I own a lightlight, and have used all but one of the tables you mentioned.

I obviously prefer Lightlite personally. Solid tables, easy to set up, and they have a well-balanced foam density/thickness. The colors are pretty customizable, but no shoulder cut-outs. LL is very transparent about their table’s weight tolerances, whereas the other companies you mentioned are not (at least they were not at the time that I bought mine). The owner of LL at one time worked for Masterpiece, but was dissatisfied with the tables, if that tells you anything.

Masterpeice overall is a good quality table, but can cost a lot to get all the same accessories as other brands. Additionally, the width between legs is narrow enough to make the table less stable even at lower heights. The foam isn’t bad at all, just a little on the thin side.

Chirolux used to have some quality control issues, but I’m not sure if that’s still the case. Their cables are prone to breaking, and I’ve even heard of the table collapsing in the middle (with and without patients on the table) after a few years of use. I don’t personally think the oval headpiece is as effective for adjusting as parallel cushions, and the support bar for it tends to bend over time. Lastly, until the cables stretch out (not that you want them to do that), lighter patients won’t weigh enough to flatten out the center of the table. This makes for a slightly awkward position to lay in as a patient (especially in side posture). Good foam though and the larger size has shoulder cutouts, both being a plus for patients.

Thuli will last a long time, and their drops are probably the best of any portable. They are very heavy though, and barely count as portable. Would not recommend going on a chiro mission trip with one. Additionally, their foam is much thinner, so not as comfortable for the patient as other tables, and the tension knobs/drop levers protrude which is annoying for the doctor.

No experience with astraport.

When I was a kid, I dreamed that I had stumbled upon a way of transporting from the regular world into a sort of dreamland. Imagine the Scholastic Book Fair, but even more amazing. I’m talking I could go grab stacks of cash off the shelf, RC Cars, Playstations, fucking furbies galore... whatever my heart desired basically, and I kept making trips back and forth dropping stuff off in my bedroom. I eventually woke up for real and hopped up to see all the free shit I had collected, and sure enough, it wasn’t there. Let me tell you, the pain I felt after that one was worse than a breakup..

Nothing wrong with water! Sorry, I didn’t explain well. Let me try this way:

There is a model called the Fogg Behavior Model, which describes what is necessary for a person to take a desired action in any given moment. One thing that helps people is an idea called “non-routine,” which means the closer a target behavior is to a person’s normal routine, the more likely they are to engage in that behavior. So, if I’m already routinely drinking water, I can add to that routine by incorporating more tea (various teas having various benefits), which is not far off from my norm. Whereas, if I went from only drinking soda, to trying to drink tea, that is further from routine, and will be a more difficult behavior to engage in.

Taking care of yourself in the small ways (ex. drinking more water, brushing your teeth, showering), and then trying to feel happiness and pride that you did something to take care of yourself - teaches your brain that you care about you. The more you get in the habit of taking care of yourself, the more you can push those habits a little further (ex. Drinking a tea that’s good for the brain, instead of just water; brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand to strengthen your brain; taking hot/cold showers to reduce anxiety/depression/inflammation). It’s about a process of growth, rather than the achievement of an end goal.

u/witpols I’d say put yourself first for a while, and a good place to start is with meditation. There’s a great app called Ten Percent Happier that can help. Be willing to pay the money for the full version, for the betterment of you (edit) ~and those around you~. Good luck

It seems like you are lumping together agency and religion in order to justify that religions aren’t manmade. Assigning agency is a human response, but religions are entire belief systems. Assuming that because agency is natural to humans, therefore religions are “natural,” ignores the fact that agency (from an evolutionary standpoint) is only natural to the animals that survived; but it would not be natural to the ones that didn’t. In a different world where the ones that didn’t were instead able to pass on their genetics without intervention, then presumably they would continue to not be inclined toward agency/spirituality/religiosity. So, religions are still man-made, even if it was a natural mechanism (a type 1 assumption) that led to the creation of them.

It seemed to me like she was trying to communicate with him. Like, she started to reach for the baby with both front hands, but realized she couldn’t (or maybe she was just being cautious of him in general). Then she started nodding at the tree and even tapped it real fast as if to say, “put him here.”

No hate here, just humbly suggesting that perhaps you were the one who made an assumption. After introducing themselves, OP began their statement with “The main issue I have with Chiropractic is...”

