It baffles me that anytime anyone simply tells the factual historical events that led to the foundation of chiropractic, people get offended and militant. These people seriously behave like cultists. If you feel that this is a "hit piece" and all it contains are historical accounts, maybe you should examine why facts about chiropractic feel negative. And your anecdotes about people feeling better don't change the fact that it is based on an idea which came from a "hunch" from a very unscientific person, at a time when medical science was severely lacking. And if you want to cite opioids as evidence that "adjustments" are a safer route. That's like saying that playing with matches while soaked in gasoline is safe because taking a bath with a toaster is dangerous. It's completely nonsensical. Stop getting upset with people for giving true accounts of history. If you're a believer of chiropractic, you have to own those facts. Being offended and naming other things that are bad doesn't change the facts.
I don't know if you ever have post concussion syndrome or migraines I would look into upper cervical chiropractic it's legit it saved my bacon. The atlas bone in your neck basically holds up your entire head and weighs only two ounces and if it gets knocked out of place you can have all kinds of neurological issues because the entire central nervous system runs right down the middle of it.
While there are contemporary chiropractors who have abandoned much of the pseudoscience and are essentially specialists in MSK care of the back and spine, many still practice as if it's the early 1900s. The big issue is the lack of proper regulation. Like all health professions, chiropractors are self-regulated in each province. Unfortunately, the regulatory bodies have become a battleground for professional philosophies, failing to serve their purpose in protecting the public.
I am not a proponent of chiropractery but the real origin is there used to (and still is in many parts of the world) a folk medical practice of "bone setting". Medical science back then was no more advanced than chiropractery and classical medical doctors, surgeons, barbers, bone setters and herbal healers all were around and were considered different medical disciplines. You can imagine the need for a bone setter in your village if you dislocated a shoulder or broke a bone where no doctors were around. Chiropractery absolutely came from the very ancient bone setting traditon with a modernizing twist. I disovow it cures anything and it is more of a pain relief like masage therapy. I don't go to a chriopracter but I get tension right between my shoulder blades and stretching and cracking my back makes me feel better after.
There are so many things wrong with this I don’t know where to begin. If you’ve never been to a chiropractor you owe it to yourself to go to one and see what you’re missing out on. I can’t tell you how many patients a week I hear say they wish they had come in sooner or had chiropractic care earlier in their life.
Placedo crap. Pass the MCAT, Go to medical school, a residency, and a fellowship to become a real medical doctor. Then, compose a study that shows chiropractic adjustments cure/treat some ailment better than placebo. With all the positive feedback you're getting, it sounds like it shouldn't be hard at all. But you'll never do that because you can't. Because chiropractic is NOT a better treatment than placebo.
Where did DD Palmer say he got the idea about chiropractic during a seance? I know he mentions the said doctor, and he also met with him (when he allegedly healed his wife), but does he anywhere say that the principles of chiro was revealed during a spiritualistic encounter? (no worries, I'm not into defending or promoting chiropractic, but this video seems biased and misguiding... But I'd like to learn more - if you can guide me to the sources? )
A very gentle chiropractic treatment helped my granddaughter at age 6 months. The change was immediate. She was much more alert. Before that, I was concerned that she seemed foggy or "slow". The light came on. She is very bright.
@@Slimdawgc birth is a huge traumatic experience and the process night cause a vertebrae to become misaligned. But continue to believe what you want. Giving children mood altering drugs or changing their birth sex is child abuse.
Doctor actually means teacher in latin...DD may have been weird but I bet he could teach any of todays medical doctors more about the anatomy of the body than the professors at Med schools today. Why learn about the body when there is a pill for every ill.
Brian Bentley All professions had their beginnings. When Palmer was creating his new “religion”, medical schools and medical training were in existence.
@@jamescallahan8669 if you have a problem with religion in healthcare look no further than Vaccinology and the Rockefellers introduction of their school funded medical curriculum and the brainwashing of doctors to thinking that medicine heals all and not the body. If Chiropractic is a religion then Western Medicine is a cult.
He did, this isn’t a conspiracy. Chiropractic therapy is practiced only in Canada and the US, it’s one of those things you see when you travel abroad and think, “that’s a bunch of snake oil” people come here and laugh at it, I figure he thought, it feels good to crack my back, I’m going to do that to people and charge them.
Accounts from other witness on the scene seems to recute that he was ran over abdvthe courts agreed. Irionically his death probably has more to due with his doctor treating his typhoid fever with the treatments palmer invented
A classic story of infighting in the Chiropractic Profession. Members of a competing college made the story up. A court trial was ordered and BJ was exonerated. The fact that DD Palmer soon after traveled all the way back to Los Angeles, California and contracted Typhoid Fever certainly favored BJ Palmer’s innocence. DD Palmer’s official death certificate signed by a Medical Examiner, half way across the country pretty much cleared up the confusion. Ironically, DD Palmer, Chiropractic’s first and most notable antivaxxer, died of a vaccine preventable disease at the time of his death. Whoops.
Wow, must be a slow news day when you run a hit piece on chiropractor’s🤔 Why would you go to someone who can fix your back pain when you can go to your doctor and get pills to mask the pain? I’ll take my chances with a chiropractor thank you!
@@stza16 mine does and helps me avoid the drugs MDs rely upon. The first doctors were blood letters, and quacks. Many still are. Your nerves control your whole body, and any interference could cause side affects.
