What Does a Chiropractor Do? : Chiropractic Lumbar Spine Adjustments

[MrCass71]

Hi! I find my spine goes out of alignment quite often but when i have someone hug & squeeze me, it goes back into place very easily again. What is the cause of this??? THX

[frantahouska]

What they do? They collect your money for 21 century quackery!

Huh... never knew David Cross was a chiropractor. Well, live and learn.

[FreakishAnimeFan]

....I know it is stupid but EVERY chiropractor video I watch, the patient never looks happy and the chiropactor always appear deceptively perverted as he tries to subtlely feel you up.

[Tovash]

[sarahata22]

here is the question why does my back hurt when I lay down? It hurts really bad sometimes I cannot breathe. I am ok the rest of the day but when I go to bed it hurts and I know it is not the mattress because my husband is not having any problems

[dieselwarriordotcom]

My back feels like a trainwreck, its been a year since an adjustment, I need to get back to my backcracker...Love a good adjustment!

What does a chiropractor do ??

Short Answer = Nothing

the dude looks like a tier 3 sex offender

@ opspreylookout: Its so annoying to read your comments on every last one of these videos. You are a clown. No one cares that you think chiro is the bane of man's existence, they do care that you stop your incessant blather.

[ospreylookout]

@goanalog3 I coudn't care less if you read or not.

Chiro: For the construct "subluxation" there's no evidence that it exists or that "doing something about it" has an effect. The burden of proof falls on chiros show that the subluxation can be objectively demonstrated, that it does cause interference with the nervous system, and that it does cause disease. They have failed to do so for 115 years.

[ospreylookout]

Guardian, online: Further criticism has been focused on the BCA's presentation of supporting data, in particular its claim that a "plethora" of evidence backs the effectiveness of chiropractic in treating various childhood illnesses. Last year, facing demands that the BCA engage in scientific debate over its position, the association released its "plethora" to the public. Cont on #2.

[ospreylookout]

#2 Guardian, online: The statement, supported by just 29 citations, was ripped apart by bloggers within 24 hours of publication, before being subjected to a further shredding in the British Medical Journal. It emerged that 10 of the papers cited had nothing to do with chiropractic treatment, and several weren't even studies. The remainder consisted of a small collection of poor-quality trials.

[ospreylookout]

I suggest that anyone interested, Google the Guardian UK for the story entitled, Furious backlash from Simon Singh libel case puts chiropractors on ropes; One in four chiropractors in Britain are under investigation as a result of campaign by Singh supporters, by Martin Robbins.

[ospreylookout]

chiro: Can you provide the physiological mechanism for "vitalism" and "subluxation", which your profession claims is at the basis of your magical powers? Can you provide one shred of evidence that any study has ever supported these terms? Chiro is bs, and is practiced by under educated dr wannabies who failed the MCATS. But please, just offer the substantiated exxplanation. Reference citations would be most appreciated.

[weversonman]

this guy is such a con artist. I guarantee that any joe blow out there can go up to some patient and rub their back a little bit, poke around pretending like he's doing some kind of test like this guy, and then lay them flat and crack their back by just pushing on it and the person will say their back feels better. Chiropractic is no different than a massage really. Except that it costs way more and makes claims way above what it can support.

[TheCrazyOgre]

Rofl... are you on all of these? I think your problem is that you don't use common sense. Why don't you go play in your corner.

[DraftMasterJohn]

...and the average on having a negative outcome to some sort of chiropractic visit is something in the high 1 to 50 millions. Meaning that only 1 in some 50 million visits produces something bad (other than complaining).

Of course I know someone who cries when he gets his back just rubbed. He's big and bulky welder/mechanic type dude. I don't think he'd have a positive outcome with a chiropractor in any case. Just saying.

[bla7091]

Recorded wrong outcomes aren't the full picture, not all of it is registered as a result of a chiropractic adjustment.

