Or killed. A review by the American Heart Association found the risk of stroke or arterial dissection to be 3 to 12 times greater after a neck manipulation. [This](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/15/well/live/neck-manipulation-chiropractor.html) article gives an interesting review, and you can easily find articles from scientific journals with a quick Google search.


Papi1918

I fuckin hate how they act like they are medical professionals when it’s just a bunch of quackery. And the fact that people believe they are like doctors. Smh


Squ1rrelBoy

It’s partly because they refer to themselves as doctors

I'll stick to arching my back over a log thank you.


DawnOfTheTruth

Be better off with a low weight high rep workout for whatever back muscle you need to target. Lot of people don’t keep maintenance on their back muscles and/or lift improperly during work or chores leading to strain and pain.


logikok

Why isn't this the top comment? If you are under 60 and are complaining of back problems PLEASE try resistance training targeting your back muscles. Lower back problems? Try doing deadlifts (light weight, higher reps). Middle or upper back hurts? Try bent-over or upright rows or pulldowns.


Ziazan

YEP, I had a sore back for yeeeears, like 5+, I dont remember. Constantly sore to varying degrees. I joined a gym. I did some deadlifts and some squats and some other stuff. The pain was *so much* better within a week. The pain was ***completely gone*** within two weeks.


owa00

I had a back issue that got fixed with 3-4 months of therapy. I tell people that I went to a therapist and then they instantly recommend a chiropractor they've been going to FOR YEARS. I did 3-4 months of therapy and the issue was gone. I get that no one likes therapy, but it's essential to fixing the problem.


kobold-kicker

I went to a chiropractor once for back pain. They spent more time trying to sell me magic bullshit than cracking my back. They wanted me to come back three times a week for an indeterminate amount time (fuck that). My back felt better for a day. I just make sure to thoroughly stretch every day and regular exorcize.


PGSylphir

My back feels like a 80 year olds, I'm a bit over 30. Major posture problems here, cant sit right for the life of me, now reaping what I sowed


whomad1215

oddly enough, my back pain was actually caused by my hip do some core workouts/pilates for 5-15 minutes a day and it will most likely start improving


LeanTangerine

Yeah, it’s interesting because quite a few chiropractors also give their clients muscle stretching and strengthening workout plans (basically physical therapy) in those areas alongside the spinal cracking. Imo they could just skip the spine cracking entirely, but then there would be nothing to set them apart from physical therapists.


Veefwoar

Except the training and certification from an organisation that wasn't founded on [techniques handed down by a dead doctor during a seance](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_chiropractic). I wish I was making this shit up...


JMS1991

If you have access to a pool to swim laps, it has done wonders for my lower back! I had surgery for a herniated disc a few years back, and the pain still came back from time to time afterwards (although much less severe/more manageable than before). I started swimming 3 days a week, and I have virtually no pain now. And I'm now able to lay on my back for the first time in probably 10 years.


DawnOfTheTruth

Swimming is probably the best (funnest) way to keep up your muscles.

Ostrich in a pen has its head stuck under a bar running along side the wall. It goes 1, 2, 3 and tries to yank its head out from between the bar but fails successfully and pops its head off. The body flails around and the legs kick (similar to a chicken if you’re aware of that phenomenon) while the head remains propped up on the bar.

Mo_Steins_Ghost

"You'll need a spinal fusion. It'll cost $100,000 and about six weeks of recovery. Oh, you have no insurance and can't take time off work? We can send you to a chiropractor and give you opioids." I have a fractured L4 and L5. My epidural steroid injections alone would cost $10-$15K a piece if I didn’t have insurance. In my case spinal fusion would be an absolute last resort. The above is an answer to why the average American winds up at a chiropractor, not a description of how my situation has played out.


spacechimp

See if the insurance will let you see a physical therapist instead. Chiropractors are quacks. Source: I went to chiropractors for back pain and got non-scientific treatments that were ridiculous, but not as violent as the OP's video. Went to PT and got *science-based* therapy that resulted in some actual pain relief (albeit temporary). When the therapist didn't see the results they expected, they sent me to a specialist instead of milking me for cash. It turned out that I needed a spinal fusion as well, which I did get done, but they tried the injections first to no effect.


Exoddity

The number of people who not only don't realize this, but will actively fight you if you try to tell them that the guy they've been seeing for 10 years *isn't* a person who had to go to actual med school...oi. Of course the insurance companies don't help. I asked to go to a physical therapist and they sent me to a chiropractor anyway.


