I was wondering if you could do it all over again would you still go to chiropator school? Also in your opinion which chiropractor schools actually teach how to treat the root cause instead or just popping and cracking or is that something you have to learn on your own?

I cannot fathom how the US government still allows for this scam to run in 2024.

Great point. Some chiropractors are like this. They don’t truly care for the patient and just do it for the money. But some are extremely helpful and treat the patient with whatever will benefit them most. It’s also easier said than done to give patients different exercises and stretches to do, and them actually doing them.

right on !!!! totally agree. but all they think about is the next client. also agree with the exercise snd stretching. i’m guilty of not doing this, but you guys are correct.

As a practicing chiropractor, I agree about getting to the root cause. The root cause is not always poor biomechanics. Often the root cause of poor biomechanics is diminished sensory-motor function. There are other factors on top of that too.

As a chiro student. I wholeheartedly AGREE with this video. We are taught so many treatment modalities and our scope of practice is massive. Too many old school factory line chiros out there ruining it for us. Good video

I've had three L5/S1 subluxations (partial dislocation) over 61 years from over training. Immediately stopped when I felt the pain. Went straight to the chiropractor the next day and got realigned. No herniated discs ever and have the lumber spine of a five year old with X-ray proof. If you leave it or push through the pain, like Ronny Coleman, your next stabbing pain will be a disc herniation. I also had a stiff neck from not going to a chiropractor for multiple whiplashes and concussions from rugby, bicycle and motorcycle accidents and at 59 the chiropractor fixed it. If you have neck pain or a stiff neck after an accident and you think it's just a pulled muscle your body produces bone spurs to immobilise your spine to protect the spinal cord. If you have repeated whiplashes and concussions and do not get adjusted your cervical discs will progress from stage 1 arthritis (normal disc thickness but misaligned vertebrae) to stage 4 (total cervical disc fusion). It takes about 20 to 30 years.

Good video. The place I go to has chiropractors that do adjusting and then pt stuff in a room you go to afterwards

They’re not a bad chiropractor for doing their job, which is to adjust the spine. That’s what they’re trained to do. They’re not trained coaches and insurance doesn’t cover a lot of therapeutic exercise for chiros so they stay in their lane. I’ve done open room adjusting with 5 minutes per patient for a lot of years. Most chiro patients don’t want a lot of time, I don’t either. Adjust me and send me on my way. It’s a tool to help with training, period. Every patient needs to be training. Sure I believe in a magical office where I can spend an hour with each patient but most patients refuse to work on their biomechanics even when I explain to them the same issues over and over and over so guess what … they get popped and I say have a nice day. I pick my battles. But don’t judge us for doing what we’re trained to do.

Absolutel facts! Especially the biomechanics, my chiropractor is family and the rest of the family refuses to work on dieting, they just go back to gluttony and so do I cuz theres nothing healthy/appetizing thats healthy in their houses.

And to further explain …. Not everyone has the discipline or compliance for the exercise part so they still want to experience the passive component. Not all conditions require exercise to gain benefits, that’s fact. Adjustments are a form of spine mobilization which is good for the discs, the joints between bones, and it helps to destreza the nervous system out of sympathetic response, scientific fact.

The vast majority of chiropractors do give their patients proper “at home” protocols and lifestyle recommendations including corrective exercises, diet, sleep etc. However, patient compliance is sometimes a problem. Also chiropractic alignments do more than just relieve pain, but actually improve the entire health potential by relieving stress off of the muscles, joints, nerves, and organs connected to those nerves. Studies prove that regular visits to the chiropractor are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.

We enjoy powerlifting, but it can be hard on your body, even when you're trying to be as careful as possible. I think it's great to be in with a Chiropractor who can give us feedback about proper alignment& adjust any smaller issues, before they become worse& harder to manage. Patients always do best when they take personal responsibility& follow the Dr's instructions outside of the office. The Dr tries to screen out patients who just want "fast food" style care.

Question when you get an adjustment do th3 bones actually go back into place, some people say that if you don't go to the chiropractor your spine will get out of place

Many good points made from credible participants because they have been through the journey. their opinion and perspective matters. The protocol you’re trying to remember is called practice management how to build big and prosperous chiropractic businesses. The techniques scenario you described could be called the hole-in-one. those chiropractors only thrust once or twice on a patient usually the upper cervical. ran into your video by accident actually. Retired chiropractor, commenting here be blessed!😇

