hey but let me tell you everything is all conceptual so everything is technically a cult, but we just need to concentrate all ideas into one understanding, one love, one world peace, using the internet as a tool to fight disinformation. perhaps casually suggesting this in a video may have drastic consequences on the world and help fight all misinformation by informing so many that delusion is all around us because we all come from different backgrounds, so technically everyone is a hypocrite at any point in life if they've learned anything at all so labels don't do us any good and are really just classifications for understanding reality. To call someone a hypocrite you must be a hypocrite yourself and recognize the hypocricy in any label. All things are natural, artificial is the construct of our imagination where we seperated ourselves from the natural world in our own individual savior complexes.

To be fair, all of these anecdotal examples can be matched with equal or worse examples of medical malpractice. More people die every year from medical malpractice than car accidents and wars... combined. If there is a chiropractic cult, then there is a medical cult as well. Pharmaceuticals have a very curious history too, much of it fueled by lobbyists and profit seeking motives and corruption. We have all been a witness to the pharmaceutical cult that swept the world and recommended treatments that did not do what they claimed and made you more likely to become ill. Despite the evidence, these products continue to be pushed onto the people by captured officials in the medical field and governments.

we need to invest in education so this doesn't happen. The problem with stuff like IBS is that it stems from stress or other emotional blocks, mind body and soul. many people believe the mind is the rationalizing part, but it's the emotions and microgut/heart that regulate emotions, thus thoughts, thus your mind. This is why chiropractics sometimes works for body blocks of emotional trauma, if your emotional trauma is mental and has to do with just your self awareness then therapy can help, but that's a very limited occasion for most.

What should people do if they have back pain? Also I’m starting to form a little hump on the top of my back and lower neck

After 130 treatments in a year for sciatica and a herniated disc, my Gonstat chiropractor shattered a disc in my lower back. I was partially paralyzed from the waist down. I had to go to the ER, and they had to do a Discectomy, where the surgeon had to remove my broken disc and put in a plate with screws into my spine. For 1 year I had to use catheters just to urinate and I had bowel movements about 1 every 5 days for 3 years and couldn't get an erection for over 2 years. I had spinal nerve damage that took about 8 years to get most of my feeling back. But thank God, I am finally almost back to normalcy. My Chiropractor had a very busy practice with probably over 50 patients a day in Chula Vista, CA. If you have sciatica from a herniated disc, get the surgery. I was afraid to and will regret it every day.

Hi! Chiropractor here. Hate to be THAT guy, but there is no way a chiropractor shattered a disc in your back. For one, discs are not ossified, so that cannot “shatter”. They do grow more dehydrated with age however. You probably went to your Chiro with an acute fracture of the spinous or body of the vertebrae when you should have gone to the ER. Now your Chiro is 100% responsible if they did not xray your acute injury and determine you were not fit for adjustments. But comments on KZread videos about that one time a chiropractor paralyzed me are almost always fake fear mongering

I had a very similar experience. Every Neurologist and Neurosurgeon has warned me to never let a chiropractor touch me. My mother took my health very seriously, and actually had to fight to get my diagnoses, because what is wrong with me (at the time) was very poorly understood, and not many doctors even knew what it was, much less effective treatments for said illness. Because of how hard we had to fight to even get a diagnosis, my parents considered alternative treatments. We did end up going to a chiropractor, but my mother offered herself up as a test, because my issue is unfortunately partially genetic, and she had bowel issues because of it for a few weeks. It makes me sick to think about what happened to her, and how she put herself in danger for me like that. Even the intelligent can be fooled by quackery if not given the time of day for long enough, and desperation starts to set in.

Absolutely worst pain I've ever experienced and I tried 3 months of physical therapy after thinking it'd go away after the first 2 months. The PT helped a lot but I'd still lose most sleep to shooting pain stabbing me awake multiple times a night.

I'd spent years saying the practice was pseudoscience and a waste of time and money, but it really saved me. Scams are scams, but I stand by at least one office out there.

