Nothing sets my brain going in dizzying circles of doubt quite like chiropractic.

There's something about how any treatment that has strong associations with being a "Miracle cure" automatically makes me wary, and yet many people do find instant relief after treatment. Three out of my own four appointments fell under the "instant relief" category, actually!

But also, most of the patients mum sees in her job as a receptionist for a chiropractor keep going back, week after week, some of them for years. They swear that it has changed their life, but... They're still going. They still need the adjustments. So then I have to wonder, is it the instant solution it's often touted as, or is it more accurately an ongoing treatment similar to HRT/antidepressants/antipsychotics/migraine prevention meds, etc.?

It certainly makes me uncomfortable that the chiropractor has never told me how to manage a problem on my own. The adjustments he's done to my hips made an instant improvement, but I had to ask him what i could do to strengthen the muscle myself, and he seemed genuinely surprised that I'd done so. Maybe I'm just used to physiotherapy. Maybe it's wrong of me to expect that kind of treatment from chiropractic. Maybe that was just that specific chiropractor's way, and others do things differently.

The fourth time I went, I'd woken up in horrendous pain from my right shoulder. I couldn't move that arm, or my neck. At that point, there is very very little that ""official"" (i.e., NHS) services can do. My course of action has always been to wait for the worst of the flare to pass, take painkillers, carefully do my physiotherapy exercises, and examine my environment/most recent activities to see what might've set it off. And then in a few days or weeks, the pain recedes and I get full range of motion back.

But this time, I accepted mum's suggestion for an appointment with the chiropractor. He kindly squeezed me in in his last slot before lunch. He talked to me, he was attentive and accepting, and he worked with me to find out the source of the problem. His answer was acupuncture, which, okay... I'd never had it before, but I'd white-knuckled the car journey there, so I may as well. And it worked! Or at least, it relaxed me enough that my muscles were no longer in spasm. I felt like I'd turned to water, actually. It was pretty nice.

Then he did the standard adjustment.

It was instant relief – until we were partway home and i realised that the pain had just moved to a different place. I don't know if he made the problem worse; the pain was different, but it also eased off in the usual week and there were no lasting side-effects. I got back into my physio routine. I reconfigured my desk. I haven't been back to the chiropractor since.

All this is on my mind because my shoulder pain is in a flare up again. I've had flares since that fourth chiropractor visit and I've always got though them, but this one is very bad. I keep seriously considering booking an appointment, then pulling myself back. It might be an answer. It might just create more problems. I don't know.

#I have a lot of feelings about the ethics of chiropractic and the way it's discussed #And a lot of serious reservations abut it but also I have access to a wealth of anecdotal evidence for it's success #I've been puzzling back and forth over this for MONTHS and still can't work out how I deel #Don't like that.

its funny how, as a child of two chiropractors, my first thought upon throwing out my back is not to go pay someone for an adjustment that wouldn't actually help anything but line a chiro's pockets, but to do meaningful exercises and stretches to soothe whatever lumbar muscles got pissy yesterday. I could barely stand yesterday, but after doing what you should, I'm already 60% better today.

#jacq life #i have so many opinions on chiro as an adult #my life was chiropractic growing up #i went to college with my single mom as a kid #i was always in her office when she got one #i even worked for her and my dad for free at several points #now? as an adult? just go see a physical therapist or an appropriate physician #chiro cant offer much beyond temporary relief unless they are a rare breed of chiro who also does p.t. #it doesnt benefit them for you to get actually better and manage your own pain #they bank on you come back week after week for that temporary relief #on top of that most chiros are right wing anti-medicine anti-vax weirdos. aka my mom #anyways

So I’ve been writing and like… this is so fun. I forgot how good it can be to just write. I don’t know the last time I just did it for fun…

That being said, yes I guess I am actually writing the willex Sunset Curve Chiropractic au.

#I have a document titled SCCAU with almost 7k words in it so I feel like that makes it official #I have no clue how long this is gonna be but I have a few random scenes written (and like 2 full chapters are fleshed out) #and there are a lot of random notes and tidbits and scenes I know I want to write #of course I’m writing it in a very random order so I have maybe the second chapter or the second half of the first chapter done #but like I don’t know exactly where it’s starting #i tried to make an outline and then I just kept writing mini scene details so I’m just letting words happen and will figure it out later #I don’t know what I’m getting myself into but I hope it keeps going because it feels nice #I’m just having a good time and already regretting the fact that I have to work tomorrow… #of course if anything was going to make me write fic it was going to be jatp #so I am making a thing #willex #sunset curve chiropractic

Every time someone well-meaning suggests I see a chiropractor for my migraines, I have this little moment of "ah, you're new here. You weren't here prior to 2018 when a chiropractor very gently adjusted my neck for my migraines, and I ended up having to get an emergency MRI because the ensuing symptoms were indicative of a brain bleed."

