@TheFriendlyEngineer You can't compare chiropractors to the rest of conventional medicine. They cover illnesses that chiropractic can do little for, such as everything organ, blood, infection or tumor related. All the things that go wrong in areas outside chiropractic care shouldn't be in your figures
Good GOD people, non of you are fucking doctors are you? So why are commenting like you know what the hell you are talking about?!?!? If you do have degrees as a doctor, then I have one question, why the fuck are you spending your time of youtube? stfu
Dr. Ben seems like he can sell a burning crucifix to a nun..."You should be good in 8-10 visits.....Did I mention each visit is $350 plus a copay of $50?".....Fuck off buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You better be careful with putting too much pressure on her anterior, or you might cause a rise in interarterial pressure that may result in an episode of epistaxis from her rostral olfactory receptor, possibly causing unmanageable emotional excesses for both parties.

Lol you know, if herniated discs are commonly diagnosed with MRIs, and apparently that procedure matches up with MRI's 98% of the time I feel like either start doing that procedure, or you are full of shit. I think the latter is most likely. My main point is that the patient most likely went to a doctor and found out she HAD a herniated disk and then you tell her that the procedure confirms it durrrr..
I wonder if he's applying the same amount of pressure every time when he tries to move her foot/leg or if he's purposely using more effort sometimes to claim there's a problem and that she is weak
@omfgSHORYUKEN How likely do you think it is that he's purposely doing this? As an act of purposeful deception? That he's actively engaged in deceiving his client and the viewers of the video? He might, of course, be - in some sense - engaging in these things unconsciously. But I doubt that he is a fraud. He seems genuine.