I am a chiropractor from India, well done you guyzzzz ❤❤❤

There are exceptions. I threw my back out pretty bad (its always a routine motion or easy lift that does it, I believe shoveling snow after long moving job in this case). Had to use my arms to push up out of a chair or go gown a set of stairs. I went to a friend of mine who had been a chiro for 30 years. But was my first time ever getting chiropractic. And i woulda been pissed if i didn’t get adjusted in that case. Just by watching me get out the chair, and get onto the table he knew. He identified where was out and spent 20 min adjusting, then gave me yogic stretches. I understand the sentiment of teaching corrective patterns and not necessarily adjusting on first session or 2, past intake/assessment, but again there are clear exceptions

I just recently went to a chiro for (what I found out later) was a torqued pelvis. I couldn't bend over, I know when and how I did it, there was an audible sound and pain. He took x-rays on the initial visit, found what it was, and adjusted me that morning along with my leg that was apparently short (go figure). I was a little sore into the next day, but my movement is infinitely better, I can stand for longer, I don't feel the need to lean like I did, even before the injury. I've gone back once since then, but even after the initial visit, he asked when I was next planning on going to the gym and it happened that that afternoon was a gym day and he specifically told me to not stop and to keep deadlifting. He gave me the "you may need to do lighter weight than usual for now" speech, but both visits he told me to not stop going and doing my usual training. Just the fact that he encouraged me to keep going signaled to me that he's confident in his work/diagnosis and knows what he's doing. I have to agree with you guys. Maybe not on the statement of "no adjustments on the first visit", but everything else is spot on!

Completely agree. On the other side of the equation are people unwilling to put in the work to maintain good biomechanics, adhere to corrective or rehab or strengthening exercises, stretching, diet, etc. it goes both ways. Also, multiple chiro visits isn't necessarily indicative of inefficacy. The same way one would have multiple visits to an OT, PT, or trainer, people need to understand that chiropractic visits aren't a one stop shop and fix all solution. It requires maintenance and adherence to lifestyle changes in addition to whatever adjustments, modalities, and soft tissue work a chiro can administer

I had mild pain in my rhomboid that grew when a chiropractor convinced me i needed to stop lifting weight and go to him to get my back cracked until it heals. This guy altered the trajectory of my life so much because he had no idea how to teach me how to strengthen and stabilize the weak areas that had pressed nerves and bulging discs. Please god if you are reading this.. advise against going to get cracked at a chiro. You need to MOVE and strengthen safely. They studied tribes who carry stuff on their heads their whole life, they have crooked spines but no PAIN because their core is STRONG, external rotators are STRONG, hips and glutes STRONG and FUNCTIONAL

I get yelled every time when I tell my chiro Ive been skimping on my exercises. Guess I have a good one. Lol

Hey guys, could you explain what an adjustment is?

Good to know. I'll stop going to my current one cause he isn't telling me about exercise and maintaining that adjustment.

I've neva been to a chiropractor 1 day I will go

No, they don't know what they're talking about because they don't even know the benefits of the adjustment. Adjustments brake up adhesions of aberrant joints, increase range of motion, relax spasms, stimulate the brain, increase circulation, decrease stress, enhance proprioception... it's not just "feel good" endorphin release. Therfore, it could be a stand alone treatment, depending on the case by case and what the goals of the patient is

Chiro one did visit years ago . 20 for x-ray they took pictures of standing next to a chart that shows but you're not standing straight then at the end of the day they showed me how crooked my back was then I noticed that their chart was crooked itself

The Spine Worx located in Lafayette Indiana. Starbucks/factory for adjustments exactly what this video talks about

I slipped my disk at work and I didn't know what to do. I was in agony and the next morning I couldn't get out of bed I was really concerned for the health of my back at only 29 years old. I saw a well know distinguished fellow ( a master) named Paul Bruno and American chiro in Perth Australia. 15 minutes with him and he fixed my skipped disk. They work he works and it's all legitimate work. 99% back to perfection in my spine now

What do you guys think about instrument assisted soft tissue therapy? I've never had any manipulations done by chiros, but I had a guy who did some tissue therapy, fascal release that really helped with muscle recovery. I also had some success with TENS machines and deep massages.

that guy that said he thinks the 'first 3-4 sessions should just be assessment' - WHAT! - I went to the first session and it was about 50 minutes of finding the issue - it was located - I didn't even know where it was until that assessment. You don't need 3-4 sessions of just assessment - you need a long first session which is mostly assessment.

I used to had the best chiropractor long time ago but he retired and since then became my nightmare until recently I found one decent and do most than anyone I had seen before but I am not sure if my age sometimes becomes a liability, I don’t osteoporosis, artritis my bones are strong but I suffer from things that I think are important a little dehydration a lot stress and because my nasal congestion I can’t breathe well from the nose, so I don’t know if this should be a problem or not. The thing my adjustment doesn’t last long enough

Much possible as my own injuries got chronic for disliking chiros initially and worsen due to addl injury. Very possible, they are not god to reset a factory reset on you but immensely help.