It wasn't a brain bleed. The muscles on the entire right side of my neck "just" tore (Spoiler there is nothing "just" about that kind of traumatic injury. I am still in physical rehab for it), and I couldn't hold my head up, see straight, walk or do any of the things I'd previously taken for granted until several weeks later when the area finally started to heal.

This was before I knew I had Ehlers Danlos, btw. But this is true even for people who don't have a connective tissue disorder: Don't let chiropractors touch your neck.

There are a lot of vital nerves and blood vessels there, and even gentle adjustments of the area can have life-threatening consequences.

I know chiropractic care can be pain relieving--I still get it for my lower back and hips because I work with a chiropractor who knows about Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and sometimes my hips need to be popped back in at short notice, and it's easier to hop walk in and see her than wait for physical therapy--but it is a short-term relief that doesn't actually correct why something is happening.

If you can afford it, physical therapy will likely help more in the long term. I know not everyone can afford it, and that's why chiropractors have such a booming trade in the US, but please, I'm begging you, don't get your neck adjusted.

The spinal cord specialist I saw after my injury told me the number one reason he used to see people for traumatic brain injuries was car wrecks, followed by other major roadside injuries. He said those numbers were still the highest, but after that, the majority of his patients were survivors of chiropractic injury.

Do Not Get Your Neck Adjusted.

It's been over 5 years, and I still can't move my neck properly on my right side. I still struggle to eat and drink because my muscles will randomly seize up. It feels like my skull no longer fits on top of my spine because of the scar tissue. Please. I just want people to be safe.

And if you are a chiropractor reading this and thinking, "Well, I've never injured anyone, skill issue." No. You Have Gotten Lucky. Rethink how you apply your trade. Please, you can still help people while recommending safer options for specific body parts. Learn to do pressure point release and acupressure. Teach patients how to stretch and relax the area safely. Just fucking stop cracking people's necks like pop rock candy.

My boss is so insufferable 😃 this mf tests my patience EVERYDAY..but I don’t even talk back anymore just yeah, yeah, uhm, great, yes yes I’ll do it 👍 AAAAAAAGH (I need the money though)

Anyway, how are you? Doing good? Sleeping well? Drinking enough water? 🫶🏻

I hope ur boss chokes <3

I’m doing alrightttt I just got out of the shower after washing the whole bathroom and tell me why I was gonna shave my legs but then I go to bend over and the muscles in my hip went “no ma’am <3” bc I’d been bent over for over an hour already scrubbing 😭 the pain was so sharp I almost saw god dude

but good news: I GOT A JOB AND I START TOMORROW 👹 bad news is I’m working 9:45am to 7pm for 4 days straight 😭 but I need the money so we have to suck it up and earn that check!!

#40 hours right off the bat is gonna kill me but we persevere #I’m working front desk at a chiropractic place and I basically explain all the plans we have to ppl and handle all the paper work #I’ve been doing the online training and it’s not necessarily hard work but it is a lot of it and it’s meticulous so pray for me #hopefully it’s not horrible <3

[boneless-mika]

Desperately trying to find relief for pain and finding advice like “have good posture”, “be less sedentary” like no even if I were interested in being blamed for all my pain this is a now problem, not a “improve your posture and you won’t be as likely to experience this pain in a year” problem

#I did find a great method for neck pain due to migraines #so I’m in a little less pain #thank SpineCare Decompression and Chiropractic Center for that #idk why but I’ve always had something against chiropracty but this clearly worked very well so #I will have to reconsider #if it is purely placebo effect then why didn’t any of the painkillers work #well either way I am in less pain win/win

Achieving Wellness at Home: The Transformative Power of Chiropractic Care for Remote Workers

The rise of remote work has revolutionized how people work, offering flexibility and convenience. However, it also presents unique challenges to physical health.

Me: has the idea to write a chiropractor au

Also me: proceeds to write only scenes entirely unrelated to the chiropractor part of the au

#yes this is about my willex chiropractor au #i may have not said much about it but… it is in the works #and I may or may not be doing a slimmed down version of nanowrimo for it which I’m kind of loving tbh #i might even have a goal for when to start posting it if I get enough of it done and also don’t chicken out 🙈 #in my notes pages I have ideas for scenes relating to the chiropractor #i worked out willie’s injury and had an idea for parts of the treatment to include #and yet every time I sit down to write I just make silly little tangents that could happen in almost any other non chiropractor verse #I don’t understand why I am like this #but words are better than no words and I’m making some silly cute things so I’m just going along for the ride #jatp #julie and the phantoms #fic writing #sunset curve chiropractic