And even if the actual number is relatively small, because of the nature of this treatment the sustained injury can be very severe

[DraftMasterJohn]

What was that? Did you say something ::pointing at myself:: You want a response to that? Very well. You say there are missed diagnosis, unreported date, inmeasurable outcomes, and results that "can be" Wow. That is more subjective than a Pablo Picaso. And trust me, he isn't the only one with a big "P.P." on his name tag. I don't need to point do I? Its hard to argue with unreported facts. Tell me, do they also have flying zebras in this place you live? I would surely love to visit if they do.

[bla7091]

The outcome "can be" dangerous, yes. "Can be" because it doesn't always result in damage

Most if not all chiropractors would say such cases are nearly non-existant and that this method is completely safe

When there is a risk of getting a stroke while doing this, at least patients should be informed about it. That's my 2 cents on this topic

[DraftMasterJohn]

No, your right. I lied. I couldn't help but comment again. Though it's just, selfless, and doesn't include any profanity.

The popping sounds you hear when people get any kind of chiropractic adjustment, or even when you crack your knuckles, is not bones breaking. I risk my promise to not comment against making this perfectly clear and educate you. The popping sound is nitrogen in your body, not bones breaking or tendens snapping. A medical doctor confirmed that. And now you know.

[DraftMasterJohn]

And I stopped framing my toilet paper rolls when I was in Kindergarden, thirty some odd years ago.

Thanks for the vulgar satire and asinine posts. If you need me further send me a message. I don't think I need to comment further. I'll just let you do all the whining and crying.

Goodbye.

[sulivel]

all I know is i had this manipulation about five month ago and my hip is really suffering on one side from it...

[phileustace]

This video shows a funky quack chiropractor who would happily serve you "Spineapple" Pizza.

[phileustace]

This looks like a slow motion physical assault video. BEware folks, Chiropractors are "vandals" who attack your spine.

[ashman012012]

I am a rehab based chiro. Unfortunately, there are a lot of quacks out there. Do your research first! Adjustments have been proven to decrease lumbar back pain (this is randomized clinical trials) also an adjustment of the spine excluding the SI is not specific at all! Reference is Stu Mcgill and Ross. See a chiro who is rehab based and not a subluxation based doctor. It boils my blood when theses types of chirps call themselves doctors.

[samoanking123]

thank you ive seen some of these types of vid but could never hear a difference in what they were saying. more of the difference between a massage or actual help thanx

[sulivel]

is it normal to have some soreness/pain after one of these manipulations? how long should it last, i had one a month ago and never went back to the chiro, it was a friday and i had a horrible weekend, i don't know like something went wrong, my hip and my back on the right side still hurt specially when I lift something, will it ever heal? how do i know if he is a subluxation doctor? by the way i didn't go in there with lower back problems...

[YellowCakeKid]

when u get adjusted it increases circulation in the area, and usually before adjusting, the muscles around the area are tense from trying to keep everything aligned (which was just corrected). now that its no longer out of place, the muscles relax and the acid that builds up (the burn or soreness) damages the muscles just like if u had just worked out. the best remedy is a good jog or a good massage.  and by good massage i mean tissue massage, not that "let me relax and sleep" crap

[cowy1]

Kudos to you for being a rational, evidence based chiropractors. 95% of your profession gives people like you a bad name.

Do you have any thoughts about how to improve chiropractic education to rid the field of its pervasive quackery? Or is it too endemic to be saved?

[cowy1]

Good for you not being a quack like the most of the rest of your profession.

Do you have any ideas about how to rid chiropractic of its unscientific and unethical practices?

[evolgub]

what is the difference between rehab based and subluxation based?

[chiropractic47]

Your confused with both; chiropractic and your role in chiropractic. You learned subluxation based care in chiropractic school while heavily medically oriented, discarding all you werre to covet. Not being busy with too much time on your hands you post as a frustrated medipractor. Get some help from a "real" chiropractic doctor.

[sebbbo77]

Firstly, Chiropractors are quacks.

