  1. Flu shot makes you sick

    That's called a nocebo effect. It's similar to a placebo effect, except with negative outcomes rather than a positive one. For example, when your doctor shows you your x-ray and tells you everything wrong with it, you're likely to feel more pain. That's a nocebo effect.
  2. Flu shot makes you sick

    I don't remember raging about vaccines. The pharmaceutical industry, yeah, but not vaccines. If I did, then I was wrong and know better now.
  3. Flu shot makes you sick

    So, this is false. The flu shot doesn't make you sick or unwell. It can, however, produce an immune response which makes you feel under the weather for a couple days. But that's different than being sick or in a state of unwellness.
  4. Joe Rogan Experiece with Ben Shapiro

    Personally, I think Ben Shapiro is a disingenuous dude who's smart enough to phrase things in ways which could make sense to people who don't know better, and chooses to argue things that are too challenging to disprove or argue against in a concise way. His appeal, I think, is that he's a...
  5. Poll: Do you trust Trump if he meets with Putin alone? No staff or official record.

    LOL I'd sooner trust the tap water from Flint, MI. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk
  6. Bulging Disc

    Static stretching, generally speaking, does nothing to actually help improve quality of movement and flexibility long-term. It does help for the short-term, but the muscles will slowly start going back to the way they were. So, overall, at the end of the day, it does nothing. As for doing...
  7. Bulging Disc

    Silly to order x-rays for something you can't see on x-ray LOL It's actually silly to order imaging at all if you already know what's wrong via symptomatology and exam findings. It's not going to change the course of treatment, which will most likely be distraction, neutralizing pelvic tilt...
  8. Buying new mattress

    Get a Purple. It's the best mattress I've ever laid on, and I've tested out LOTS of different mattresses. Trust.
  9. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    I came across this today. I thought it may be of interest to the conversation. http://journals.lww.com/spinejournal/Abstract/publishahead/The_prevalence,_patterns,_and_predictors_of.95563.aspx
  10. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    The Canadian national board exams to have the chance to practice in Canada WAY more challenging than the American national board exams. I never took it, but I know about it based on having Canadian classmates who were studying for it and seeing the things that they had to memorize for the tests...
  11. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    Accidental post. Can't delete from my phone, I guess.
  12. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    Sounds like a place she should avoid. Sounds like a bullshit place.
  13. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    I'm not wasting a ton of time trying to prove anything to you. I'll touch on a few things though, real quick. I have no idea what the hell you're talking about with a "light chair" or the "magnets" thing. I was one of the official chiropractors of the Washington Redskins cheerleaders between...
  14. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    I included a link that helps you know what to look for in a chiropractor. Also, as I mentioned before, many chiropractors and DPTs are blurring lines between the two professions because we see value in each other's services. Eventually, they'll virtually be the same, kinda like how MDs and DOs...
  15. Disk replacement?

    Don't get a spinal fusion. Get a disc replacement, 100%, if necessary. It could, also be possible, however, that correcting your biomechanics and anterior pelvic tilt and working on core strengthening to stabilize the lumbosacral region would be very helpful in relieving your symptoms. There's...
  16. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    "... knew it was snake oil" It's not. However, many chiropractors are snake oil salesmen. Have you read how osteopathy started? Or how the medical profession started? You'd be blown away by that nonsense, too. So, don't sell the profession short simply because of how it started. Judge the...
  17. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    Define "expensive"... It should be a copay. So, whatever your specialist copay is is what it costs, unless you haven't met your insurance deductible.
  18. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    First link: Good article. Second link: I agree with all of these except for #12 and #15. Third link: I appreciate you posting this. More people should read those, I think. Here's another good one I came across a while back that I shared to my patients and friends...
  19. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    The plague is slowly dying off, thankfully.
  20. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    A lot of chiropractors do the same thing, man. Not all, not even most, but a lot. Just like DPTs, actually. Most DPTs aren't much better than a regular PT. Nowadays, many chiropractors and DPTs are indistinguishable from each other because we all share similar techniques. The main differences...
  21. Anyone have spinal fusion surgery done?

    Hehe I'm not sure if you know what I actually do for a living ;) I'm glad you're feeling much better and incorporating better stability and motor control in your daily movement patterns :) The better you move, the longer you live.
  22. Anyone have spinal fusion surgery done?