@lifeson46 I can say with all honesty that I would rather be treated by my dog's veterinarian instead of a chiropractor at the scene of an accident. I'm not joking.
I really like the responses from Lifeson46. He is obviously a well educated professional with a strong command of the English language. Keep up the good work, the world needs more slander and vulgarity.
@besthealthdc yeah and the public needs to be more aware of how chiropractic treatments are a scam. How they spend thousands of dollars at practice building seminars and how crap they are at actually treating anything. £ months of chiropractic treatment for severe low back strain at 70 bucks a pop = zero. One session with a D.O who specialized in OMT and I was back to work the next day.
Osteopath? OK in their defense they are very well trained. They go to med school for 4 years and then do 3 years of hospital rotations. They use manipulation to treat biomechnical issues in the spine and other joints of the body. BUT THEY PRESCRIBE MEDICATIONS. Odd since chiropractors refuse to allow prescribing drugs or performing surgery to a part of their profession. Recently New Mexico was pushing a bill to allow chiropractors prescription rights and the profession rallied to oppose.
@besthealthdc Osteopathy has become a well respected medical profession. It basically took all of the good parts of chiropractic, dropped the mysticism and voodoo parts, and combined it with science based medicine. In the United Stated Osteopaths perform pretty much the same functions as Medical Doctors. Chiropractic, in my opinion, is stuck in the past bleeding people and balancing the humors by comparison. Osteopathy is what chiropractic should have evolved into and it's a shame it didn't.
@workingstiff76 Up till about 1972 osteopath's and chiropractors were the same with only a difference in philosophy. Chiropractic is based in the theory that misaligned spinal joints can cause interference in the function of spinal nerves. Osteopaths believed misalignments in any joints of the body cause a circulatory problem and thus disease. In 1972 the course load of an MD, an osteopath, and a chiropractor were near identical. Osteopaths petitioned for MD status.
@besthealthdc Upon completion of a pharmacology course they were granted MD degrees. Chiropractors do not want to prescrib drugs or perform surgery, that is the scope of the MD's and it has its place. Drugs have side effects that can be horrible and often deadly. Surgery, even in its best outcome is a terrible trauma to the body. If it can be avoided it should be. PT's do Mobilizations, they are similar to adjustment done by chiropractors but they are long lever, not as specific.
@workingstiff76 Osteopaths do manipulation as well but are more respected by some because they have been absorbed by the medical profession. My point was that they used to be an alternative to drugs and surgery but now utilize drugs in the treatment. Chiropractors (in general) know there is a place for prescription medication, and very obviously there are times for surgery and emergency interventions. We fill a niche in helping people avoid drugs and surgery.
@workingstiff76 In terms of biomechnics chiropractors, PT's and osteopaths do very similar things. The modalities used (if modalities are used) are all the same. Chiropractors are more specific with the spinal adjusting because that is their primary focus. They know how to put motion into a fixated motion segment and get that segment to move correctly. There are however, many philosophies and approaches in the chiropractic profession and many non-chiropractic therapies being utilized.
@workingstiff76 Chiropractic is controversial because it is misunderstood, as these posts clearly show. Chiropractors are trained as first responders so they are able and in fact required to perform first aid at the site of an accident but they aren't trauma doctors and do not claim to be. The role of misalignment (Subluxations) and their effects on the nervous system is constantly being researched but we do not recieve research funding from the drug companies so its at a snails pace.
@workingstiff76 Chiropractic is coming of age as we, as a society, begin to appreciate the importance of preventative health care. I have seen many MD's care for in the practice I worked in and they understand and value the benefits of the chiropractic care they recieved just as we value and appeciate them for theemergency care they provide. We all have a functional niche and work within those niches. Keep and open mind and educate yourselves then do what you feel is best for you.
@besthealthdc I found your posts to be informative and interesting, and I thank you for making them. You seem like you are one of the more informed and progressive chiropractors. I do believe chiropractic could be more accepted and have a larger role in medicine if it could acknowledge that some of it's beliefs are outdated and hold certain elements of its' practitioners to a higher standard.
If you are unfamiliar with the terminology I suggest you look up definitions before making insulting comments on things you don't understand. As for the rotation issue, the Doctor has the patient turned but there is very little rotation involved in the actual adjustment. The posture is simply to open the joint space to accomodate freedom of motion in the joint, a prone position would block or add resistance to the adjustment.
OK, This "guy", as you so respectfully refer to him, is a Doctor of Chiropractic demonstrating Applied Kinesiology (a nerological evaluation outside of Chiropractic whicj utilizes muscle tests and challenges) That means he has an undergraduate degree, a 4 year post graduate degree in CHiropractic, and an advanced degree in Applied Kinesiology. I believe he is presenting this demonstration to peers and no the general public. If this was a self promotion video he would speak more plainly.
What a charlatan. His voodoo matches up with an MRI over 98% of the time? Really? Hey, why not do an MRI on her on his dime, and let's see if that MRI matches up with what he's saying about her purported herniation. Betcha it wouldn't, not a snowball's chance in hell.
The Doctor is talking about traversing nerve root (not the exiting nerve root). He is explaining what he is doing quite well actually.
"A lot of confusion occurs because when a nerve root is compressed by disc herniation or other cause, it is common to refer both to the intervertebral level (where the disc is) and to the nerve root that is affected. Depending on where the disc herniation or protrusion occurs, it may impinge upon either the exiting nerve root or the traversing nerve root."
He is not "explaining what he is doing quite well" at all. People like this guy make a living out of throwing around big words in appropriate contexts so it sounds like he is completely in the know. To someone half paying attention, words like "dermatome", "nerve root", "L5, S1", and names of muscles innervated by the lumbosacral plexus all sound well-placed and legit. But if you listen carefully he's just babbling.
Probably a semi-intelligent med school dropout who can think fast enough on his feet, but at the end of the day is just waffling. The whole point of a being a professional is to be able to explain what you are doing to anyone in a way they'll understand. It isn't about being an arbitrary figure of authority whose word we just "accept" is too hard for us to comprehend, which is what quacks try to do.
People have said some harsh words about this guy n alright he may be fake or whatever but unless u are either a chiropractor urself or have a high qualification in this sorta thing then you shouldn't call him offensive shit...
I see there are a lot of "cientific people" writing here with "personal experience" and a deep understanding of Applied Kinesiology, so i will be short. I dont understand shit about what he just said, but being myself a quiropractic patient, and many of my friends and family members too and seeing the actual benefits, i really have to say i love these guy's hocus pocus. If it were not for a chiropractor i would not be walking normally as i am today and without any operation.
You guys have obviously not studied the science behind all this stuff! Or had an adjustment done before! Chiropractors have a higher help rate than medical Dr.s do! For ie. drugs do not cure a head ache! only mask the problem! and once you have your neck adjusted, that head ache is gone!
@Naturally00Me Chiropractors have a higher "help rate" than medical doctors because the results - while not long term - are seemingly immediate. Drugs definitely cure headaches. In fact, an average headache is caused by constricted blood vessels in the skin in and around the forehead, and taking an aspirin "cures" your headache by thinning the blood. It doesn't mask the problem, it responds properly. Having a neck adjustment does not "cure" anything. This isn't science. It's ludicrous.