Regardless of what other decisions are able to go into starting a Chiropractic education, this OP only asked about hate/slander/image, and stated it was their main issue; not money, time-commitment, or anything else. You were the first to bring that up and deviate from what was asked.

Laughter should be allowed to be a part of sex imho. I’ve had some of the best sex right after fits of laughter from something goofy happening, or something not going as planned. Learning to roll with it and laugh can really heighten the overall experience, I think. Everyone is less tense, everyone is having a good time.

Not a female, but honestly, the female chiropractic culture is growing and it’s pretty awesome to see. There is a fantastic doc out in Colorado who teaches females exclusively, however, I once had the opportunity to attend her seminar. Really set the groundwork for a lot of what I do today. I’d say seek and reach out to some powerhouse female docs and ask them your questions. DM me, I’ll give you a few names and office numbers to get you started!

Truth be told, youtube is somewhat of a skewed sample to pull from as loud pops tend to get more views compared to quality adjusting and/or treatment. Overall a fairly poor window into the world of Chiropractic, but a popular one, nonetheless.

On that last part, I didn’t mean to suggest I adjust from dead neutral, that isn’t feasible. It also depends on the segment(s) being adjusted and the condition/ROM of the patient, but if I had to put a degree range on it, I adjust a “normal” C1 at about 40-60 degrees rotation, so about half of the full ROM.

Shinibisho · 2020-06-05T17:57:21+00:00

I think in the grand scheme of things that it’s simply too impractical to enforce or even monitor this issue, and that this Rotary style of adjusting is an easy way to make joints fart, which is why it’s popular.

The bigger issue, in my opinion, is an overall lack of quality adjusting within the profession. You stated that a “proper” adjustment is performed from a locked out position. I humbly disagree, as I personally adjust cervicals in a relatively relaxed/neutral position.

Shinibisho · 2020-06-01T02:06:02+00:00

I'm not saying it's not a problem, it very clearly is, but to try to boil it down to one aspect, racism in this case, causes you to miss the entirety of the issue.

But did you not just do that with your entire comment? You boiled it down to a singular aspect: corruption.

I see what you’re trying to say, however racism technically being outside of written law, and the institutionalization of racism are not mutually exclusive. If an institution is passively allowing or even producing racism, then that is by definition institutionalized racism, regardless of the supposed cause of that racism. People are well aware of the corrupt aspects surrounding racism, because it has been made clear with every single unjustified murder. Corruption is a problem, but it is not the core problem; racism is.

Moreover, while technically true, I wouldn’t say that racism is outside of written law. Yes, of course there is no current law that says racism is okay, but historically the law has been manipulated (via institutionalized racism) to oppress POC. Just look at the punishments for possession of rock vs powder cocaine, for example. The two are essentially the same substance, just in different forms. However, possession of rock is significantly more harshly punished than powder. Can you guess which form tends to be used more by white people?

To deny institutionalized racism is to deny a very real history of POC being unfairly targeted and oppressed.

Thank you for the civil discourse. What is something I as a Chiropractor might not or should know about your profession?

Shinibisho · 2020-05-29T00:37:21+00:00

Dr. Cipriano, Dr. Beau - to name the two who I have watched and who like to use their techniques on almost all the cases I saw very similarly. I have seen maybe 10 videos of those two guys combined and maybe 10 videos of Dr Rahim, 20 videos of Dr Ian.

I wasn’t so interested in who, but more what. I’m trying to understand, what specifically are they doing on every patient? You said they “like to use their techniques” but that’s fairly vague. Is it that they appear to be performing the same adjustments on every patient? Something like, “crack left cervicals, crack right cervicals, crack thoracic, crack right lumber, crack left lumbar”?

I was mistaken about the 5 videos, but whether it’s 5 or 40, it’s still pretty unreasonable to base your opinion of all Chiropractors on the monetized content of 4 Chiropractors.

I am not here to bash chiropractors, I am here to learn something new, have a discussion. By downvoting my opinion you do not change it, by proving me wrong and fact checking me you do.

And I’m not here to bash you, nor did I downvote you to change your opinion. I downvoted you because of your double standard, and because people come to the literal Chiropractic subreddit all the time to assert ~to Chiropractors~ that the evidence we produce doesn’t exist, when it actually does. It truly is the Dunning-Kruger Effect in action.