Secondly - they're better off as massuers

or prostitutes. How dare they call themselves

doctors?? Buah ha ha ha h aha ha

[handbrakemaster]

@sebbbo77 yeah i know right. just go get a thai massage.. costs a fraction of the price and feels better. i dont trust chiropractors at all

[DraftMasterJohn]

Why do you think that I wonder. Is it because Chiropractors do something visible and measurable and all Medical Doctors do is practice? You like it when half a job gets done don't you? Is that why your wife looks pissed off?... cause she got half done? What say ye, oh wise and powerful Dr. Sebbbo77?

[sebbbo77]

If anyone does a half job its chiropractors. Giving a massage over a spine or tissue is like putting a flimsy bandage on a deep wound. Medically trained doctors go one step further - they do a FULL job by placing aluminum and titanium inserts into the spine and screwing them on to ENSURE CORRECT POSTURE. Chiropractors break bones, re-adjust spinal alignments and generally cause pain and suffering for clients. The reason the clients keep coming back is because the job is only HALF DONE.

[DraftMasterJohn]

I don't know if there is a single person in this world I could disagree with more, and there are almost 7 billion of us. Operations with implants and inserts yes. But a Doctor once asked, "if you had a peble in your shoe that cause you pain and someone suggested you take pain killers for it, what would you think of that individual?" Why not ask yourself that question?

[DraftMasterJohn]

Another Doctor once said, "First I do no harm, but I can cause all the pain you need to get better." A portion of that quote has been embraces by all Doctors, those believe upon by you and those not, as a life long doctrine. Disrespect the Creedo of those you defend? Now, now where are your manners? If you wish to debate medice please research your topic. Don't bother me with childish games and half a job worth of study. Your opinion I value, your existence offends me. Thankyou.

[sebbbo77]

Well thankfully you don't have an opinion.

And at best its a severely uneducated one.

[DraftMasterJohn]

I'm sure everyone that disagrees with you must be uneducated. So your saying you'd agree with the side of the Doctor's Parable where you'd take pain medicine to cure a peble in your shoe? You really didn't respond to that at all and it was in my earlier post. Reading your post and not seeing any response to that made me feel like I was speaking to a lying, crooked, sexually disfunctional, career congressman... the kind that avoids topics he can't answer. Please show me that I'm wrong. Please.

[darrylhaynes]

YOU ARE A QUACK.....

[Michtiscali]

No it isn't 'ok'

[siamsawadee]

this crackster seems a little more informed than some of these goons

[P3nguinPalooza]

sounds like a girl

[gemaldon]

I second that.

[darrylhaynes]

THATS BECAUSE HE IS GAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[empire562]

you midget

[inbredagogo]

i'd like to assess her ass

[MRUPE82]

CORRECTION!!!! This is not a SPECIFIC technique....research has refuted that claim and manipulation of SI and L/S regions all affect each other without one more specific than the other. The chicago roll technique and lumbar manipulation can be interchanged without differences in joints affected and have similar patient outcomes.

[freshprincechiro]

which journal ??

[MRUPE82]

More like JOURNALS....plural......Spine, Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy and Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapeutics

[freshprincechiro]

as a chiropractor, it is very difficult to believe that there is no difference between global manipulation and specific segmental adjustment. from a clinician's perspective, i see a big changes in people's health ranging from ezema, asthma, and of course, LBPs. and conversely, i saw people getting traumatized with manipulation. there is always 2 sides of the story. i read those journals too. i dont think the PT, MD understand specific chiropractic adjustment very well. that is DCs our fault.

[MRUPE82]

Unfortunately, chiropractors have the flaw of using anectdotal evidence to support their viewpoints, not using blinded randomized controlled trials,and not using researched treatments. If they do use research, they simply reject them if they don't support their views. Lastly, the research done is poor at best, usually without giving detailed descriptions of the treatment and false physiological rationales. Can a chiro adjustment viewpoint be supported by imaging? No.therefore chiros reject it

[cowy1]

Very true, there is no evidence whatsoever supporting the existance of the chiropractic subluxation. It is a complete farce.

[chiropractic47]

You (including me) are the only ones to read and hear that you are an asshole.

[authurunknown]

Where's the pop!