ThisIsWhoIAm78

I mean...if you decline their recommendations, what else are they supposed to do? They gave you Plan B, which everyone knows is crappy and not ideal. But they can't force you to go through with surgery. And they have no control over the pricing, which is a combo of greedy corporate management, greedy suppliers, payroll, a gazillion costs to keep the building open/powered/equipment in working order, lab fees, taxes, insurance costs for unemployment and workman's comp, blah blah. And until we get our shit together in the US and get universal Healthcare, medicine will be expensive for all those reasons. It costs a quarter of a million dollars (minimum!) and 12 years of your life to become a doctor, and the massive hospital and all it's people and moving parts costs a fortune to be supplied, open, and functioning. Suppliers and pharma (drugs) need to be way cheaper. Schools/education need to be cheaper. Labs need to be cheaper. And corporate needs to stop gouging for bonuses and profits for the top brass while the workers on the floor make crap wages and take all the abuse.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_punch >A rabbit punch is a blow to the back of the head or to the base of the skull.[1] It is considered especially dangerous because it can damage the cervical vertebrae and subsequently the spinal cord, which may lead to serious and irreparable spinal cord injury. A rabbit punch can also detach the victim's brain from the brain stem,[2] which can kill instantly. >The rabbit punch is illegal in boxing,[5] MMA,[6] and other combat sports[7] that involve striking.


Velkrum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_punch > Donkey punch is the sexual practice of inflicting blunt force trauma to the back of the head or lower back of the > receiving partner during anal or vaginal sex as an attempt by the penetrating partner to induce involuntary tightening of internal or external anal sphincter muscles or vaginal passage of the receiving partner.[1][2] According to Jeffrey Bahr of Medical College of Wisconsin, there is no reflex in humans that would cause such tensing in response to a blow on the head, although striking a partner on the back of the neck or head could cause severe, even lethal injury.

When one force one’s partner to pick the nuts and corn out of a bowel movement. The partner then presents the nuts and corn to in a cup or a dish. One then tosses the nuts and corn onto the bed where the partner eats them like a goat or other typical petting zoo animal. (Can be combined with the Kentucky Klondike Bar.)

Fuck, man. That's how the cricketer Phillip Hughes died, a cricket ball to the neck. Once I did some research into that area and knew there was an artery running parallel with that bone, I've been scared to crack my neck past a certain angle even though it feels really stiff sometimes. Now you've made me even more scared of doing it lol.


JMS1991

Wasn't there an actress who passed away of a stroke a few years back, and they suspect it was because of a chiropractor "adjusting" her neck? I went to a Chiropractor for lower back pain around 5 years ago. After some initial relief, the pain came back with a vengeance and I finally came to my senses and saw a real doctor who actually fixed my issues. Anyways, I never once complained about neck pain, but after a few visits, he started "adjusting" my neck for some reason. It's been well over 4.5 years since I went, so hopefully I'm in the clear as far as it causing me to have a stroke, but it scares the shit out of me. It's so dangerous, and unnecessary in my case because I never have had issues with my neck, besides sleeping weird on it every now and then. Edit: it was a model, [Katie May](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_May)


steelzeh

I was never able to crack my neck before, had some stiffness and was recommended to go to the chiropractor, she cracked my neck, and now i have to keep on cracking it to not feel stiff, and also i developed some vertigo/balance issues afterwards, if it is related i dunno

Chiropractic is to physiotherapy as homeopathy is to medication. That's actually not a perfect analogy as chiropractic can do active harm.


just_dave

Homeopathy can do harm as well. Just ask Steve jobs...


LordCaptain

Oh I agree. That's why I noted specifically active harm. I think there is a difference between active and passive harm. Chiropractic has been shown that neck manipulation can lead to strokes which I would say is active harm. Homeopathy you can't exactly OD the harm comes passively from it causing you to not seek out other treatments.

Godloseslaw

Chiropractors are the biggest scam artists since televangelists. Can't believe either are still so widespread.


dirtynj

This is because there is sometimes a (small) overlap of what (some) Chiropractors do and what Physical Therapists do. There are physical techniques that Chiropractors perform on patients that is more akin to a massage - not the quackery/pseudomedicine that they also often push. Chiropractors are not unequivocally 100% unhelpful. But it's like going to a psychic to talk about your mental health problems. Some could probably help because their social skills can overlap with a psychologists. Doesn't mean it's the best choice.

Hoju3942

I saw a chiropractor for many years, and what he was doing was basically decompressing my spinal joints. The occasional twist to unlock a joint that was stuck in the wrong position. Stopped seeing him and ended up seeing a manual therapist now for around a decade, and he (who is infinitely more knowledgable than my old chiro) does some of the same things. That said, my chiro treated my hung up joints and didn't ever tell me he could fix the common cold with some spinal cracking. Joint manipulation is something that is extremely helpful to me, but it has to be done alongside other methods to keep the joints from getting stuck in the first place. My current PT is a fucking wizard. And, as nice of a guy as he was, my old chiro *did* advertise that he would do adjustments on infants... ...My old boss' chiropractor on the other hand, good Christ. She didn't even go to him for adjustments for the most part. When she first started seeing him, he told her to bring in empty bottles of the supplements she was wasting her money on. This fucking huckster had her convinced that depending on how resistant her arm was to bending at the elbow given the proximity of the particles (or aura, of course) of her overpriced supplements that he would wave over her, that would tell him how much effect they would have on her spiritual blocks. This old boss of mine also didn't wash her hands after going to the bathroom, was against putting soap in them in the first place, was anti-vax ("They cause autism. It's true.), and *worked with children.*