The historian mocks “Animal Chiropractic” like my Dog that had No Neck Surgery, Today, there’s 2 Veterinarian Colleges that offer an Animal Chiropractic Course on the East Coast. The review of D.D. complains that he wasn’t “Religious and prayed to No God” and spoke in grammar of the 19th century also spoken by Medicine in the same grand manner regarding Chiropractic as a cure all for bacterial diseases. The Historian uses verbs like “Crack and Pop” which is supposed to be of benefit and as a retired Chiropractor, I had my AIDS patients take T Cell Blood Counts after a series of free Adjustments and many Patients T Cell Counts DOUBLED. I have their written testimony. I have 4 levels of destroyed Lumbar Disks and like most of my patients, I never had surgery and I’m mostly pain free like my Dog. Don’t let this guy trash a profession that’s only grown because of grateful patients and by medical referral to chiropractic instead of mis prescribing Heroin for Ambulatory Back Pain which has destroyed the lives of millions of Americans. Cheers❤
Doc, you are retired. The post covid attack is full blown. I defend the best I can, but the AMA smear is too deeply embedded. They have to keep those customers. It breaks my heart. 😢
Most chiropractors I met were actual real medics, doctors. Maybe becouse we dont have shamans in my region :) They are very efficient in helping for pains connected to bones and muscles. The one I know helped me 2 or 3 times with correcting smt in my neck so I returned home without any pain in neck. And of course he is also orthopedist or surgeon from local hospital. As most of them here is. And dont forget that most religions believe in this or that kind of ghosts :) And that there is smt like freedom of religion. So I dont care in what religion my doctor believes as long as this doc is efficient in helping people :)
my stepmother is a chiropractor and refers to herself as a doctor, yet does not even have a bachelor's degree. She also believes in chakras and what not....
@@XMontgomery0 Many yearas ago in 80s my dad got some problem with his leg. He could not move it. One day my parents were returning from visiting family and my dad was driver. He got this problems with leg and could not drive. And mom sitting beside had to helped him by stepping on gas pedal all the time. Such way they arrived to nearest medical point near our house. Dad got many tests for another days and the medics says that he has to have many medicines but even then he will be sitting on a wheelchair soon. But one of my parents friends send them to chiropractor. And thats why my dad does not sit on wheelchair now, but is driving car and walking normalny and riding a bike even though he is now 83 years old. :) Thats why for me all this smearing of chiropractors is just American corpo- pharmacy BS.
@@TallisKeeton Holistic/chiropractic medicine is bunk. I hate big pharma but if you're thinking of doing something that doesn't make sense, it's better not go there. It's only based on wishful thinking that can work at times but can have detrimental effects as well. My stepmother used to adjust me as a kid and it didn't do a damn thing. She also told my mother that she has a problem with her back even though her back is straight, strong, and flexible (but there was a problem somewhere, hmmmm) Ironically, her own daughter(who has been to numerous chiropractors) has scoliosis and well she still has it.
They can't cure scoliosis. Not sure where you got that info. Any hyper curvatures of the spine they can treate not cure it. Big difference.@@XMontgomery0
Ah yes, because Ancient Egypt was the PINNACLE of effective and painless treatment of medical ailments and conditions, you make such a fantastic point, Luis.
This is the truth… chiropractic therapy is practiced mostly in Canada, the USA adopted it, and it’s very rare anywhere else. It’s a snake oil treatment.
Sorry, hit a wrong key... More people go to Chiropractors in the US than Canada. DD moved to the US and lived other places before he moved to Davenport, IA. Davenport is where modern Chiropractic started and was practiced in the US before it became a medical practice in Canada.
@@jasonbolding3481 the origin story this channel has provided has several false facts. If you want more research go look it up, I suggest using the Palmer Archives website. Also, look up research on subluxations and adjustments, not just an explanation from a voice-over channel on youtube. You could call your local chiropractic office or the Palmer College campus if you were really interested in learning more about the profession!
@@jasonbolding3481 i’m literally not going to be your teacher, way too busy for you. i stick with my original comments along with encouraging you to do you own research to form your own opinion. if you truly cared about the topic you would have said thank you for the resources and been on your way. instead here you are, twiddling your thumbs expecting others to do the work for you. i actually encourage learning, and just like a teacher on a test i will not give you a thought out explanation on this topic unless you have prior knowledge of what i’m talking about. i will be more specific once i can tell that you are capable of talking about a topic and not just trying to judge a profession you know nothing about. my attitude will change once you prove to me a genuine interest in this topic. i love educating people, but ONLY if they are genuine and want to learn. you sir are clearly a troll trying to suck me in. nope. unless you want to start with genuine conversation i will not be educating you.
@@jasonbolding3481 i’m trying to encourage you to do your own research!! this is so important for americans today to get the facts instead of just going by what others say on the internet. get educated!!
Great. Just another "practice" satan deceived man into for people to take their eyes off of Jesus Christ who is our only true healer. Isaiah 53:5! 1 Peter 2:24!
Wow are you going to discredit Conventional Medicine because medical doctors used to think bloodletting was a thing? And the list could go on! Silly reportage that does little for science or journalism. I would expect this kind of journalism to be in a less creditable rag. Maybe they're hiring at the National Inquirer? You have the gift! You must have done very poorly in philosophy or maybe you skipped that elective. Poor reasoning!
