you dont have to put the @ symbol this isnt twitter you cock lover
it dosent usually hurt but there is smetimes when u are really tense there can be a slight pain but there is nothing to worrie about
@KillTheLights13 not usually, if u haven’t been adjusted in a while, or if they use an aggressive technique, it can be *slightly* painful, but no, 99% of the time its just odd hearing all your bones crack at once.
This is probably a REALLY stupid question but the neck popping looks like it’d be kinda painful, is it?
Awesome vid!
same here
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!
“This is clearly the most common question I get. That is an adjusting instrument called an Activator. It is spring loaded for rapid delivery of a force to move one vertebra at a time and has some advantages (and disadvantages, too) compared to traditional manual techniques. This treatment sequence shows several distinct methods of correction, and I commonly combine them in the manner shown, although there are times that one single method may be more desirable on a given treatment session.”
yes, you have to sign a paper before the chiropractic adjustment, saying that they’re not liable for any broken bones or injuries resulting from it. so, yeah you could, if they really didn’t know what they’re doing, but they do.
yup, there are many cases of people, err their families trying to sue a chiropractor.
i know nothing about this kind of work, but is it a possibility at all for an accident to happen where the neck actually snaps, and the patients gets paralyzed or even dies? this is probably a dumb question, but im curios after seeing how he adjusted the neck.
The device you ask about is called an Activator, and I have used it successfully to treat compression fractures of the spine, along with other methods that allowed the patient, a professional mountain bike racer, to return to competition, even though she was told by her orthopedist that she would never ride, let alone race, again. We do it like that around here alot, actually. Hope you find some good help.
newforce3, I think it might be useful to get an opinion from a chiropractor, and it wouldn’t surprise me if there was a difference of opinion. I’m curious to know what kind of doctor gave you the diagnosis of compressed vertebrae and what kind of manipulation she was thinking of that she couldn’t do at this time. Most of us don’t have an L6 so that’s also curious. Did she tell you compression fracture? If so, then there are certain kinds of manipulation that would not be used now but some are ok
oh me too, i got medically retired for it. well at least we have work insurance for now…i could see us with government care…the doctors visit will be like a dmv trip
wat is the price of an adjustment? Or is it a set amount of money for a set amount of adjustments?
my sciatic is fucked up too..i go see one tuesday..yay for insurance from work
what is that device he is using that makes that snapping sound?
I recently hurt my back. The Dr. said L5 and L6 are compressed and she can’t do any manipulation at this time. should I go see a chiropractor?
If the popping sound is realy the joint releasing gas then isn’t that like the joint is farting when you adjust it???
how much does a chiropractic adjustment cost?
I dont see my response. But I never said it wouldnt work. Let me restate what i said.
I said that Its crazy by all the sounds of the bones cracking and poping, i didnt say that it wouldnt work not once.
Than is it the chiropractor actually doing anything?
domandcaro, I’m not sure which chiropractors you are referring to. I have known some who are skilled, and some who are not. I guess that is like any field. In my experience, sciatica should be an easy fix; headaches usually, too. If you are not getting the results you need, perhaps you could get a referral from someone who is happy with their care. Athletes who are interested in performance often know of the best support available for them. Check out my website to see what I mean. Best of luck.
i dont know why but these chiropractors dont give me confidence in them. i never felt like i was getting my moneys worth. always sceptical, i have a sciatica and headaches. no fun.
Nice vid!
