Chiropractic

If anyone wants a load of youtube videos to look through o this subject, search for "Dr. Rahim Chiropractic" and those videos might be of interest to folk here. No doubt there are others too.

Since there are no D.O.'s trained in Osteopathic Manipulation up where I live, I had no choice really but to go to a chiropractic. The techniques are close are very close to the aforementioned and and train of thought. The father of D.O.'s and osteopathy and osteopathic medicine along with the use of manipulation.

He also is responsible for starting Baker University and another one now called A.T. Still University, Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine of which teaches D.O. and the specialty of manipulation.

Personally, I don't buy some of the stuff that chiropractors purport these days as I think some of it is money making gimmick.

If they didn't tell you they can fix EVERYTHING that's wrong with you they might not look so much like snake oil salesmen.

They have certainly worked for me though.

Had a shoulder injury once that would require some time consuming albeit necessary physical therapy. I decided to attend a few sessions of chiropractic care which did absolutely nothing for me other than waste my time and money. From my personal experience I now perceive chiropractic medicine to be a profession of utter quackery. A 21st century renaissance of an old timey traveling medicine show fronted by conniving snake oil salesmen.

After having lunch with a D.O., I mentioned that I had a bad nights sleep and felt achy. He told me when we got back to his office he'd give me an O.M.T (osteopathic manipulative therapy) free. I didn't remove any clothes and he adjusted me on a table. I felt like I'd had a wonderful nights sleep. He said that M.D.'s don't get his kind of training and it was great. I didn't have to return for further treatments. I'd go to D.O.'s rather than chiropractors any day.

I saw a chiropractor one time while traveling and he had me gown up take everything off but panties I felt so weird because home chiropractor never had me remove clothing. He moved my legs in ways i know what he was try to see but i didnt wear thongs so he saw nothing. He did unfortunately pull panties down and rub tail bone as well it hurt and his thumb actually went into rectum I turned him in it was totally uncalled for.

But ALL Chiropractors arent like this I have one I go to and he is wonderful I have scoliosis and osteo-arthritis so he keeps me mobile and as pain free as I can be fully clothed.

He should have been reported. That was plainly abuse. He should lose his job.

Not using any lube would definitely be abuse! 😁

He lost his license

HHHMMMMMMMM, these stories are the reason I have never been to a chiropractor nor would I ever recommend anyone else go to any of them. Need adjustments 3 times a week for a month? 13 adjustments at how much an adjustment? And I do not think any health insurance company pay for anything from a chiropractor so it is all money out of your pocket. Dam just go for a massage. They are not medical doctors. I am in the medical field and I call chiropractors licensed quacks who can give massages and try to make you feel better.

Chiropractors advertise that medicare and insurance cover them. It's limited. Medicare only covers sublaxations (manipulations for pain relief). They don't cover the spinal manipulations for kidney disease or any of the other so called disease preventions chiropractics claim the can resolve. Chiropractors claim every thing revolves around the spine, sickness, disease etc. and they can prevent it by spinal manipulation. So they bill the insurance as a subluxation vs what they are really telling the patient. The Palmer Institue for Chiropractic medicine has a 100% acceptance rate for a $36000/yr tuition. Look what you are paying for when you go to see one.

Chiropractic used to be covered here by Ontario's universal health care but they delisted it when they delisted optometry for most people and physiotherapy. It doesn't mean that it's not legit just like delisting physio and eye care doesn't mean those aren't legit.

Chiropractic can be covered on my insurance. I have only gone once in my life because my lower pain was killing me. The guy took xrays then did an adjustment. It was brutal with cracking sounds being made as he twisted and turned me. I did feel better though. This was 20 years ago and my back has been bothering me for awhile again. I might just try it before I go for a massage.

She said that after they talked about her history and the kinds of problems she'd been having with her back, he asked her to strip down to her bra and panties. She did, even though she'd never been asked to do that by other chiropractors. He looked over her body and asked her to lay on her back on the exam table. He then held one of her ankles and lifted her leg up to see how far it would bend towards her stomach. He didn't think it went far enough and recommended stretching exercises. He then put the leg down, but at a far angle. He then repeated this with her other leg but her public area was now plainly visible, and she said that much to her embarrassment he stared at it the whole time he tested her second leg. She likes to wear these tight, pink panties and was sure that it was pulled tight over her labia, but couldn't see from her angle. He then asked her to roll over onto her back, and started pressing into different back muscles. After massaging her back up and down her spine, he then unclasped her bra and set the straps aside, telling her he needed to get at her entire back unhindered. He then massaged all down her spine towards her ass and as he got there, he pulled her panties down halfway over her cheeks and, with his thumbs, he massaged her tailbone. With each circular rub of his thumbs, she was sure he was separating her cheeks. She felt violated by the whole exam, even as the doctor put her bra and panties back into place, telling her that she'll need to come in three times a week for a month for similar adjustments

I had very similar experiences at the Chiropractor I went to , as I was younger. He was stretching my hips and legs like that, using one hand on the leg to stretch it out, but the other hand was often resting on my panties. This caused me a lot of embarrassment , since I could feel my body reacting to that, and I was shamed he could maybe see that also.
