Chiropractic is 98% BS- A Response to Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan recently came out with a viral video where he claimed 98% of chiropractic is BS.
In his conversation, he made quite a few great points. But, other parts of his opinion might be a little closer to fiction instead of fact.

[@GodOfMySalvationIsYeshua]

engelsseele2 I’m sorry for your story. If you were treated for 3 months and your back pain never went away, the problem was with the practitioner, not the profession. If you’re not seeing improvement within one month, the doctor of Chiropractic needs to do further investigation like diagnostic imaging, labs, nerve conduction studies, etc. However, a herniated disc will go in and out, an adjustment is not likely to push it out but lifestyle is. Studies show that disc herniation happens because the nutrition to the disc is diminished. How? The endplate cartilages, which allow for passage of nutrients from the bone to the disc are degenerated by inflammatory cytokines from your fat and knee cartilage. An inflammatory lifestyle will degenerate the endplates and disc nutrition will be poor. Inflammation causes pain, so the person is less likely to want to move, which leads to ligament restriction. The brain controls postural muscles, but inflammation causes the brain to disconnect from the deep postural muscles allowing for the protection on the disc from being squeezed by body weight to dysfunction. The the disc environment becomes acidic, dehydrates, weakens and under normal pressure it ruptures. When the nucleus gets out, there’s a 40% chance of infection from the bacteria that is in your skin, (which gets into your blood eg., when you brush your teeth) This can cause excruciating pain, sciatica, the irritated inflamed nerve can weaken, lose circulation from bulging pressure, etc. Blaming the chiropractor who’s been adjusting the spine is like blaming the dentist for making one’s gums bleed in a deep cleaning when one has periodontitis. Unless the clinician treats the underlying inflammatory problem and rehabilitate the disc, the surrounding tissues, the health of the brain, core and posture, the patient does not get permanently better. Spinal rehabilitation and conditioning requires that the person becomes healthy overall.

TRUE STORY: I went to a chiropractor for about a month, once a week. The fourth visit, his receptionist was out, and - not knowing if he was with a client or not - I headed back to the treatment room, which had the door cracked open. Through the crack, I could see a woman sitting on the treatment table, and I could see the chiropractor pointing to something on the wall, out of my view. I heard the chiropractor say to the woman "see, this is the x-ray of your neck and spine, and you can see these spots ... here and here ... where the spine is out of whack .... " I listened for a few seconds and then turned to go back to the waiting room. Before I could reach the waiting room, I heard the door to the treatment room open and so turned back around to see the woman exiting the room, with the chiropractor right behind her, so I started back toward the treatment room. The chiropractor saw me and said, "Ahh, just the man I was expecting, come on in." I followed him into the room. He did the adjustment, and then said he had something he wanted to show me. He pointed to the same wall, where I could now clearly see an X-ray of someone's neck and spine. He then said "see, this is an X-ray of your neck and spine, and you can see these spots ... here and here ... where your spine is very badly out of whack ..." I thought he was joking at first. Then I realized that to him, the chiropractor, it had appeared as though I had just arrived at his office, when he and the other patient exited the treatment room. He had no idea that I had stood just outside the door for thirty seconds of this same "schpeal" he had given the previous client. There was only one door into the treatment room. There was no one else in the office, as his receptionist was gone, and - even if there had been an entire team there working with him - no one entered or exited that room except the chiropractor and the patient. I even asked him if he was sure that was my X-ray, and he uttered a very unconvincing "uh ... yes" - like I kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. I never went back, and - if I'm being honest - that was the day I came to believe that 95% of chiropractic medicine is bs. Maybe I wrong, but one thing is clear to me, to this day. That chiropractor had done that scam a million times. He said almost exactly the same thing to me that he had said to the woman, with the same timing and meter .... like one says the pledge of allegiance.

The reason why chiropractors are recommended in US - because it's a HUGE business. Go outside US - and see what the primary option is - it's not chiropractors - it's usually physical therapy. Cracking bones doesn't do jack shit longterm - the most beneficial thing chiropractors can do is massage, and discuss exercises to strengthen muscles and correct bad habits and posture - but the adjustments, cracking is total bullshit when it comes to longterm results or cures for chronic issues that require major physical therapy and surgery - you are just wasting time. I mean people go to see chiro for minor stuff that will get better on it's own given time.

When a patient is becoming skeptical they will actually use real concepts in physiology and real spine surgery and the patient will become confused to what extent this chiropractor “knows” his stuff. The problem is the core concept of chiropractors. Look up online where the term “chiropractic” come from and why it is not based on any science.

It is a shame that the public gives their money to 'doctors' who tell people they can cure their asthma and diabetes by re-aligning the spine to supply proper nerve innervation to the organ with the problem. That is what they teach at Palmer, the school that the doctor in this video went to. It's a pretty deep rooted issue that can't easily be solved. Patients need to do their research when selecting a chiropractor and if they at any time say the word "subluxation" that should immediately raise a red flag.

After not having seen a chiropractor for approximately 20 years, it was a chiropractor that put these issues to bed in short order, in the space of 3 weeks, and years after I had lost hope about both medical complaints. I had not even gone to see the chiropractor about those specific issues. Watch the video and, while you do it, try to push the prejudice out of your mind: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYqremmbmp1rfbc

Summarising evrything i gathered from top MDs and chiropractors :- - You mostly dont require a chiropractor at all times. - Chiropracty is not at all evidence based, and mostly aim to make small adjustments to remove the pain and not the cause of the pain. - with time some of the issues/pain come back which makes people go to the chiropractors/qualified doctors again. Chiropracty does not treat the cause, its like a painkiller numbing the pain for a certain time. - in most cases, chiropractors make adjustment to make you feel better for a short time and then tell you to do physiotherapy or physical ecercise which actually helps you in the long run. Any doctor would have recommended the same hence the only benefit chiropractor is bringing is making an adjustment to possibly reduce the pain for a short time. This can however not work at times. - if physical exercises and conditioning helps you in the long run then you really dont need a chriopractor, rather a physio would be best.

"I work with Johns Hopkins neurosurgeons", in reality :"emailed neurosurgeon one time"

What a crook! Joe is 100% correct.

This chiropractor reminds me of Jen Pisaki.

People just Ride joes nuts so bad,I am a huge Joe Rogan fan. I’ve listened to everyone of his podcast for the last three years because I listen to them while I work but I just left the chiropractor 30 minutes ago and it was single-handedly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and I feel better than I have felt in the last 10 years I have been dealing with this pain. Moral of the story you can’t take everybody’s advice wholeheartedly. Sometimes you have to see for yourself.

Spinal hygiene? You wash your spine? Terrible choice of words.