I spent thousands of dollars on migraine and back muscle and spinal issues, until one chiropractor accidentally mentioned that all of my issues stemmed from one leg being shorter than another.

I went to the chiropractor in 2018/19 for really bad lower and upper back pain and a twisty ribcage. I was told I had scoliosis, and I believed it until I was 21 (2021). £50 per week, so £200 per month. I eventually saw a physiotherapist for a second opinion and they said I’ve never had scoliosis. The reason for my back pain is that one leg is shorter than the other so my hips are not balanced and my ribcage compensates. You could literally see it in the way I stood! I was given a little block to put in my shoes and my back pains gradually got less and less. Yes, the back cracks were satisfying but did nothing.

Hey! someone that also has uneven legs here. my chiropractor did a full body x ray before treating me and actually found scoliosis as a result of the uneven hips and compensation. after all, that does cause curvature in the back which is scoliosis. i'd also like to clarify that because the scoliosis is a result of the compensation, it is not something that should be treated, which may have been what your chiropractor was attempting to do. so maybe you had a dodgy chiro that was attempting to correct the curvature in your spine.

Whenever someone on the internet brings up chiropractors I’m obligated to talk about the time a chiropractor told me adjustments would cure my depression and I wouldn’t need my antidepressants after about 1 year of adjustments. This was my first visit to the place, it was just the consultation. I was 15. They also had an empty 5 gallon water cooler jug that they were filling up with their patients old prescription medications that they didn’t need anymore because getting adjustments cured them. It was between a quarter and a third of the way full. I think the worst part of this is that my mom, who has a masters in psychology and has been in the field since the late 90s, believed them.

Agreed, I think chiropractic therapy would be kinda fun to do one time and feel like how you crack your own back right? But if you think about the mechanics of it, it’s literally just cracking your bones by popping the synovial fluid bubbles in your joints. So I think the best way to convince people that it doesn’t work is to just slowly go through the mechanics of how it works. It’s literally just popping fluid found in your joints to make a satisfying sound. How would it cure depression? Unless they reached into your skull and cracked your brain, that wouldn’t do anything. Hopefully your mom doesn’t believe that nonsense at all anymore, I mean cmon man, if they said it could fix certain joint or heck even muscle pain? I would be more convinced. But as soon as they start saying cracking your joints could cure depression, acne, or things that aren’t related to your bones and the connecting tissue then it’s just nonsense.

I did a thorough physical examination and honestly she was in great shape, moved and felt well in all ranges passive and active. I did a treatment and she was moving normally. Gave her some exercises and told her to come back if needed. I knew she wouldnt, because she thought i was useless because i didnt find the made up 'subluxation' She was perfectly healthy but had been made to believe all her lifes problems came from one physical place, that could only be managed by her regular chiro visits. She needed a psyche more than anything to help her find a way out of the brain washing.

I worked in Spine surgery and one of my patients was rolled in by wheel chair by her friend as a "walk in". She had a displaced C2 fracture and required emergency neurosurgery. She just went to a chiropractor.

She worked on my fascia, which was really rigid and causing pain, on muscle tention, taught me exercises to strengthen my back, taught me stretches, posture. It changed my life. She's one of the few good ones. She uses science, and didn't promise miracles, just down-to-earth practices. Did she crack my back? Yes, and it caused immediate relaxation in some of the painful areas and the exercises she taught helped my overall condition. I know probably most are quacks. But a few do a really good job. P.s.: The pains haven't come back.

my dad works in spinal surgeries, and it is INSANE how many patients he sees as a result of chiropractic gone wrong Edit: holy shit… was not trying to start a war about how spine surgery is the greatest thing of all time. And i’m certainly not saying that if you have a little back pain that you should jump right into spine surgery. First off, my dad isn’t a surgeon, never said he was. He’s a neuromonitor. Second I wasn’t saying surgery NEVER goes wrong. Ofc it does, and no the medical system isn’t fantastic. But I didn’t make it. And sometimes surgery is necessary. My only point was that it’s very common for him to see patients who were paralyzed because of bad chiropractic services. ALSO for those saying “what about spinal surgeries that cripple people” When you go into a surgery like that, you’re informed of the risks. And you know the purpose/ rewards of the operation. However, with chiropractic people are not told the very serious risks, and are mislead about the “rewards” At best it can temporarily relieve pain, at worst it can paralyze you. That was the point of my initial comment.

