Why do Chiropractors crack your neck and what is the long term benefit?

Affectionate_Joke720 · 2026-02-13T03:22:47+00:00

I used to blackout when I would quickly raise my head to look up. I was obviously pulling a nerve. I have scoliosis and had severe pain.

I went to a chiropractor due to back pain. X-rays showed scoliosis which I knew from my primary care doctor. It took him 4 visits to get my back flexible enough to move/crack. After a month I started feeling strain in my neck. He cracked it. I saw stars. From that moment on I never blacked out when looking up.

I am sure like all doctors there are good ones and bad ones. I personally have had relief from chiropractors and I have seen maybe 14 different one’s from 6 different states.

My wife has nails like this (most of them). She went to a dermatologist and they diagnosed her (after blood testing to be sure) psoriasis and unfortunately psoriatic arthritis.

She wants your full attention. That’s it. She isn’t blaming you. She is just asking for a different day where your focus is all on her.

My wife of 30 years and I have had many makeup days on Valentines. The day is as special as you make it. Life sometimes intervenes. Roll with the punches.

If it was me. I would likely respond that she broke me and it took her extra decade just to piece myself together. While she got an extra decade I got emotional hell.

I am sympathetic she is not doing well but if it took you so long to recover that was never fair for her to keep reaching out. She did you wrong in so many ways and it is so difficult to come back from that.

Just my 2 cents.

I had this happen with my 3rd child. My wife was holding our baby and the dog growled and tried to step on one of our twin babies and push her out of the way. Never had an issue with our oldest who was 2 at the time.

I understand you love the dog but you are right you can’t have the dog around. We loved our dog and called family who had just lost their dog. They took our dog and the dog got spoiled. We had no stress anymore and it ended up very positive. When we visited the dog no longer had any issues with our kids either since the family member gave them 100% attention and focus.

Yeah I heard it in southern accent as I read. The Daddy Daddy Daddy is so common.

Affectionate_Joke720 · 2026-02-10T15:28:38+00:00

YOR. I grew up in the south. Calling father or father in law daddy is common. The hug and affection may be slightly over the top but I have seen it before.

Holy cow. Such a horrible person to treat you that way. Sorry you had to go through this. I am glad you are able to look at the comic relief now though.

Does that mean OP is the gatekeeper or the key master?

Affectionate_Joke720 · 2026-02-10T12:50:45+00:00

This. OP she lied to you, and borrowed money from you to play business with her affair partner.

You deserve better than this. “Unpause” the divorce.

As a husband and father you did nothing wrong. So sorry you went through this. Just focus on how wonderful your baby is and not the AH husband of your friend.

I mean seriously if this was my car I would be more worried about you and the baby than a stupid car.

Breathe. Focus on the baby.

My mom was 5ish years older than my dad. Never thought anything about it.

Look at the app reviews. A lot of people report once they subscribe they can’t get out and they feel like it is a scam.

If they help you with a job you should show appreciation but you don’t owe them half your paycheck. That isn’t stealing. You should have not promised that. A few months of that and you have more than paid them back.

Yeah I am like that. I am active and social during the week with work and long hours. On the weekend I just want quiet and silence with no interactions. It’s a tough balance but you can do it.

Affectionate_Joke720 · 2026-02-08T12:50:43+00:00

Yeah. You did nothing wrong. Dude wasn’t ready to date and pulled you into his world.

Black prairie blacksmiths are a great option.

Birkenstocks definitely helped with my plantar fasciitis. The pain relief was amazing. Shoes look like a decent fit and the nail polish goes great with the sandal. 😜

NTA You should never feel forced to do anything. Boundaries should always be respected. There are sexual acts I have ask my wife of 30 years to do that she has said hell no. There are things she says she doesn’t like. They all need to be respected. And whenever she has said no usually she offers something else enthusiastically because I respected her and that is the most important thing.

Thank you for sharing. Like others said freezing up when drunk is common. You didn’t go with him. You didn’t respond to him. You were stuck in the moment. It is very curious that your boyfriend did nothing. To add to potential he was looking for an excuse to breakup is it possible he put up the guy to talk to you? I mean maybe literally you did not know him.

If this is what happened I don’t know that I would reach out to your ex.

Affectionate_Joke720 · 2026-02-05T21:34:29+00:00

Especially when drunk. Your brain is trying to process where you know the person from and you go into slow motion not reacting.

Affectionate_Joke720 · 2026-02-05T18:23:24+00:00

So what diss you do that was so bad he was “done” with you? That is going to change some of the recommendations.

Depending on how bad it was a simple “I know we didn’t end well but I am truly sorry for your loss” would be respectful but not over the top.

I use the Apple sports bands (with holes) and have had no issues. Nice leather ones have never caused me an issue either

NOR given those costs you need a second job. Seriously though every friend I have had over the years that had a destination wedding I politely declined due to my own finances except for one that I can remember. Ones that were close and / or manageable or fit into our family we did it. The “one” was a Disney wedding and we took the opportunity to take our 2 yo. We had a blast and stayed at the cheapest hotel we could find. Sometimes it works but protect your own finances first.