Should a person go see a doctor (Ortho, internist, etc) first and then see a chiropractor upon referral? Personally, it feels like my lower back is filled with wet sand/cement. If im in a supine or seated position I don't feel any pain. The pain occurs when I transition from seated to standing, standing to seated, seated to supine. It takes a little while for me to switch positions. I do tend to feel the pain when standing for long periods of time or walking, but that pain is a little higher in the mid back. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. (I know yt comments isn't the best place to go for advice sometimes, I'm really just wondering if I should see a doctor first; I'd rather not waste my time/money going to a chiropractor if they can't do anything for me, ya know?)

And felt everything was going great until I told them on my last visit day I'm not coming back. I got adjusted that day and he adjusted me differently than what he used to. Until I got home I noticed that he purposely misaligned me from how I started 3months ago. (I was able to flex my back left should abd back) They stay trying to put me on a new plan. Smh. Hopefully I can find a great chiro.

I went to a chiropractor once. All he did was crack my neck, back, use a massage gun and a drop table. After 5 sessions, I stopped going. Each session became shorter but cost the same as the first visit which was longer. About 30 minutes. Every other session was about 15 minutes each time. I didn't feel any different from the first visit. I haven't been to one since.

This is a good perspective. As a practicing chiropractor myself, sometimes patients come in expecting me to “crack” them. I always explain that we will get to doing adjustments but I need to evaluate them thoroughly first and use education and other methods to truly correct the problem.

I filmed a documentary about a chiropractor that offers more than just the adjustment. 👍

I thought I had a good Chiropractor until I watch this video. Every appointment the longest was about 5 minutes no advice what so ever. I paid over 4K for the treatment, It kind of help but now my back pain is coming back again. How to find a good Chiropractor?

You can obtain the same results from a physical therapist, minus the cracking & “adjusting” of a chiropractor…most likely for less money.

I go to a chiropractor factory. Lay down next to a bunch of other people and get cracked. It does feel great, but I also don’t have so many headaches and back pain:)

My chiropractor never gave me any exercises, said I need an x ray. And sold me a plan and said to come in every 2 weeks, when did you see that you need that?

Yup!

A chiropractor should always take x rays first from there you need to tell them what you feel where it is how you might’ve got to that point. He will always focus on the back neck but little by little go to your main problem. Remember if it’s a back problem and your in 30-60 if it took years to fuck up your back don’t expect to be good after 3 sessions. There’s things that chiropractors can’t fix because you might need surgery.

It’s all normal docs do too ebut seems there is less speculation on them

My old chiro from 15 years ago was legit and used to actually work on me including pregame with someone doing a massage. I would be in there for a while and the cracking was literally a small part of it at the very end. Now for the past 8 years I been trying chiros and all they want to do is crack everything and send me out in under 3 minutes. I thought I was going crazy thinking this isn’t what a real “chiropractor” does.

I had one of those 3 minute guys. Had to quit. Made worse. And I started praying that would be able to walk back to car.

Ppl just bash things for content and just forget that most ppl don’t have disposable income to go to a PT and then a Chiro then tell them they just don’t want to work for it, when they’re literally trying to get out of pain to go to work. Since that’s all life has ever been for the majority.

Guys I just started seeing an upper cervical chiropractor for cervical instability. I am paying $3000 for this. Am I being scammed? I heard the upper cervical chiropractors are way better than average chiropractors. My current upper cervical chiropractor has recommended 1 exercise but only after I asked him if there were any exercises that could help.

Damn just realized my chiro is a good one. he is adjusting me but also have given me all sorts of exercises and stretches and workouts to do. I am not doing them and he is visibly bothered by this. This changes tomorrow! Sorry doc!!

This is such a progressive video. Y’all are way passed the bs on how chiros aren’t effective or not Doctors. Y’all go straight to the programming of how it works. Great video and 100% agree, I am a chiro-student and this is the way we’re being taught to be Doctors. Thanks for explaining it to people!

You’re not a doctor

I disagree with the one thing he said. Clients do not know what to expect. So it's not like they know what a rack em crack em is or whatever you said. Seriously it's on the Chiro to do the actual treatment not just the adjustment.

Dude I get your point, but I'm pretty sure that chiros use their method because they would go bankrupt otherwise. 9/10 people want an instant treatment and don't want to work for themselves truly, and it's just not enough to work with just 1/10 of the people by the time the 9/10 say you're bad cuz you did "nothing" for the first "x" sessions. Part of those 9/10 are lazy, part ultra busy and just need a quick relief, part ignorant and part stupid and can't get your point about a "good" chiro treatment

Why in the hell would I go to a chiropractor who is going to wait three or four sessions before they treat me and I’m in severe pain?! How about they treat me, get rid of the pain, and then figure out how to prevent it from coming back.