I worked a job loading and delivering heavy cases of wine and kegs of beer. After repetitive stress on my back joints and one major injury in my sacroiliac, I left the profession. But I never healed properly. I went to see a chiropractor, eventually, someone who seemed intelligent and competent and not one to make wild promises. I quickly realized the care he was providing was only short-term relief, and wasn't going to fix anything on its own. But I credit my chiropractor with making me more aware of my back muscles, joints, and bones and how I use them. The areas of my body he focused his attention on were the trouble spots. I began to use my body in smarter ways to accomplish physical tasks, not trying to over-exert when my body was stiff, etc. I certainly got my money's worth out of the experience. I feel like the treatment was a low-key success. I wouldn't go back to see him though.

I’ve been to both, many different ones for neck and back issues. I’ve had good and bad experiences with both. What I noticed was the ones that made me feel better did similar things with muscles and bones combined. The biggest difference was the spinal decompression from the chiropractor. Not the yanking type, but the extended pull. It helped more than anything.

When I was 23, I had a terrible pinched nerve in lower back that was excruciating pain, 10/10 pain when in the wrong position. I could barely get in and out of a car without assistance and could not get up from bed without sliding to the floor. It lasted for 2 days and was so bad I was in tears. I thought I would not be able to work anymore or function normally. My family helped me to a chiropractor and he cracked my lower back in that spot. The relief was instant. I could leave the office on my own, get in and out of the car on my own, do everything I could do normally after that. The only thing left was a little residual soreness. After 2 more visits I was 100% back to normal. This was 15 years ago. About 5 years ago I had the same thing happen again after moving heavy furniture so I didn't wait and saw a chiropractor who fixed it again. There IS a need for chiropractic treatment given the right circumstances. I don't see them normally, but it's good to know they are there if I ever have that trouble again.

Physical therapy can also make things worse. It's less common than chiropractic injury, but my sister in law was forced by workman's comp to do physical therapy and it permanently worsened her neck pain from a work injury. If she had just been allowed to get surgery right away without physical therapy first, she would be in less pain to this day.

I met a man who had a severe hemorrhagic stroke after a neck adjustment at the chiropractor. Afterwards everything he saw, he would see again, but a smaller version and about 5 seconds after. A bunch of neurologists came and all said “wow that’s weird”. Dunno if he ever recovered

I used to attend a university that allowed the nearby chiropractic school to use some of its lecture halls. One day, I was passing by one of those lecture halls and heard the lecturer (I don't know if it was a professor or a guest lecturer) telling the assembled students that diseases cannot come from bacteria, and I quote, "because your body is full of bacteria and if they could make you sick you would be sick all the time"). I didn't stick around to hear all of the statement that followed, though I vaguely remember them acknowledging viruses as a "possible vector for disease". For the record, the school was known as a "straight" (i.e., only "woo") chiropractic school that also taught homeopathy and was repeatedly disciplined by their accrediting body - not the state/regional college council, but the CHIROPRACTIC accrediting body - for poor curriculum and student outcomes.

If you have any experience with spotting scams whatsoever you could see through it, which is so slimy because you know their target demographic is people who are naive to being swindled and in pain, bad enough to seek help for it, something many people struggle to do at all. It's really gross.

He does none of the crazy stuff shown often online and during my first consultation I had an x-ray done to see the extent of my problems. My greatest benefit is that the debilitating headaches I had regularly for 10 years prior to that that I had gone to doctors in 4 different countries where I lived and was told just to take an ibuprofen, disappeared overnight. I just can't thank him enough. Now I go once every 2 months for a routine adjustment and there have never been promises of miracle cures.