@mrsteve0412 You're awesome! You know how many friends and family of mine that think this bullshit actually works? It kills me. Down with pseudo-science.
Really? Drugs cure headaches? Did you ever think that maybe constricted blood vessels may be a result of the structural integrity of the cervical spine?
@mrsteve0412 Actually, Adjusting the cervical vertebra that is fixated and causing local muscular tension is correcting the problem. Taking a blood thinner is alleviating the symptoms while making you anemic. Drugs always have negative side effects because they alter the bodies homeostatic set points. The body is constantly measuring the state of every system and makes appropriate reactions to changes. When a drug makes a change in the body the body takes actions to counter that change.
I hope the general public will make the difference between physiotherapy and this shit. This is such a joke that it could actually make any other health profession look like a scam.
The L5 nerve root does exit at the L5-S1 spinal level.. BUT is VERY COMMONLY affected by an L4-5 disc lesion. At that level, it is the lateral-most nerve traversing behind that disc after L4 has exited.
Do you always send un-informed commentary into cyberspace like this? You'd do well to stick with topics you know something about... bagging groceries or whatever that might be.
Dr.Anderson: That is correct for the dermatome which is the nervous innervation meaning the sensory feedback that she is describing...uh..is the same as the..uh...motor test that she is not passing.....
Dont care what u non-believers say.. Chiropractors help. Saved me from back pain, limping muscle imbalance. Oh, and he took x-rays to prove everything he said. My guy diagnosed me similar to this video, then showed me x-rays. And I am in the medical field, so he really couldnt BS me. And MY PAIN IS GONE.
200,000 deaths related to medical mistakes every year, and how many for chiropractic? What one is the scam....take a presciption that causes symptoms, take another medication to help with the first symptoms but develop other symptoms, get a third prescription for the second set of symptoms that have absolutely nothing to do with the reason you came in in the first place! tell me what one is a fraud, big pharma is out of control
snake oil my friends.....got a back problem seek out a well trained osteopath or a good massage therapist . They are a lot cheaper and provide instant relief and wont have you come back 3 times a week for the rest of your life....but each to his or her own.
@lifeson46 lol, an osteopath is doing the same thing as a chiropractor but not as well and prescribes meds. What a joke. Utilizing the same yet not as specific manipulation approach and then prescribing drugs on top, the thing Chiropractors are trying to save ppl from. lol.
Even if it's purely the placebo effect, if a person feels better afterward then it works! Even if they see a psychic and feel better, then it works! Self reporting is the only gauge of pain. I don't know that this guy is doing much of anything to his patients, but you can't argue there's nothing to it if people report that they feel better.
Please do not believe any of this crap. It is ridiculous. None of this is based on scientific research. It is one of the biggest scams in the Western world. True doctors get physically sick at some of the stuff that these guys are practicing. If you are seeing a chiropractor now and you feel your symptoms improving, do not get seduced. You are under the spell of the placebo effect. Go to a sports physiostherapist to truly fix, cure and manage your problems.
Word of mouth is the best advertisement and that is why the chiropractic profession is growing at such a rapid pace. People are feeling better, in contrast to the highly medicated, side effect affected society medicine is pushing. If I was a physio I too would be concerned for my job, sticking a TENS or EMS unit and charging them is a croc, go and buy one, do it yourself.
This guy is hilarious. I stopped watching when he was talking about a herniated disc when she's not having dermatomic pain or a positive SLR. Saved her $1500, LOL. Plus hes having half the innervations wrong.
I don't know...he asked if it was "uncomfortable" as he "released" the psoas muscle by pressing into her pubic area; I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd ALWAYS be uncomfortable if an elvis impersonator was pressing my psoas!
@HitchHikersBlues In terms of an effectiveness of a particular treatment being effective then no, nothing is a certainty in medicine. But at least conventional medicine is based on scientific scrutiny. Chiropractic is not a medical field and it is not based on science. It helps so many people by utilising the placebo effect or taking techniques from conventional medicine. I'm happy that people are being helped by it, but they are being misled and extored by this fake field of care.
This guy looks like he really knows what he's doing. Very thorough ... Working on the psoas muscle so much is so effective. I'm going to see him when I'm back home!
Why are people saying this video is boring? Its soo annoying! What were people expecting? Balloons? confetti? strippers? Bill Bailey playing guitar? Its a chiropractic adjustment video, of course its going to be slow and tentetive.
@Itsnattatooma most conventional medicine is a fraud, and is for idiots who don't know the difference between a mickey-mouse cover-up with drugs from correcting the actual cause of the health problem.
Dear Mr. Chiropractor, After a car accident where i hit the side of my head against the bar between the windshield and the window, i felt a need to crack my neck every hour. HOW DO I STOP?
i've had this treatment, i know it works...was in a wheelchair, now im not, yet western medicine still acts like it's voodoo. it's pure logic when you understand :-)
@MsMickeyness there is very little logical about a lot of chiro and nothing at all about applied kinesiology.The only medicine that exists is western,chinese medicine is pure superstition.
ive been having chiropractice for over 4 years - im now developing doubts as im worse off now than what i was when i started. currently off work paying for more adjustments with acute lower back pain - i originally went in with tightness across my shoulders
ancient cultures use spirit healing and herbs, some are still doing it and have done for thousands of years. Me, on the other hand, was born within the past 100 year period and that's the only history and knowledge that applies to me. The fact that I feel stuff, like tension, and then feel my stomach tense - is just an illusion. The fact that I'm in love and feel the blood rush, that's bogus too. If it was real, it would mean it could be healed, but healing doesnt exist because I say so. jeez,
Oh, and I like how EVERY chiropractor "sells" his shtick by comparing the cost and effort with actual medical intervention, without even showing any empirical, documented evidence. Now, I don't claim true medical intervention is the end all be all, but it would be nice to see just one chiropractor not sound like a sleazy door-to-door salesman, bashing MD's and glorifying their own practice as if it was a "cure all". Please.
One thing I noticed with EVERY chiropractic video on youtube is that I see only 2-4 simple adjustment moves my grandmother could perform, yet every chiropractor is claiming to be "curing" different things with those simple adjustments. How very convenient...
Or you could see a GOOD physical therapy/physio that will fix it in 2 treatments sessions and teach you how to treat it yourself whenever you have time.
The L5 nerve root is not between L4 and L5. Also, I only watched the first minute and got bored of this idiot firing out every random scientific word that pops into his head to sound intelligent. What a joke, and what absolute bullshit
@RowsOfHouses What he said was that the herniated disc between L4 and L5 would compress the L5 nerve root. Which is true. This is because of the way the nerve roots are oriented in the lumbar spine.
@RowsOfHouses He makes sense to me, and of course it's boring.
It's just an average day at the office for this guy! What matters is that he can treat the patient. There aren't many jobs that are more cool then this, in my opinion.
@sueyking by cool you mean a complete scam that is the plague of the nation. This is all outrageous nonsense you do realise. There is no scientific evidence behind any of the practices the guy is using. It is the most shameful job I can think of. Taking advantage of so many vulnerable patients.

