What Does a Chiropractor ACTUALLY Do?

[@h.b.m.5143]

This is a great video, thanks!

[@Synergyoviedo]

Thank you! We appreciate that.

[@part1801]

I appreciate the straightforwardness of the video. They're not saying that they are curing anything, but are inline with preventative maintenance for your body. It helps my back and knees.

[@ktreznin5538]

When I was 8 years old, my chiropractor pretended that he knew what was wrong with my body. He put a hand on my knee, closed his eyes, and said "yes. your problem is in your back. Your spine is S-curved." I had a broken pinkie toe.

[@lars1296]

Sounds about right

[@Michael-cm6pg]

Sure he did...

[@brianmcdonnell6476]

You know that never happened. Paid bashers. I read an article about these people. They get a dime for every post. See thousands of these people of the WallStreet sites. I know a guy the hires them.

Excellent explanation. Thanks for that👍🏻

"Subluxation", the theoretical basis for all of this. This, by definition, means a joint that is visibly displaced. If you have a subluxation, you are not moving your spine or joint, you are likely in extreme pain, and at risk for nerve damage up to permanent paralysis if you move wrong or someone does something to you wrong. *Chiropractors do not work on subluxation*, it requires physical therapy or surgery. Chiropractic has commandeered the term, using it incorrectly. Chiropractors work on joints that are not visibly displaced, but may not be in an ideal position, condition, or are receiving too much strain. This is not subluxation. Facet joint syndrome, tendonitis, and arthritis are a few examples of conditions a chiropractor will treat. What they do in person cannot significantly change the function of something, but may feel better temporarily. This part gets close to massage therapy. A good chiropractor will immediately work on diagnosing the cause of the problem and leave you with recommendations and/or tools to change your behavior and heal your joints and tissues. If the problem persists and your chiropractor does not recommend or require you to see a physical therapist, get a new chiropractor.

[@me-hk4rl]

the term subluxation has a medical definition and a chiropractic one. the latter refers to a fixated minor vertebral misalignment impinging nerve tissue interfering with nerve conduction. chiropractors, real ones, correct subluxation as just defined. diagnosis and treatment are medical practices. it is not the purpose of chiropractic to, "heal your joints", or anything else. chiropractic is not complementary or alternative medicine or medicine in any sense and neither wants or has anything to do with it. it is the diametric opposite of medicine in it's purpose and approach.

[@themissile3120]

@@me-hk4rl Right, I meant diagnosis in the general definition, not true medical diagnosis. I'm having trouble interpreting "a fixated minor vertebral misalignment impinging nerve tissue interfering with nerve conduction" - there's no physical correction that can be made, only instruction to improve posture, limit harmful behaviors, and physical pressure that allows blood and/or nerves to function better but only while the pressure is applied. I haven't found any actual evidence of musculoskeletal geometry being shifted, set, or 'corrected' in any way other than through the patient's posture and behaviors. If you can share a good link to thoroughly describe these actions with evidence I'd love to see it but I've never been able to find any.

you have no idea what you are talking about whatsoever. try selling used cars. with that deluge of b.s., you'd be good at it.

I bet most of the hate comments are from people in the medical field in the medical field or related to the medical field or pharmaceutical industry lol The fact is it doesn't cost a $100000 paying bills to fix everything

[@BenWinder108]

I'm thinking to go down the route of chiropractic for my back pain I'm 35 and am in agony. I can't work with the pain medications so I need an alternative. Right now I just suffer. Do you recommend chiropractic then? I also think all the hate chiropractors get could possibly be because chiropractors actually fix the problems.

How would I know if chiropractors I'm looking into are holistic or not?

[@joshanderson7211]

History of chiropractors is pretty wild, I live in the town of one of the founders, "Daniel palmer". He had one of his first clinics in port perry, and he fixed someone being deaf fixing his spine. So ya, totally legit for sure. Facts just side with chiropractors, they do be legit

[@npn9409]

Did Palmer cure deafness by adjusting the neck

[@alisonthorn2573]

Great video, very informative

[@asmaqureshi144]

sir is this permanent treatment In a sense, how much difference does the setting make?

[@Lopez913]

If i feel pain, aren't those nerves working optimally?

[@OJesusX3]

That's usually a good indicator that they are. 😊🌎💖

[@Mellow_Flow]

...what about the veins?

[@zibtihaj3213]

does this alignment really work ? prevention etc

[@davidbaez3756]

No it’s all pseudoscience

[@OJesusX3]

Even as someone who has done a lot of research about the human body, recovery, and nutrition (I'm a diabetic survivor), I still learned a great deal from this video of things I've always suspected, but had never heard so clearly put into words before. Thank you for making this video for our community. 😊🌎💖

[@binubabu4460]

I had excellent experience with Chiropractors. I would go to a chiropractor before I go to a spine surgeon 😢

A Chiropractor is someone who converts convincing uneducated words and popping gas from joints into money ... over and over again for the same patient.

He didn't say anything ... what does a chiropractor do? Tells you where the pain is? Then what?

[@OJesusX3]

A chiropractor helps to open up the spaces between the joints and allow our spinal fluid to flow properly. So long as enough rest (and/or gentle/gradual decompression) is given afterwards, the joints are able to spring back to their usual shape and recover. 😊🌎💖

[@jessmcafee2557]

There's no science backing it. Most chiropractors involve elements of physical therapy, massage and movements. I'm sure when you combine these, it will help a stiff back.

[@themissile3120]

fundamentally yes, but it's combined with enough real physical therapy to help temporarily, or give constructive advice on long term solutions.

[@brianm6872]

Ya but it still helps you anyway

[@tonyskillz]

Did I just hear that chiropractors work on the spin to treat everything but fix nothing?

[@lizzi7128]

Lol Omg I need answers now too

[@OJesusX3]

It's about decompression and allowing/creating a space between our joints (literally) and by allowing time to rest, our cartilage can now recover and continue to support us. It doesn't have to be by a chiropractor or a medical professional. Gradual pressure/tension/stretching exercises can also be used, such as from using an inversion table (or yoga) and it is preferred because the results are longer lasting. As long as we go slowy, listen to our bodies, and *rest* when we need to, there a lot that we can do ourselves when it comes to resetting our bodies and healing from pain caused from compressed joints and pinched nerves. It does help to have someone or a knowledgeable friend you can trust whom can more clearly/easily feel the alignment of our bones and apply pressure in the direction that it is needed for decompression and recovery. 😊🌎💖

I’ve seen so many people who are not chiropractors, able to do exactly what a chiropractor does. Clock some joints… Why all the studying for something that anyone can do?

[@uk7769]

because enough people think it works, and you can make a lot of money pretending to be a medical doctor.

[@me-hk4rl]

no you haven't. like most people you think spinal manipulation is what chiropractic is about. it isn't.

[@dmitrykim3096]

Only gymnadtics and strong muscles that shoport your bones can cure it forever, chiropractors can make a pain go away temporarily, but it will be back so you vould spend some more money on chiropractors. If you chieopractor doesnt suggest you to have a proper gymnartics and muscles trainingz run away