This applies to a ton of things, completely wild alternative medicines have a good track record of being normalized and in one case actually becoming a form of licensed medical doctor, as long as they drop most of their more radical claims and claim exclusively to apply to things people go to physio for, in American medicine. Most Chiropractics do not actually believe this entire alternative medical system...but everything that informs their practice draws from that same model. Much like most DO doctors do not believe in the entire alternative medical system behind osteopathy and only took one class related to it...but basically all of them think the massage-esque part of it is legit for back and muscle pain. And those are actual doctors that can perform brain surgery. The problem is that in America, the difference in cost between actual medical care and literally anything else is so vast that a ton of people get sucked into these semi-snakeoil alternative medical systems to the point that it's easier for western medicine to just quietly endorse some of the least actively harmful get legitimized rather than have them actively trying to convince their adherents to not trust doctors or vaccines. And because something is normalized in America, it tends to get normalized elsewhere even when medical care is infinitely more accessible.

Physical therapist here chiming in! I really dug this mini doc 👌 If we are honest, there is a lot of quackery in both PT and Chiro. At the end of the day they both just give a person the license to practice therapy (with Chiro having WAY more legal wiggle room which causes trouble). What makes the difference is if the professional follows an evidence based practice or a tool/gimmick type practice. In PT school we also learn mobilizations/manipulations of joints. The difference is we are taught (and research shows) these are only useful initially after injury and in conjunction with rehab exercises. Also, only in specific circumstances. A manipulation just changes how the body feels and percieves the manipulated area. The "crack" you hear is basically air releasing from the joint. This is great for temporary relief if pain/discomfort is present. But to be honest, crack or no crack, the end result is the same if you do appropriate rehab exercises. Other shams, or really non-useful modalities, include ultrasound, cupping, that wierd chiro hammer thing, KT tape (in 90% of contexts), scraping tools. Im sure there are plenty more I couldn't think of. Most of these are either placebo or temporarily change a sensation the body is feeling thus altering pain signals. Do these all look sexy? Yes, and great to market to customers. Are they useful beyond extremely rare circumstances? Nope! In either case, if you go to see a PT or a Chiro only stay with them if graded exposure to load and exercise is the bread and butter treatment. If they try and convince you to do another modality make sure they can REALLY explain why before agreeing. After all, YOU are the boss in your treatment. The healthcare professionals around you advise on your situation but you have the final call. As a side note, traction and E-Stim/TENS are great for pain management and muscle re-education with certain injuries/patholgies. The only two techniques/modalties actually worth the time. Ill step off my soap box now. 😅 I welcome constructive discussion friends, whether you agree or disagree.

I suggested seeing a doctor, but he went back to the chiropractor. The following day at work he collapsed in agony so I called an ambulance. He was taken into surgery and his appendix, that the surgeon described as ruptured and gangrenous, was removed. A few days later back at work he told us how he was going to sue the hospital because his chiropractor told him they didn't need to be cut open and bits taken out, all he had needed was another manipulation of his spine. I told him his chiropractor was definitely manipulating him!

It's been nearly a week since I went to the chiropractor and I still feel sore in the areas where they adjusted me! Although my back does feel better, my neck feels way worse. They did do X-rays which I do have a neck injury due to putting something together but my doctor told me that they should have requested an MRI before they adjusted me the same day. My doctor told me whatever you do, do not go back, get an MRI or go to an orthopedic doctor or a neurosurgeon or even physical therapy might be a better option but he said even before I do physical therapy I need to know what type of injury I have because he does believe dad I probably have injured my disc on my neck and have some nerve damage. He said do not put any pressure on it and he also said that just one wrong adjustment could further injure me. I couldn't see my doctor for a couple months because he was booked. But I'm glad I saw him today and my family was trying to tell me to give it more chances but we should all know when something is not working for us. As they say, not one size fits all!

