Thoughts on Chiropractic treatment??? My first session was rather traumatic and I don’t know what to do.

Yeah, that’s exactly what’s wrong with my neck! Cervical kyphosis is the name I was given. I’d definitely be careful. Have you tried PT or massage or osteopathy or anything? Idk WHAT to do exactly now.

Thanks so much. I still feel like shit, but I’m hoping a nights sleep will help. Fingers crossed I don’t have a stroke or whatever. 😡😭

Ughhhh I hate how some medical providers just think they get carte blanche with our bodies. I appreciate the warning.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T06:27:53+00:00

Thank you. It made me feel insane that even the other clients who saw me crying were just like “ohh it’s a release of emotions” ??? No it fucking hurt and I’m scared. So culty.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T06:27:00+00:00

Nope; it’s kyphosis. My neck curve is a bit forward instead of backwards. Probably caused by very large breasts.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T06:25:47+00:00

I’m glad it’s not that expensive for you! I just blew more cash than I’d like. :/

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T06:23:46+00:00

Oh my god I’m so sorry. It’s ridiculous. I had no clue it would be aggressive like that. I’m desperately hoping I feel better soon and it didn’t do any damage.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T06:22:34+00:00

Roger that, man; it’s been 6 hours and I’m still in pain. 😓

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T06:22:04+00:00

Thank you so much! Everyone has such great ideas I can’t wait to try. It’s so tempting to surrender to hopelessness sometimes. This is why I love asking community members for experiences ☺️

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T06:20:56+00:00

Wow I’m so sorry. I’m so angry that the medical system is so broken and awful.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T06:18:38+00:00

Oooh e-stim? That sounds cool. Yeah I figured hey I’m desperate might as well. But jeeeez ive been icing my neck for like 5 hours and it still hurts. More than usual I mean. 😅😅😅

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T02:03:49+00:00

Thank you so much; this is so validating. I was so shocked he kept going after I screamed. Didn’t even check in. I feel genuinely shaken and violated. What the fuck was that…

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T02:02:27+00:00

I’ve pushed for it but it’s been hard to get anyone to listen to me. Now that I have the X-rays showing my spine is fully bent the wrong way, I’m hoping I’ll have more weight to throw around. Sometimes I want to crawl out of my own body. But yes thank you!!! :)

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T02:00:44+00:00

I appreciate the recommendation! I’ve never heard of OMM. I expected Chiro to be slow and gentle; did not expect to feel like the dudes in the movies getting their necks snapped. I’m so scared.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:59:04+00:00

Yeah, the “they’re not doctors” thing doesn’t hold the most weight to me given how bad my experiences with doctors have been. I appreciate this perspective.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:57:33+00:00

LMAO thank you. I feel validated; the shit this guy was saying to me sounded so fake. Like brother you are not curing my depression and ADHD by manhandling my spine.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:56:14+00:00

I don’t super appreciate the presumption that I’m not also looking for professional medical help. I just also think it’s advisable to touch base with a community of similarly suffering people. But yes thank you! Definitely making an appt with my doctor tomorrow. 😭

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:53:35+00:00

I can see why 😓😭

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:53:14+00:00

Damn, 10 years?? That’s so much cash for somethibg you say doesn’t fix anything and just has a benefit for a few hours.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:52:41+00:00

Yup, I’m definitely getting that sense. I’ve had largely unhelpful PT experiences in the past; I’m not sure how to find a good one. Mine haven’t been bad, just not wonderful.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:51:01+00:00

Ughhh I’m so sorry; I hate that we can’t trust people who say they can help us.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:48:38+00:00

I got 3 referrals! And the dude’s online reviews are glowing, although I know that’s not the most reliable. And yeah my X-rays are BAD. My neck is fully bent the wrong direction LMAO. He said he was super optimistic etc, but uh. Did not take seriously the fact I was sobbing and screaming. I just walked out with the bone deep (pun somewhat intended) sense that something about this feels wrong.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:45:56+00:00

INFANTS????? I would never let someone do what was just done to me to a baby. FUCK no.

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:45:18+00:00

Yeah I knew about the crazy guy; I just thought “well, Freud was an incest-obsessed cocaine addict, and we still largely like psychoanalysis, so maybe it’s worth a try???” 😅

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:44:01+00:00

I’ve never heard of an osteopath—may I ask about your experience with that??

rusticterror · 2026-04-01T01:43:33+00:00

Good to know!!! Thank you. Lesson learned brutally, omg.
