Current Events > Have you ever been to a chiropractor?

(+) Yeah! (+)

And if you did, was it worth it?

Nah, I stick to professionals for my medicine.

Nope because the chiro I went to was weak as fuck and couldn't crack any of my bones. If you go to one who is strong enough to do it then it is worth it.

Yeah, I think it can be worth it. There's a lot of overlap with what a chiropractor does and physical therapy, but my insurance has a relatively cheap copay in comparison.

As part of my physical therapy as a kid after a serious injury. Perhaps it was simply a back specialist that my parents refered to as a chiropractor though.

I'm an odd kase for them. There no kuring my problem. Chiro treatment keeps me going, but the damage I'm doing from working the way I do is pretty much out-pacing anything they kan do for me, hence my obsession with getting rich enough to never work again.

No because I like actual doctors.

No. I've never had chronic back pain or anything similar.

Plus I hate being touched by people I don't know.

Neh. Im scared there's a chance they accidentally advice my scoliosis curve and I end up damaged to a point I can't mentally handle it.

They make you leave after the 3rd accident

When I was in my young 20s, I pulled a muscle in my back. My mom had a chiropractor appointment the next day, and she wanted me to go with her. I kept saying that it was a pulled muscle, not a spinal issue, and that it would be fine in a day or two, as that had been the case every time in my life Id ever pulled a muscle. I eventually said that I would go, just because she was starting to make a really big deal about it.

That trip did more to make me think that the whole industry is a crock of shit than anything else Id seen or heard. The person who saw me first brought me into the examination room, and before even asking me what was wrong, he gave me like a 5 minute presentation on why I should make it a priority to make periodic appointments going forward. They then cracked my back a few times, and lastly hooked me up to some machine that provided small electric shocks to my back around the area I said was pulled.

The pain just naturally went away in like 2 days. Everything they did at the chiropractor did nothing as far as short term pain was concerned. If anything, cracking my back while I had a pulled muscle put me into mild discomfort while they did it.

Between my kondition and me being me, I don't really have much options in the job department.

My wife went to like 5

They're all quacks, there's a reason you have to keep going back. None of it is real

Yeah
Dude was an anti-mask nut, so now I don't trust any chiropractor

Yes and yes. I was having immense shoulder and forearm problems/pain and he helped solve them in about 2-3 visits for each.

I tried it out for a month last year. Feels good I guess, but I don't think it actually did anything in the long run.

Yes, it was from a car accident. It was free too since I was not at fault. It helped my bruised ribs greatly.

I had gone for a couple years because of back issues and it was worth it.
