantly. The vertebrae is problematic since my auto accident. Chiropractic is not for everyone, but it really helped me..

Can someone with chronic AS have a full spinal fuse, to make sure the nerves are protected and dont get pinched in the AS fusing process?

why do I keep on expecting him to wave a wand everytime he says "Ankylosing Spondylitis!"

Can the ringdinger or ystrap cause a vertebral dissection?

Gosh, I wish I lived close enough for you to be my physician!

Just a great 👍 👌 job dr The lord Jesus 🙏 🙌 has bless U keep up.

Could you do a video on chiropractic care' risk or benefits post spinal lumbar fusion?

@gbal05

8 күн бұрын

Depending on the level of fusion. If it’s partial fusion, you could adjust above or below. Adjustments would be light drops for lumbar spine and instrument adjusting for the cervical spine. For complete fusion, adjustments are contraindicated.

@@gbal05 thanks. I only had l4 and 5 fused. That is good to know.

This is a somewhat controversial topic whether chiro is good for AS. Is there any studies or evidence that what this doc is doing is dangerous or problematic? I can’t find anything.

Hey doctor antonio, I am a 22 year old with moderate to severe bulging discs in my L3-S1. Including a dehydrated disc between my L3-L4. All contributing to lateral spinal stenosis between my L3-S1 and foraminal stenosis in my Sacrum. I was going to ask if you could maybe go over what is happening to me in a video? What is the best thing I can do for pain? My appreciation would go beyond words. This whole situation has left me feeling hopeless. I have had bulging discs since I was 15 years old. I don’t understand where the stenosis came from? I have tried physical therapy, medication, and epidural steroid shots. I am afraid surgery is my next step.

Sorry Buddy. Sounds like we are in the same boat.

Most of the theatrics and sensational, dramatic noise are built into the chiropractic machines.

I have NO trust in chiros, I am fused from l1-s1 and either would never go! My question is, if what this chiropractor is doing is SO dangerous, it just kinda speaks to my lack of trust… and for the record was DOESNT THE CHRIO KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS?!?! What a joke those “doctors “ are…

I would never use a Chiro, for anything. I think it's complete nonsense. Use a Physiotherapist.

That guy looks like he’s fused. You should never do that. I have it and I see a chiro but I am not fused. That is so dangerous to do. I am cringing at the thought of it!! 😳😬😱

I just want to point out, I don't know what the hell this dude was doing, but every chiropractor I have been to, made fine tune adjustments. When they did use a strap, I was 589 LBS they needed more leverage. It was a not used just wanked on. Never once has someone jumped to force something.

Yikes

Oh my goodness! People actually let these procedures be performed on them? I thought his head was going to crack off! That can not be real. Why don't you go see a real doctor!

Oh yes, because there isn't any risk with your poisonous medications. I would definitely rather take my chances with the Chiro than take something like Simponi or Methotrexate.

Hell no thank you

Always consult with your licensed drug dealer, because there are no Pharma profits or kickbacks to the MD with chiropractic care. #NoProfitInHealthyPeople. -signed a AS sufferer.

Why do your professions work against each other? You should work together. So instead of getting adjustments that relive pain and stiffness, you recommend what? Drugs and surgeries? There are so many legitimate alternative therapies that could cure and heal us if you guys would just work together with alternative medicines. I think anybody with half a brain is sick and tired of the medical industry, only treating the body as a machine.

A complimentary approach is best (therapy, diet, exercise, weight loss, etc)

Why go to a Chiropractor when you can go to and KEEP going to a physical therapist? Ya know…actually scientific based & works along side Doctors & Surgeons to make sure a patient is rehabilitated? And what people want is things to be fixed in a finger snap, physical therapy takes time and it’s hard in the beginning so people wanna throw that out. No no no! Just heard of another story of someone being paralyzed because of a chiropractor & it just doesn’t do much/anything to help with pain & symptoms. I’mma say it, Chiropractic schools should be shut down & all chiropractors need their license taken away, give them the ability to go to physical therapy school easily & let them start over.

Ask a chiropractor what they pay in malpractice insurance and then ask yourself if the insurance companies are willing to bet on paying out money for a risky treatment. Bashing an evidence based scope of practice such as chiropractic, in case you doubt you’re welcome to read through millions of case report with objective findings, showing improvements in patients and almost not existent adverse reactions. Then find the few outliers and then compare them to the data found in the allopathic world. You might not be so closed minded from there.
