Why would you go to a chiropractor for any medical problem? Get a tarot reading and a horoscope, the results will be just as useful.
My neighbor is a neurologist and told me that an astoundingly high number of people who come to the ER due to a stroke had recently had a rapid neck adjustment by a chiropractor.
I will never go to a chiropractor after what she told me.
Worth noting that the chance of a stroke being triggered by a chiropractic neck adjustment is extremely low, but it does happen, and I bet if you look at stroke cases a good chunk of them recently had a neck adjustment. That said, chiropracters are complete horse shit.
You may very well think that, but my mum had a cold and went to a chiropractor, and within a week the cold was gone.
Fucking miracle, mate.
The results from a tarot reading and horoscope would be safer than going to a chiropractor.
There is some (light) evidence that some of the adjustments may be beneficial with some back issues, etc.
Having said that, the field of chiropractic medicine is, just like homeopathy, medical quackery and should be outlawed.
The few accidentally beneficially things should be included with other medical fields, and this nonsense should just be prohibited.
I'm tired of the vast majority of people holding on to childhood beliefs and just letting that grow and fester to the point where they believe absolute nonsense. Yeah, pyramids under my bed will help me sleep because they channel my chakras on June the 15th because I'm a scoprio, or some other utter nonsense. Same as praying to Jesus as night. All of it is at the level of still believing in Santa Claus and the easter bunny. Grow up, become responsible adults, please.
The thing with chiropractors is they essentially market themselves as specialty doctors, and most people think they actually are medical professionals.
I went to a chiropractor until she told me that the inventor of the practice had once cured someone's blindness.
"Bullshit," I immediately thought, and never went to any chiro again.
Some of them dabble in physical therapy and do some useful stuff. I think that may be why they keep a better reputation than, say, homeopaths.
I was willing to accept that maybe there's some actual medical use for chiropractors except now a large chiropractic chain is one of my clients at work and along with their rampant HIPPA non-compliance I've gotten to see how the sausage is made, how much of a conveyer belt they designed that does not stop long enough for any real personalized patient care I trust them less than I ever did (another client is the fact that they also own a chain of "natural medicine" stores which they often place in the same buildings as their chiropractic clinics)
I wouldn't even know where to start unwinding this Gordian knot of reasoning.
he fucked his wife and caught the covid vaccine… because that’s how that works
Hey bb, you ~~up~~ need to get vaxxed? 😏 🔥
Gordian knot
The standard way of dealing with those would probably work here too. Swift and painless, and the knot is no more.
There is no knot. It's the women's fault as usual. That harlot being vaccinated and all.
So basically:
But yeah, the real reason for all his problems is a magical contagious vaccine. I swear this reality is so fucked because of these people.
I know covid is associated with weird clotting issues, I'd bet money that combined with the "adjustment" contributed to the stroke. If any of the story is true ofc
Vertebral artery dissection. Very common chiropractic caused stroke. Vision changes are common in it.
Can also happen at the hair stylist (crazy crazy rare), the chair they wash your hair in puts strain on the neck in a similar fashion to a chiropractic 'adjustment'.
I get migraines after a hair appointment. Thought for years it was from the chemicals in the hair products. After a discussion with my physio about my migraines, he suggested not having my hair washed for the same reason he rants about chiropractors. Next appointment, I arranged to arrive with my hair already washed and still damp - no migraine after. (I quite like the stylist that allowed this for me, she told me she now suggests to her clients who get migraines after having their hair done they do the same, hopefully with similar results as me.)
Chiropractic strokes are a known thing, and Kevin Sorbo is one of the known victims. I think he was already an asshole before it, but it certainly didn't make him less of one if so.
My wife's best friend is a nurse, before covid she told me that she had four patients that suffered a stroke after visiting a chiropractor. Back pain can be awful. I've known a couple of people who who were helped by them.
...does her son have a cervix?
Cervical Vertebrae. It's the top 7.
I refuse to believe she knows that
She probably read it in some misinformation article/Facebook rant.
Or she's just the kind of person who goes to a chiropractor and it's an applicable term that comes up when they're bullshitting you.
Antivax, but trans-inclusive. Confusing.
I can translate. Someone told them that being infected with covid was effectively equivalent to being vaccinated, and they took that the wrong way. The rest is just fear of things they don't understand.
People need to know
Yeah a chiropractor-caused stroke was my first thought too. Some of those guys go way beyond their remit with what they think they can cure with fancy back cracking.
I'm impressed that she knows "all intents and purposes"
My deepest hope in my heart of hearts is that the people who don't believe in scientific evidence, (read: morons), are being fed this shit as part of a eugenics program designed to cull the dumb out of the herd. Therefore... Didn't discourage these people in their beliefs! Eventually, they'll fall victim to COVID, (or whatever the next pandemic might be), removing them from the gene pool, allowing Thanos' plan to come to fruition, and affording us the chance to survive the nightmare our species is currently experiencing.
That’s not how vaccines work though. They rely on herd immunity to truly work.
We really need to come up with a better term than "herd immunity" to describe that phenomenon.
Sub-critical transmission rates?
I wonder who they voted for 🤔
Tap for spoiler
/s
Surely then he should go to a homeopath and buy some very expensive water in which an undetectably tiny amount of the vaccine has been repeatedly diluted. That should unvax him in no time.
No, he caught the vaccine from his wife. It's contagious.
If that actually happened things would be so much better.
Me reading this
Everyone knows that sleeping with a vaxxed person transmits the vaccine into your bloodstream. He’s lucky he survived.