I had lower back pain for 8 years following an assault, and my chiropractor was able to make my lower back pain disappear entirely after two sessions. No other medical intervention was able to achieve what he did, and I'm truly grateful for that. That said: Never ever has my chiropractor made any of the curative claims mentioned in this video. Perhaps this is because the practice is regulated differently in Canada, taking a strictly musculoskeletal focus? 🤷

I started a chiropractic massage clinic with my ex girlfriend. She was the chiropractor and I started to feel like she really had no idea what she was doing. Then we went to a seminar for chiropractors and it blew my mind. It wasn’t about healing, it felt like a huge crazy cult that was all about how to bill patients for more money. There were many millionaires there so their systems as far as money collection do work well, as far as chiropractic itself I have never been to one since.

People misuse chiropractors. I occasionally get dislocated ribs due to a history of open heart surgery, chiropractors can put them back in place. Where exactly did I get scammed?

Very interesting discussion. It seems to me that anyone with the title "Dr." in front of their name suffers from a serious ego trip--chiropractors, medical doctors, and higher ed professionals alike. Everyone is lying about stuff for personal gain. Personal discernment and communication with one's own body seem essential right about now. You can't tell up from down anymore because of money and the power it holds over almost everyone. Thanks so much for your high quality, carefully researched video. I appreciate this work. 🙂

To anyone who has been hurt, scammed, or otherwise harmed by a chiropractor: it was not your fault. *it was not your fault.* Chiropractic is so often my presented as medicine. Chiropractors are good at making themselves seem legitimate and marketing themselves as healers. With hindsight, it’s easy to look back and see the holes and red flags. It is not your fault if you missed, overlooked, ignored, or whatever word you want to use, them. You shouldn’t have to be looking out for red flags when seeking medical treatment. I don’t know what you went through, but I’m guessing that you probably had/have some type of long term problem that was ignored and/or treatment wasn’t working. I’ve been there. I know the desperation, the fear, and the resignation. I know the feeling when someone finally believes you, when they take you seriously, when they say they can help you. It’s easy to ignore red flags and dismiss concerns when this person/people are listening. What happened wasn’t your fault. I hope you’re doing better now. Remember to take your meds, drink water, and get some sleep. ❤️❤️❤️ EDIT, because some of y’all did not get the fucking point of this comment: I’m talking about medical trauma. Something pretty common with trauma is to blame yourself for what happened. It’s never helpful to feel guilty about a traumatic experience. I was hoping to reassure anyone harmed by a chiropractor that they shouldn’t feel guilty for being harmed. It’s especially not helpful to say things along the lines of “well you could’ve googled if chiropractic is legit”. Technically it was possible but it’s a bit late for that now, and blaming someone for being harmed by another person they trusted isn’t fucking helpful. Sure, you can say that one should live their life always looking out for red flags but you shouldn’t have to. Especially in medical settings where there is implicit trust. Chiropractors target vulnerable people. I was 15 when I first saw a chiropractor. I had been dealing with unexplained pain since I was 8 and migraines that I was tools to treat with essential oils since I was 10. In the months leading up to seeing a chiropractor I was in so much pain and was so weak I could barely walk on my own. I struggled to grip a pencil and to type. I went to the ER multiple times and saw multiple specialists who all basically dismissed what was happening, either saying they didn’t know what was wrong or that it anxiety. So when I went to chiropractor that a friend of my mom recommended and they actually listened to me and took me seriously I wanted to believe them. I was skeptical of some of their practices but when the first “medical professional” took me seriously in 7 years I went along with it. Unless you’ve been in that situation where you’re desperate for someone to believe you, you don’t know what it’s like. I don’t want to hear what you would’ve done because until you’re in that situation you don’t truly know. If it seems like I’m angry here it’s because I am. If you dont have someone positive to say, if you’re just going to say we should’ve known better, just don’t comment. If you’re the type of person to see this comment and respond by blaming victims, fuck off. Just don’t comment, it’s that fucking easy.