The future of the healing arts, especially chiropractic, is movement focused therapy. However there are undeniable neurophysiologic effects that happen after adjustment for the relief of chronic pain and improvement of proprioceptive function. These neurophysiologic effects are what the kind of chiropractors, who "wack em n crack em," are selling

My insurance covers my adjustments 100%. 🤙🏼

The fkd up part is that there's no financial incentive for them to actually fix you.

Why? You don't need these 3 clowns to give you praise to validate what you do. As a LMT, you are a manual medicine provider. Your clients love you and that's is all that matters.

Totally disagree about the adjust only. The ONLY one I went to in GA who was no-frills adjust. I felt great and did not have to keep seeing him every week. Guys he relieved the pressure and I was relieved. EXERCISE with stretching can get your body better balanced

Chiropractic neck adjustments are DANGEROUS. Each adjustment potentially stretches the ligaments more each time. The insidious part is it’s not always a torn vertebral artery resulting in stroke after one time. It could once, OR could be be 5-10 adjustments before you realize that burning nerve pain in your SKULL is the result of trashed upper neck ligaments (I.e. chiropractor induced Cranio-Cervical Instability, in my case)

I was severely abused by chiros. I have major muscle damage I’ve only saw a couple doctors but they e denied my severe pain. Can anyone get back to me if they’ve been also severely abused and injured, the muscle damage was gruesome I felt nerve pain before it. My entire body sunk into itself.

I went into a Chiro on Saturday with minor sciatica. He did a full treatment and I collapsed immediately and had to go to the ER. I'm now facing fusion surgery and it's Thursday. For context, I'm a 41 year old in perfect shape. I'm strong in the gym, flexible, and I'm 10 percent body fat. I can't even walk right now. He injured me.

@vzeller Yeah l know what you are saying. An osteopath l had treated me for costocondritis aggravated some old scar tissue in my mid back. Now pulling other muscle structures. He did free some of it up afterwards but still a problem. I think sports therapists are a safer bet. Many train to degree level but with more controlled and gentler practices. I am starting to think chiropractioners belong in the dinosaur age.

The first 3 - 4 days of seeing a chiropractor you want them to focus on exercise and diet before doing adjustments? That's ridiculous, you might as well go see a psyhical therapist. I had a chiropractor and the first appointment we did x-rays, they looked at my posture and had me to do certain movements. That's enough. The second appointment is when we started doing the adjustments and they'd give me homework with a bunch of exercises to do and even showing me the best way to sleep and the best way to climb out of bed.

X-rays are completely unnecessary for treatment outside of red flag situations, posture has no correlation with pain/dysfunction. Sorry to say it but by the sounds of it your Chiro is a quack. “Right way to get out of bed”? Cmon that’s just utter nocebo BS.

I agree that adjustments aren't the be all end all solution for everyone with back pain and some doctors go overboard. Still, 3-4 visits before treating, regardless of what the treatment is, is nonsense in my opinion. People who go to a chiropractor are often in a lot of pain and many have already seen or are currently seeing a physiotherapist and an MD for their symptoms. It makes sense that no doctor should treat without a thorough history and exam, but beyond that point they should have a good idea as to what the issue is. That's literally what they're trained to do. Also, if a chiropractor is spending an hour or more with every patient they see they will likely go bankrupt unless they have some specialized care that a large enough patient demographic is willing to pay a premium for. People seem to forget that chiro's are small business owners at the end of the day, and no matter how progressive or evidence-based they are, they still need to keep the lights on.

A deep tissue massage and relieving stress would probably help more

They don't actually relieve pain. Chiropractic "medicine" is a pseudoscience with no evidence that it works to prevent or treat illness. If you want real pain relief then get a hold of a physical therapist.

Hundred percent

The root cause - the most confusing thing ever..... If you sit behind a desk working the whole day - that physical and emotional stress is the cause - how do we get rid of it? Retire - root cause gone🙂 Often all we do is manage stresses and causes when you cannot get away from the root cause. As for exercises - yes you need them. Yes they are beneficial and I prescribe specific stretches and exercises for patients. However you need to consider - if you have a structural issue and doing exercises on top of that, are you helping it or setting them up future compensation patterns?

Chiropractors or Doctors in general, or even a trainer for that matter, cannot control what a patient does when they leave the office. My chiropractor does coach and teach people about healthy living but I guarantee that a large percentage of people just go on living their unhealthy lifestyle and just come back when they're hurting again. I've been guilty of that so I'm speaking from experience.

That's called physiotherapy/physical therapy