Recently New Mexico was pushing a bill to allow chiropractors prescription rights and the profession rallied to oppose.

@besthealthdc Osteopathy has become a well respected medical profession. It basically took all of the good parts of chiropractic, dropped the mysticism and voodoo parts, and combined it with science based medicine. In the United Stated Osteopaths perform pretty much the same functions as Medical Doctors. Chiropractic, in my opinion, is stuck in the past bleeding people and balancing the humors by comparison. Osteopathy is what chiropractic should have evolved into and it's a shame it didn't.
workingstiff76 9 months ago
@workingstiff76 Up till about 1972 osteopath's and chiropractors were the same with only a difference in philosophy. Chiropractic is based in the theory that misaligned spinal joints can cause interference in the function of spinal nerves. Osteopaths believed misalignments in any joints of the body cause a circulatory problem and thus disease. In 1972 the course load of an MD, an osteopath, and a chiropractor were near identical. Osteopaths petitioned for MD status.
besthealthdc 9 months ago
@besthealthdc Upon completion of a pharmacology course they were granted MD degrees. Chiropractors do not want to prescrib drugs or perform surgery, that is the scope of the MD's and it has its place. Drugs have side effects that can be horrible and often deadly. Surgery, even in its best outcome is a terrible trauma to the body. If it can be avoided it should be. PT's do Mobilizations, they are similar to adjustment done by chiropractors but they are long lever, not as specific.
besthealthdc 9 months ago
@workingstiff76 Osteopaths do manipulation as well but are more respected by some because they have been absorbed by the medical profession. My point was that they used to be an alternative to drugs and surgery but now utilize drugs in the treatment. Chiropractors (in general) know there is a place for prescription medication, and very obviously there are times for surgery and emergency interventions. We fill a niche in helping people avoid drugs and surgery.
besthealthdc 9 months ago
@workingstiff76 In terms of biomechnics chiropractors, PT's and osteopaths do very similar things. The modalities used (if modalities are used) are all the same. Chiropractors are more specific with the spinal adjusting because that is their primary focus. They know how to put motion into a fixated motion segment and get that segment to move correctly. There are however, many philosophies and approaches in the chiropractic profession and many non-chiropractic therapies being utilized.
besthealthdc 9 months ago
@workingstiff76 Chiropractic is controversial because it is misunderstood, as these posts clearly show. Chiropractors are trained as first responders so they are able and in fact required to perform first aid at the site of an accident but they aren't trauma doctors and do not claim to be. The role of misalignment (Subluxations) and their effects on the nervous system is constantly being researched but we do not recieve research funding from the drug companies so its at a snails pace.