Sure but what does your astrologer think?

My experience with chiropractic has been quite good actually. I was fairly crippled with neck problems that didn't allow me to use my arms very well. I had been dealing with it for years and it eventually got so bad it took me 5 minutes roll over... just roll over... to shut off my alarm in the mornings. I struggled to carry a coffee cup and dreaded things like switching laundry to the dryer. I had been to 2 chiropractors that helped some but put me on "the plan" thing like mentioned in this video. It eventually got so bad that I decided to try a 3rd chiropractor. He had me fixed in 2 visits. I haven't had a single problem since. That was 2 years ago now. I sent my mom to him and he did the same for her when she had a fall and leg problem that wouldn't go away. I think chiropractic, being loose with regulation, can brew situations where scams and ineffective treatments exist. But, how is that different from a mechanic that tells you about the expensive whatever that needs fixed when nothing is wrong with it?

My husband had horrible back pain problems and a huge swollen stomach. The military sent him to a chiropractor. He ended up in the emergency room still in pain where the nurses could feel the massive tumour on his back, you could see it clearly in the X-rays the chiropractor charged us for. A year later he was dead.

@@blakehorton654I’m a university student and for a class we had to research certain non scientific medicine, like chiropractic therapy, types of massage, and etc. I chose a massage but I also had to read about another things to choose which alternative medicine I wanted to do, and man. There’s not a lot of scientific evidence for a lot of alternative medicines. Like placebo is a real thing and it kinda works. But these things to manipulate your body by a masseur or a chiropractor don’t do much besides temporary relief. And I’m not completely disregarding these alternatives medicines, but in all honesty, most of these things are temporary and a core problem needs to be addressed before any long term change happens. If you have back problems you may have core issues like an actual core issue. My friend has been medically diagnosed that she had just weak core muscles and had problems carrying a backpack to university. So she probably needs to do core strengthening exercises, like the suitcase carry and then leg raises. She also goes to chiropractic therapy and she said it’s kinda helpful. But it literally is cracking your joints and not addressing the real issue that she has weak core strength so her upper body can’t handle holding up a backpack. The comment is anecdotal but there’s been research from actual scientists that you, yourself can go ahead and find and read that say that it may have temporary relief to individuals, but for long term results that make sure you no longer have problems, there’s be very little evidence as to whether it helps. And if you think about the mechanics of certain things like chiropractics then you realize it kinda makes sense that it wouldn’t work. -unlike a massage which could reduce inflammation, these people just press down on you and hyperextend your joints to pop the synovial fluid in your joints which creates that iconic popping sound in your knuckles or in the case of your spine a large amount of cracking is heard which if you think about, does nothing besides like when you crack your own back and it feels good for a little bit and then it wears off.

He made some adjustments and had me bend and recheck range of motion. I didn’t notice any difference and he didn’t like me telling him this. Eventually telling me “ trust me it’s better”. As an engineer this made zero sense to me. Anyway canceled all other appointments they made me sign up for and consider it a SCAM.

Yep, I messed up my neck pretty bad in Highschool wrestling. Went to the chiropractor because I had zero range of motion in my neck. I'm talking no ability to turn my head at all. He cracked my neck twice, realigned my spine and I haven't ever had to go back. Some chiropractors are quacks and others know how to help their clients.

​@G4M3R-4-LIFE I had lower back pain for 8 years following an assault, and my chiropractor was able to make it go away after two sessions. No other medical intervention had worked up until that point, so I'm truly grateful for his expertise. That said: It should be noted that in Ontario, Canada (at least) chiropractors are regulated to only treat musculoskeletal conditions, so you wouldn't be hearing any claims about chiropractors treating conditions like asthma, allergies, or IBS.

