Everything else is bullshit. Yeah I heard this the other day on a podcast and I was shocked. I've never needed a chiropractor so have never looked into it seriously, or know anything about what they do. I just always thought it was a legitimate medical field. Every day's a school day.

BillyShears Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 People who tell me: "I haven't slept for a week", or; I haven't eaten or drunk anything for a week". Is that right sir?, you really are superhuman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She fixed a 17 year old problem with my back seemingly within a few weeks. (this meant I could not pick up my Granddaughter which I can now). + I had a reflex in my back that had failed to stop once I started to crawl (45 years ago), it is a rare thing apparantley, she also turned this reflex off which causes back spasms in adults. My life has improved considerably + shes English and fit and around the corner so to speak+ my health insurance pay for it. So not all bad.

Tegis Posted April 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2018 I also have one issue that is fixable by that lot. One visit a year usually keeps it in check, lower back spasms. And she is fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2018 I've had a busy week at work, and I've been ill. Had to get up early today for an appointment in town so now that I'm back I just want to do nothing all weekend. But because the sun is out I'm treated like a weirdo by the whole country "Oh you can't waste a day like this!" "Go for a walk instead!" "How can you stay inside when it's this sunny?" **** off. I'm knackered, I'm still not 100% well. I just want to veg out and do **** all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they aren't ethically allowed to prescribe placebos. I believe the treatment helps you. I don't believe it helps more than paying a stranger to rub you a bit and to spout some medical sounding nonsense at you. If it did, your doctor would refer you to someone with a qualification that didn't come from the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got **** soaked. And now just been to the supermarket. Which is full of **** mongs. Nice relaxing day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