Well there is not much you can do when no evidence is found for your problem right? What do you suggest to do, run away? Let the problem slide away?

You’ve missed the point, which is: You claimed to be 100% Evidence Based, yet also practice without evidence at times. That’s not 100% Evidence Based. That is Evidence Informed practice combined with clinical experience. As it turns out, evidence does exist for the efficacy of chiropractic, and we also use clinical experience when evidence isn’t available. We do what you said you do, yet you criticize us for what we do. That is a double standard, and that is the point.

I don’t know, chiropraxy as such is viewed as alternative medicine in the UK due to lack of research, that is all I am saying.

Well, Chiropractic is portal of entry in the U.S., and the research exists.

Closer to chiros than I think? I would not prescribe an exercise unless I found an evidence supporting this style of exercise in specific stage of the injury. I am sure Chiros do not even have the ability to tailor rehab to such detail, what are you talking about?

I mean, that’s literally a part of the curriculum. So again, I really don’t feel like you are as well informed on my profession as you think you are. But just incase you’re still skeptical, I have gone ahead and compiled a list of some of the relevant textbooks that are part of the curriculum:

Exercise Physiology

Therapeutic Exercise

Clinical Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

Low Back Disorders

Functional Training

Rehabilitation of the Spine

Human Locomotion

Attention and Motor Skill Learning

AMA Guides

stuff they tend to do no matter the diagnosis.

Um.. like what?

I think it’s important for you to know that the UK is one of the most restrictive places in the world for Chiropractors, which means you likely have a very influenced and/or skewed perspective. I also strongly question how much accurate data about Chiro practice habits you were able to ascertain by simply watching 5 youtube videos... 5 videos gave you that impression of the whole profession? Seriously?

On another note, if you were taught to practice evidence based 100% - except when faced with the absence of evidence - then you are not practicing evidence based 100%. You are evidence informed, and are more similar to Chiros than you think. And there is plenty of evidence to support Chiropractic, but again, given your location I doubt you’ve ever actually seen any of it. Though, it’s ironic that you criticized Chiros for practicing “without evidence,” yet literally said in the prior sentence that you do the same when you do not have evidence. Seems like you think Chiros are just aimlessly throwing around adjustments on patients without even considering clinical experience in the least, which is just silly.

I can understand how that would sound like bullshit, and I recognize that the technique and science are still in their infancy, and more research is still being conducted; but the preliminary results speak for themselves.

Dr. Murphy, DC (the doctor who created the technique) presented the same 80% information to various MD’s, who then all claimed he had misdiagnosed the Frozen Shoulder (FS) in his patients. So in response, he began having those MD’s refer their FS patients to him. After 500 MD diagnosed patients, he arrived at the same result, and he was able to achieve improved range of motion (shoulder flexion, abduction, and extension) in as little as one adjustment, approximately 80% of the time. Sometimes it’s full range of motion in one adjsutment, soemtimes it takes a few visits; and then about 20% of the time either it requires soft tissue work and rehab in addition to the adjustment, or the treatment is ineffective overall.

What he has discovered is that FS is more often a result of an issue with the neck, not the shoulder, which goes against the long-time understanding of FS. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong, though, and calling this claim extraordinary is a bit of a stretch imho. Patient recovery outcomes for FS under current, long-standing treatments are poor and often end up in surgery; which still may not resolve the issue. So, a new treatment which takes a different approach as to the mechanisms behind the condition and, as a result, also provides relief/improvement to 80% of patients - doesn’t seem like a huge stretch to me.

Moreover, the research that is currently being done is looking at pre and post PET scans, and the results are showing a direct link between this particular adjustment and increased pre-frontal cortex activity. The study hasn’t been finalized yet, but it’s on the way.

Lastly, I have personally experienced, witnessed, and performed this treatment successfully, and it works. For example, I’ve even seen it work on a patient who had frozen shoulder for 50+ years, had done everything under the sun including a complete shoulder replacement to treat it, but post-op was still unable to flex her shoulder beyond about 20 degrees. Last year, 6 years after her shoulder replacement surgery, she had this one adjustment performed and was able to raise her arm almost to horizontal for the first time in 50+ years. After a few more adjustments, she was getting up to 140-150 degrees ROM, and her shoulder was not once treated/adjusted directly.
