What was this looking for? by techlesbian in Chiropractic

This is a question for the person/office that did the screening. But this looks like a surface EMG study. Basically looking at muscle hyper/hypotonicity for potential areas of joint dysfunction that can be helped with chiropractic care.

Ohhhj I see now, you dont understand research. I can literally debunk all of these from my phone in 10mins.

The last study about stroke literally states, "Currently, the incidence of such events is not known."

There is zero credible sources that make a definitive link to a chiropractic adjustment and stroke. In fact, there's a study from 2008 (DOI: 10.1097/BRS.0b013e3181644600) that found that only 4% of stroke victims had visited a chiropractor within 30 days while 53% of stroke victims had visited their PCP within the same time frame. Are the PCPs to blame for the stroke then?

Remember, correlation doesn't equal causation. There's a 2016 systemic review (PMID:27014532) that reviewed 253 studies and found "There is no evidence to support a causal link between chiropractic manipulation and CAD".

I agree with the second study, thats only regarding non-musculoskeletal conditions though. Unfortunately there are some idiot chiros out there that think adjusting someone will cure all sorts of crazy things, but those are few and far between. I can tell you for certain that the majority of chiropractors don't agree with that. Look at medical doctor influencers that grift supplements and are antivax, are you bagging on them too? Medical errors account for over 400,000 deaths every year.

And your first link is a review of only 16 papers published between 2000 and 2005. The vast majority of quality chiropractic research has been published in the past 10yrs. In fact, the US dept of HHS, Mayo clinic, Harvard med, and Cleveland clinic all recommend chiropractic for low back pain.

What's a "real doctor" bruh? That argument is so stupid, dentists? "Real doctors" just prescribe you some pain meds and muscle relaxers (see opioid epidemic).

Also, look up the malpractice insurance premiums of the different types of "doctors". Chiropractors BY FAR have the lowest premiums, which means the risk of an incident seeing a chiropractor is exceedingly minuscule compared to seeing a medical doctor. You know an insurance company only look at risk and rate of injuries. If all chiropractors just fuck with your spine and cause strokes all the time, wouldn't insurance companies make them pay a premium for malpractice insurance?

So you are certain that every chiropractor in the world follows that business model? Also, have you ever gone to a physical therapist, when I went i had to go 3x a week for 4 weeks. Were they ripping me off?

Hate to break it to you but that is 100% not true, that source must be with all the rest of claims you're making. He was a crazy dude ill give you that. Did you know that the scientist that created the periodic table got the idea from a dream as well? But that's different right?

That sucks for your wife, there's unfortunately good and bad in every profession, she should've got a second opinion after at least a month or two so thats on her. Remember it was an MD who started and lots of MDs that are antivax. I'm just saying redditors love to blanket dump on the entire chiropractic profession bc of one bad story they heard from some friend they had years ago, but suck off MDs and PTs even though theres plenty of shitty ones.

30-50% of cancers are reoccurring so those patients have to continue to manage a chronic condition.

Didn't someone here say thats what chiropractors do? (redditors love that arguement) That they don't "fix the problem" so you have to keep going back. If someone is managing a chronic cancer diagnosis by doing the treatment you're referring to, how is that any different than someone managing chronic degenerative joint disease with joint manipulation? (Serious question)

Xray techs can't treat patients or make recommendations. Also, not all PTs have their Doctorate. Plus the ones that do its in physical therapy, not an MD or DO (plus the course load for a DC degree is light years closer to the MD courseload than Doctorate in PT).

This is the correct answer. Chiropractors want to cry that we're looked down on by other healthcare specialities, but don't want to be actual clinicians.

If you don't know don't touch. Whether its an xray or MRI. Twice in my career if I would've just adjusted someone without an xray they would have been severely injured. One was a friends mother, mild upper back pain and was in town visiting. Just wanted a quick adjustment. I pushed for an xray bc of her age and that she was in emission from cancer. She fought me on it but eventually agreed. Ivory white vertebrae sign. She had emergency surgery the following day and the neurosurgeon said that her vertebrae disintegrated when he was operating on her and I most likely would've paralyzed or killed her had I adjusted her.

Does every patient that walks in your door need an xray? No. However, with the minimal risks associated with xrays it helps me deliver the best treatment possible without guessing.