Orthopedic surgeons persuaded me into a hip surgery that just made everything worse. I discovered later the problem was my left sacral joint had fused. I had been to chiropractors. It didn't help long term, only short term with things I could later learn how to do myself at home. Most chiropractors suggested many add-on services, which didn't help or have any real research available. But, it was a chiropractor who finally got me walking regularly again. He got movement back in my left sacral joint, combined with massage therapy. Six different previous chiropractors and surgeons couldn't figure out where he succeeded. Also, I'm pretty sure the industry knows about chiropractors being ambulance chasers. Insurance limits the number of visits and the copays are higher than other doctors.

Not related to a topic. Can someone tell what a song is played starting from 12:50?

The chiropractors here if anyone ever asks that they are so straightforward and are just like "Yeah this is only for temporary relief of your back pain this isn't gonna treat your medical issues" they even have a giant disclaimer out front saying so, I would say some chiropractors are crazy some aren't

@@tiredcitizenz1925 tbh you don't gotta be that desperate for a half hour appointment to seem like a good idea if you leaves you pain free for a day or two... I've gone to a chiropractor once or twice when I had back soreness, and that particular one was fantastic and made some solid recommendations on lifestyle changes to prevent future back pain.

This is an absolute wake up call for me. I’ve been thinking about going to a chiropractor due to joint issues I’ve been having over the years to which have been getting a bit worse. Now been sagacious on the history of chiropractic lies, I’d rather go to a medical professional with info that’s backed by science. Going to a chiropractor could’ve made my scoliosis worse and I’m already thankful enough that my scoliosis didn’t progress any further. This video honestly probably saved my life

I had a situation where I had slept wrong and my neck hurt and I couldn't turn my head one direction. Of course, this had happened before and it usually went away after a day or so, but this persisted for over 2 weeks. Nothing worked (heating pad, stretching it, etc.) so I made an appointment with a chiropractor. I explained the situation to him, he pulled out some kind of handheld clicking "gun." He pulsated it around my shoulder and... INSTANTLY the pain was gone and I could turn my head again. I couldn't believe it. I suffered for 2 weeks and he fixed it in a matter of seconds! I don't know what the diagnosis was or how he knew that would fix it, but I was grateful.

That's called a "placebo".

I was a disbeliever. 2 blown discs and constant pain. And I did find relief. Never permanent, never complete, but I was not promised either. But enough to greatly reduce my intake of pain killers as well as greatly improve my mobility. I have had bad ones, and they are pretty easy to spot. Had 1 GREAT one. Along with reducing the back pain I live with, I would bring up random issues and amazingly he was able to help me resolve those. Stabbing pain near my ear, he resolved it and explained what caused it and how to prevent it. Severe ache in a knee, popped it back into proper alignment resolving the pain and showed me what to do to correct the problem as soon as I notice it. Aching burning feet. He discovered my arches were falling. Had me fitted for arch supports that same visit, and have had zero problems since. He was literally amazing. Unfortunately he has since retired and I have yet to find anyone near his abilities. I was a disbeliever, and agree that many are quacks and scammers, but not all, I assure you.

Then a young student from the sports university said he is also a chiropractor. He promised nothing but that i can move afterwards with less pain. The spine defekt will not vanishe. And i should loss wight and strengthen my muscles with reasonable sport. After 2 minutes of his treatment i danced home. My problems are not solved but i can now live with it.

The fundamental basis on which the "treatment" is supposed to "work" is a bunch of complete nonsense a guy in the 1800s literally dreamed up believing he'd been visited by space aliens. It's all quackery.

Been to chiro for a couple of months...nothing changed. They just kept telling me it takes time. Never left a session thinking "I feel so much better". When my prepaid block was over they had already lined up and scheduled in another block starting from scratch before discussing with me, expecting me to accept that 'my treatment is going to take longer than expected'. They also never answered questions directly. I asked them "What kind of excercises can I do to help improve things between my sessions?" Their only answer was always 'walking'. I asked them "how is the best way I should be sleeping". Her answer was "A healthy back should be able to sleep in any position without problem as long as your comfortable". Even I know thats not true. What they want is for your back NOT to improve so you keep coming back and popping your neck and do useless 'adjustments'. They also frquently dodged questions like "why is chiropracty not on the NHS?" I gave them the benefit of the doubt and got nothing back but more back pain. My sleeping has gotten even worse. Don't hire these people.

