How many fat people goto the chiropractor? If I were a chiropractor I'd be like, the best way to help your back is to lose 150 lbs.

First off, I pay nothing for it, second, it's not mumbo jumbo if it works. I didn't understand it when I went in there. I was skeptical, but thats what my doctor recommended so i went. The chiropractor told me I had scoliosis, and a twisted pelvis. The twisted pelvis was due to my bad ankle, I don't have enough space to explain my ankle here though. Basically, after three or for adjustments, I was walking better, and feeling better. It's common sense if you think about it.

So called Chiropractic "Vertebral Subluxations" do NOT exist! Complete nonsense and quackery. Do not waste your time and money on a 116 year old belief system. These guys will stop at nothing to take your money and make you believe that they are doing some good. No substantial evidence to back up their main method of treatment which is the Chiropractic adjustment. Could do more harm than good, especially when they adjust the neck

This guy reminds me of that Slop-chop infomerical guy, haha.

Chiropractic has been around for 100 years and is gaining steam as the major force in alternative health care which helps people without the use of pharmaceuticals

Its a well researched fact that many people develop degenerative joint disease which primary affects weight bearing joints including the spine. One of the ways to prevent degenerative joint disease is to get regular mobilization to those areas so they don't develop the disease. Chiropractors help for the correct nutrition, adjustments and core stabilization which offset this disease and many others, and by the looks of our culture and the rapidly approaching diseases, frankly we need it.

Usually chiropractors put people on a regulated treatment plan so that the muscle tone can adjust to the bones that are being corrected. It takes a series of adjustments and stabilization in order for the body to correct itself following a misarticulation. Just like dentistry, if you don't take care of your teeth you will get cavities and degeneration. In chiropractic which may be of equal importance is the spine which is the second part of central nervous system.

@pillaroffire100 I don't denie that there are many chiros that do good honest work, but unfortunately after correcting the sacroiliac joint issue, many chiros would tell you to come back again & again for the rest of your life. Why can't one adjustment be just that, only 1, if the bone keeps popping out of place, then you're doing it wrong, for the 23hrs and 50 minutes a day I'm not being adjusted vs the 10 minutes of adjustment what's the point if the bone pops out again. 1 adjustment 1 visit

Thompson drop uses three short adjustments in order for the sacroiliac joint to come into place. Moving the sacroiliac joint into place stops inflammation and corrects the short leg,

You should do more research before you make statements like that, because chiropractic helps millions of people with low back pain.

Yeah go to your medical doctor where he will give you a prescription that tears down the inside lining of your Gi system and gives you ulcers, and in some cases kills 300,000 people a year. After your Gi lining is broken down, you won't be able to absorb b12 which will give you Multiple Sclerosis when you or older. Or you could just get to the root of the problem like chiropractic does.

Thats a very ignorant thing to say about a profession that helps so many people
