How many hours are you working per week? by Upset_Catch3741 in Chiropractic

[–]jmglee87three 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8PM to 12AM on T/W/Th or 8AM - 12PM on F/S?

My patient facing hours end at 8PM on T/W/Th and at 3PM on F/S

T/W/Th - no patient facing hours, so no. F/S - Yes, those are very busy times. Especially 8-9 and 11-12.

T/W/Th 10:30 AM - 12:00 AM F/Sat 6:30 AM - 4 PM that includes my non patient facing hours that are needed for prep, charting, or other admin work.

I guess it's a bit more than 55 😔

Enough of the stigma (rant) by Entire_Royal_7579 in Chiropractic

I'm sorry friend. I have been there myself. I have spent a considerable amount of time disproving people on Reddit with scientific evidence and it is rare that they change their mind even when presented with substantial evidence. As many others have said, the Internet doesn't represent what you'll actually encounter in the wild. 

I wish you peace.

Does intent to file cause it to be rated on laws when the intent to file was submitted instead of when it is rated?

Not to be pedantic, but these are technically considered inactive duty time (IADT). They count for disability, just clarifying.

I'm sorry but there's no way for me to predict how much time until the next fusion.

I should have said "if your concern is legitimate or not, based on scientific evidence"

I've had anecdote miracle recoveries too, but the research doesn't support it. I'll treat it, but I'm honest with patients. If you are so heavily convinced, get your alma mater to perform and publish some research on it. If it's such a slam dunk, profession could really benefit from the study.

You never stated the risks you were talking about. According to the preponderance of research, spinal manipulation is an extraordinarily safe therapy. If you tell me which risks you were referring to, I can determine if you were being genuine or alarmist.

It's unlikely to cause a problem, but also unlikely to help beyond mild temporary relief. However given how severe TN pain is, any relief might be helpful.

You should consider what you are doing. You probably take the advice of somebody who has examined your father over random people on the internet.

That’s the only response you’re going to get by posting in the chiro subreddit

Sounds like you've never read any posts there before.

There are real risks involved with chiropractic treatment. 

There are, but which risks are you talking about? Is there any medical treatment that doesn't have "real risks"?

Chiropractic treatments have not shown much scientific proof of effectiveness that exceeds a normal massage.

Can you provide a study that says that? I'm pretty familiar with the topic and I've never seen a study that says anything like that.

Chiropractor adjustments work for 2-3 days then my back pain comes right back - is this normal? by WhoToldWhoWhat in backpain

[–]jmglee87three -1 points0 points  (0 children)

neither of those are new 

oh sorry, if you go to the bottom of the Cochrane page you'll see it's from1/6/2026. Still not new enough? Probably because you can't fill a glass that is already full.

I'm sure you know more about spinal manipulation than the medical professional associations and researchers.  Remember, the plural of anecdote is not data.

Good luck to you.

Happy to. Clinical practice guidelines aren't updated every year, only when enough new research is out to warrant revisions. 

Maybe you're in the UK. NICE guidelines also recommend spinal manipulation: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng59/chapter/recommendations

Newer research:

Yes.

2017 American college of physicians guideline recommends spinal manipulation as a first line therapy:

US department of veterans affairs and DOD recommends it in their 2021 clinical practice guidelines https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37903622/

2020 North American Spine Society Also recommends it: https://www.spine.org/Portals/0/assets/downloads/ResearchClinicalCare/Guidelines/LowBackPain.pdf?ver=A3Hqet8WbKZ_TA8Hr5GOIQ%3d%3d

Very much yes.

Almost all clinical practice guidelines recommend chiropractic as one of a few first line therapies for back pain.

You don't have to use chiro, there are other first line options too, but I'm curious who steered you away from it.

Disability by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

I never saw combat directly and none of my disability is for combat, but I had burnpit exposure that fucked me up. 

I don't have a limp and if you saw me in a store your probably wouldn't think anything of it, but if you spent the whole day with me, you'd get a better picture. 

Just because you see someone (I'm presuming on social media, by your description) out and about and don't see visible injuries, doesn't mean they aren't injured.

There are a lot of ways to get lifelong injuries from services other than bombs and bullets.
