      i know a girl who takes her literal newborns to her chiropractor

      completely fucking horrifying and it’s impossible to convince her that doing so is like playing catch with your baby as the ball

        That’s just simple streaching of the muscles. Chiropractic treatments put pressure on the spine to change the alignment of it.

          “yeah but I mean, if it feels good when I crack my own back , what if a guy who went to school for that did it, I bet it’d feel great!”

          -poor dupe who thinks they’re a real thing

            I get a chiropractor thru my health provider. I was like really?? They use this gun thing that ‘precisely’ realign my vertebrae. I found if I just say ‘oh wierd now my back kinda pinches’ then they’ll actually crack my back and my neck which is ecstasy.

      I don’t know what they did to me but I actually got lot of relief from them when I hurt my back deadlifting.

        We know massage and gentle manipulation of injured joints make people feel better, when Chiropractic (and various other woo treatments) do appear to help it’s basically just that. None of their science behind it is true. It’s just being right for the wrong reasons.