@workingstiff76 Chiropractic is coming of age as we, as a society, begin to appreciate the importance of preventative health care. I have seen many MD's care for in the practice I worked in and they understand and value the benefits of the chiropractic care they recieved just as we value and appeciate them for theemergency care they provide. We all have a functional niche and work within those niches. Keep and open mind and educate yourselves then do what you feel is best for you.

@besthealthdc I found your posts to be informative and interesting, and I thank you for making them. You seem like you are one of the more informed and progressive chiropractors. I do believe chiropractic could be more accepted and have a larger role in medicine if it could acknowledge that some of it's beliefs are outdated and hold certain elements of its' practitioners to a higher standard.
workingstiff76 9 months ago
If you are unfamiliar with the terminology I suggest you look up definitions before making insulting comments on things you don't understand. As for the rotation issue, the Doctor has the patient turned but there is very little rotation involved in the actual adjustment. The posture is simply to open the joint space to accomodate freedom of motion in the joint, a prone position would block or add resistance to the adjustment.

OK, This "guy", as you so respectfully refer to him, is a Doctor of Chiropractic demonstrating Applied Kinesiology (a nerological evaluation outside of Chiropractic whicj utilizes muscle tests and challenges) That means he has an undergraduate degree, a 4 year post graduate degree in CHiropractic, and an advanced degree in Applied Kinesiology. I believe he is presenting this demonstration to peers and no the general public. If this was a self promotion video he would speak more plainly.

saintbrock3 10 months ago
The Doctor is talking about traversing nerve root (not the exiting nerve root). He is explaining what he is doing quite well actually.
"A lot of confusion occurs because when a nerve root is compressed by disc herniation or other cause, it is common to refer both to the intervertebral level (where the disc is) and to the nerve root that is affected. Depending on where the disc herniation or protrusion occurs, it may impinge upon either the exiting nerve root or the traversing nerve root."
besthealthdc 10 months ago
@besthealthdc
He is not "explaining what he is doing quite well" at all. People like this guy make a living out of throwing around big words in appropriate contexts so it sounds like he is completely in the know. To someone half paying attention, words like "dermatome", "nerve root", "L5, S1", and names of muscles innervated by the lumbosacral plexus all sound well-placed and legit. But if you listen carefully he's just babbling.

Probably a semi-intelligent med school dropout who can think fast enough on his feet, but at the end of the day is just waffling. The whole point of a being a professional is to be able to explain what you are doing to anyone in a way they'll understand. It isn't about being an arbitrary figure of authority whose word we just "accept" is too hard for us to comprehend, which is what quacks try to do.
RowsOfHouses 9 months ago
This Doctor is using both Chiropractic and AK. He is stating what he is doing quite clearly and plainly and not an idiot at all.
Two Nerve Roots at Each Level
It should be mentioned that two nerves cross each disc level and only one exits the spine (through the foramen) at that level.
•Exiting nerve root. The nerve root that exits the spine at a particular level is referred to as the “exiting” nerve root.

You guys have obviously not studied the science behind all this stuff! Or had an adjustment done before! Chiropractors have a higher help rate than medical Dr.s do! For ie. drugs do not cure a head ache! only mask the problem! and once you have your neck adjusted, that head ache is gone!
Naturally00Me 11 months ago
@Naturally00Me Chiropractors have a higher "help rate" than medical doctors because the results - while not long term - are seemingly immediate. Drugs definitely cure headaches. In fact, an average headache is caused by constricted blood vessels in the skin in and around the forehead, and taking an aspirin "cures" your headache by thinning the blood. It doesn't mask the problem, it responds properly. Having a neck adjustment does not "cure" anything. This isn't science. It's ludicrous.

Hooah1984 11 months ago
@mrsteve0412 Actually, Adjusting the cervical vertebra that is fixated and causing local muscular tension is correcting the problem. Taking a blood thinner is alleviating the symptoms while making you anemic. Drugs always have negative side effects because they alter the bodies homeostatic set points. The body is constantly measuring the state of every system and makes appropriate reactions to changes. When a drug makes a change in the body the body takes actions to counter that change.

Dear Stupid,
The L5 nerve root does exit at the L5-S1 spinal level.. BUT is VERY COMMONLY affected by an L4-5 disc lesion. At that level, it is the lateral-most nerve traversing behind that disc after L4 has exited.
Do you always send un-informed commentary into cyberspace like this? You'd do well to stick with topics you know something about... bagging groceries or whatever that might be.