    Mercola isn't exactly a great source for reliable information, but I'm glad that you're doing things to keep your back healthy and pain-free :)
  23. Anyone have spinal fusion surgery done?

    Obviously, a cervical fracture causing instability and risk to the spinal cord is a completely different issue. Also, the logical inference can be made that if fusions cause more damage in the long run, due to the tons of evidence, that young people should not have a fusion, if possible, and...
  24. Median pay for Chiropractors is only $66k?!

    Uh... no? I already publicly addressed this issue. LOL and I thought *I* was the one who's been gone for a while ;)
  25. Anyone have spinal fusion surgery done?

    The bottom line is that if you destabilize areas that are designed for stability, then you increase the amount of dysfunctional mobility in those areas, most commonly lower cervical and lower lumbar regions. When that happens, you increase the wear and tear in those areas, which translates to...
  26. Anyone have spinal fusion surgery done?

    I mentioned pain management, which is usually a physiatrist. Acupuncture can help with certain pain issues, but not if faulty movement is the main cause of the problem. Acupuncture isn't magic. It helps decrease pain by releasing natural opioids in the brain and by helping release myofascial...
  27. Anyone have spinal fusion surgery done?

    It isn't bad medical advice whatsoever. It's what the NEMJ, BMJ, and other credible sources outlined, unless you're considering them to be sources of bad medical advice. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/04/upshot/the-right-to-know-that-an-operation-is-next-to-useless.html?mabReward=CTM...

    http://www.cureus.com/articles/4155-systematic-review-and-meta-analysis-of-chiropractic-care-and-cervical-artery-dissection-no-evidence-for-causation I'll leave this here, too. This is a peer-reviewed analysis of the risk between cervical manipulations done by a chiropractor and the risk of a...
  29. Anyone have spinal fusion surgery done?

    Homerboy, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I'd be more than happy to help guide you in the right direction and try and find recommendations for you in your area.
  30. Anyone have spinal fusion surgery done?

    Don't get a fusion. All the newer research coming out is advising against using fusions anymore because of the same thing chiropractors and doctors of physical therapy have been saying all along; they destroy biomechanical movement and increase degeneration in adjacent areas, which will require...
  31. March 28th ATOT Birthdays!

    Thank you much :) I'm all late LOL
  32. ***Official Fantasy Football Thread***

    YAAAAY! I won the championship game in one of the ATOT leagues :D I'm also in the championship in my ESPN money league. Fingers crossed. I think I might lose. The guy I'm going against has a stout team with great match-ups next week.
  33. ***Official Fantasy Football Thread***

    I thought about trading him, but it's a keeper league. So, I won't. I got Sammie Coates as insurance. It's also PPR, so there's that, too. I'm hoping I can sustain the blow and end up on top. With Brady out for the first four games, my team is currently 2-4. Fingers crossed.
  34. ***Official Fantasy Football Thread***

    Just accepted a trade: I trade away: Eli Manning DeSean Jackson I get: Blake Bortles Brandon Marshall I need neither of them as a starter for their position, but I wanted Bortles for my OP slot. So, my team (14-team league) currently is: QB Tom Brady, NE QB RB Spencer Ware, KC RB RB LeSean...

    Never liked him. I hated the pick for Jay Gruden as head coach. I thought we should have kept Shanahan. Of the names available, I wanted Todd Bowles. I hated that we passed up the opportunity get Wade Phillips as our defensive coordinator... especially for Joe Barry. Last year, I offered a...
  36. ***Official Fantasy Football Thread***

    I fucking hate Jay Gruden. He's the absolute worst. I know that his name wasn't even brought up, but I feel like it was necessary to vocalize in writing how much he fucking sucks and how overrated he was before getting the job. MOTHERFUCK Jay Gruden.
  37. ***Official Fantasy Football Thread***

    Gotta go with the Browns QB, then. He might have something that defenses haven't seen film on and he might be there for longer than Hoyer.
  38. ***Official Fantasy Football Thread***

    I'd rather have Sanders and I'd rather have Watkins.
  39. ***Official Fantasy Football Thread***

    Russell Wilson. He doesn't get warmed up until around Week 7.