I love the sense of adventure and exploration in your docuseries, and admire that you take the extra steps to get interviews. This is my favorite type of KZread video. Love what you’re doing!

My only real complaint is that quite a few of the vids feel like they end pretty abruptly.

I don't know about all these quacks and cult beliefs, but the chiropractor I've been going to for over a decade can tell me where I'm hurting, and how I hurt it. Whether it was sitting in one position for too long or from a specific exercise. After I've been adjusted the problem goes away, I stand up straighter and feel more relaxed.

I was cured of a spinal condition that made me a near cripple. It was like being reborn. That there are incompetent practitioners is not a surprise.

I used to think that Chiropractors were just a specialty doctor for your back. So when I was having back problems, I went to a Chiropractor and the first appointment seemed fine. The adjustment thing made sense for my back because I do have low level scoliosis that makes my hips off balance very slightly, so maybe this would be all I needed to correct this slight problem I always had. They acted in a way that made it seem like they were real doctors. Then they said to bring someone important to me when I came to the second appointment so that they can understand what is going on with me. I thought that made sense, so I brought my boyfriend at the time. They wheeled in one of those old tube TVs on a cart that played one of the weirdest videos I have ever seen. It basically made it clear that they were not only NOT doctors, but they were trying to convince us that we shouldn't go to real doctors. It was essentially an anti-medicine propoganda video. After that they did start trying to do the thing where I pay upfront for several sessions in advance. Everything about that second appointment made it very clear that my understanding of what a chiropractor is was very, very wrong.

Same here except I can't find a doctor that believes my story. They all treat me like I'm lying or just trying to get pills. I never wanted to go to a chiropractor, my parents made me. I need help and have no idea what to do.

I've had three issues and I've had three dogs that absolutely benefited from Chiropractic after the first visit if you get a chiropractor who knows what they're doing and if the area needs adjustment you will walk out in immediate relief. And all of these things I was referring to were recommended for surgery and Chiropractic was tried first. For those sudden onset injuries that makes all the difference in the world

This is what should show up first when ppl start looking into the topics. I have spent so much time trying to find healing in some level of chiropractic adjustment. I'm not saying my journey was all bad. But there was a lot of mistruths, and harmful practices. We can do better now. And it starts with knowing all aspects of what's going on. Thank you for your work. I hope more people find you!

Went to chiropractors for years .. every time I had a back ache. I would get a couple of required repeat treatments and it would clear up in about a week. Finally I decided to wait. I had a back pain and left it alone maybe did some stretching and exercise.. it cleared up in about a week. So I broke the repetitive cycle for myself, took up yoga and other exercises and now I’m happy to say I’m a recovered chiroholic

I went to a chiropractor for about a year and half in 3 month increments about. I had terrible neck pain, and being a nurse, I feared pain killers and orthopedics surgeons more than chiropractors even though I knew chiropractors were scammy. The main doc told me he could fix my pain in three visits. He did. He then told me I should come in once a month for maintenance adjustments, which I would do for awhile but I felt good so I would stop. Eventually the pain would come back and they’d fix me back up and this repeated. One time I got fixed up real good and then I took a long vacation in my car and started toning down the intensity of my workout and I’ve never had to go back. During my time, they did do some of the fancy stuff to me periodically but I always hated it and never let them do it again. The neck sling yank thing, skin cracking. All of it hurts and none of it helped. One of the docs had a routine he did. The upward rotation neck crack, both sides, popping my back down the length of the spine, and then the spine twist pop. That’s it. Sometimes I felt like he wasn’t putting effort into his therapy but it always worked, never hurt, and kept me going. The other guy did way better but always tried something fancy. Chiropractors are not medical doctors. I’m not even sure they’re good physical therapists. They are slightly more advanced massage therapists who have a higher success rate running their own businesses. That’s all.
