I got down to my local chiropractic and got a solid massage and pressure point activator. Despite having only 2 years of experience, i think he did a great job. At the end of it all, i lied down on my tummy and asked him to step on my back.

 

"You did GREAT, son!!!" Hhaahahahah.. try it guys! (For those with toddler children)

 

Okay on a serious note, i lie down and roll on my massage roller here. My goodness, i love it and it is indeed an awesome finisher especially after a long day of work. Got mine from www.foamrollersingapore,com

My name is Dr Theo from Light Chiropractic. I see many people making remarks on Chiropractic and some even go out of their way to post negative things about it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but just to make things clear with some of people perception. Context is important. Someone made a post on cancer raising in Singapore every year. Would it be fair to say the medical profession is failing? The answer would be no.

There is plenty of evidence that the greatest cause of any condition is stress,this includes back pain and even cancer.

There is plenty of research that supports Chiropractic. Most of the articles that are against it are not studies but generalized observations with opinions at the end of them based on an educated guess. If someone looks hard enough they can find research that supports their belief systems and another person can find the opposite. This even applies in physics, which is the purest science there is.

My general advice to anyone that wants to get better from anything is, the first place you have to start when you want to get better from anything is you have to look at yourself in the mirror and audit your life and see what you can do to change anything inside and outside it.

There have been countless people that have tried different stuff and have gotten better from what ever they are suffering from. What I tell a lot of people is, winners find ways to win. Strategy and approach to anything is more important. I've been in practice for many years and many individuals have benefited from my care. If Chiropractic didn't work, then I must have done a great job fooling the people whom have been seeing me for years.

Not all chiropractors are the same. as with any other field. Just because you had one sour experience doesn't mean you should give up on something. It's easy to fall into that. There are different approaches that are differ in Chiropractic care. There are a lot of factors that influence results, which if I wanted to I can talk for hours about. That's why researchers do triple blind studies. Human influence and intention is the big x factor.

Correct me if I am wrong. I had this impression that chiropractic care gives short term relieve but long term underlying damage.

Some people think TCM is bulls**t and if you asked a "western" doctor, most will agree but TCM really works for some.

 

If you talk to a orthopaedic or physiotherapist about chiropractic, the polite one will say thanks but no thanks. Chiro works for my friend but did more harm than good for me. So it really depends on your conditions but as I get older, I prefer to rely on scientific and clinical observations to seek treatment, there are just too many alternatives out there and it is hard to try them out one by one as they usually take a while to show results. Just my 2 cents.

[Still2016]

Not entirely true when you look at the context of long-term relief.  Lets say you get the flu and get over it.  Does that mean you wont get the flu anymore?  Of course not.  You can definitely get a new strand of a virus you were never exposed to, its even possible to get the same strand that you had in the past that you developed an immunity for.  Its rare but it can happen if your immune system is really weakened. 

 

When looking at health or well-being, its an ongoing effort of good mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual development not to mention things like family and money.  There are not many individuals that are able meet all of the above so it makes them susceptible and vulnerable to ill health, depression, anxiety to name of few.  Health is not linear and there is no clear cut way of living. 

 

As for the danger, just to put things in perspective.  America is known as a suing country. Out of all the health professionals in the country, Chiropractors pay far less for malpractice insurance.  Than medical doctors would.  How many places in the world you or your loved can walk in and either come out worst or even worst? After which nothing happening to the doctor or the hospital. It will be business as usual. Granted out of defense, normally people that go to hospitals are in the worst of worst conditions so the rate of malpractice, or just age and attrition come into play.  So of course you would get more cases like that. 

Most people that come to me are not in their advanced part of their disease or problems so the success rate will be higher along with higher posibiltiy of them improving their overall well being.

 

I have been getting Chiropractic care for more than half of my life and I am in excellent condition.  Furthermore most of the areas in my life are spectacular. Most of the health and well-being in my life has little to do with Chiropractic but instead, living well as a human being.  I'm filled worth purpose in my life and I get to inspire others.  These types of ideals are supported in Chiropractic which makes the profession distinct and needed in our society, this is why its the largest non-medical profession regarding physical health. Chiropractic serves people the best when talking about how we can live well. We need medical doctors, we need dentist, physiotherapist, psychotherapist.  There is a benefit in everything, its just a matter of what your goals are. 

 

Frankly speaking not everyone wants to live better lives, some of them just want to get on to the next day and not have any pain or problems, I get people like that all the time and that is okie for me. However health problems just don't appear from no where, they are usually connected to the stuff a explained above and require more inside work. 

 

 

 

I appreciate your holistic approach towards health and that I must encourage. It also reminds me of my approach to my own health.

 

I watched your facebook video on the spine adjustment on the toddler. Frankly, it scared the hell out of me. The manipulation and compression, no matter how lightly can cause irreversible damage to the spine and long term mild to severe disability.

 

The "eyes" size of the toddler is common and often they grow out of it. It is akin to babies who like to lie on their side resulting in a flat head shape from side to side. Basically it is not pathological. In short, it should be discouraged for any person to manipulate a toddler's spine especially the neck (cervical spine) when the joints / ligaments / bones are not well form. The manipulation may induce stroke by occluding vital blood vessels such as the vertebral arteries which may not be not normal but aberrant in their anatomy. I believe this should seriously be discouraged.

 

While, manipulation and compression is applied to "align" the spine / join, where is the definitive proof that the spine and joint are misaligned in the first place (except for gross malalignment such as scoliosis). Subsequently after manipulation, is there imagining proof that the spine or joint are aligned.

 

With each manipulation and if client experiences discomfort or even pain, It generally means there is some form of injury eg micro-tear to the capsule of a joint or ligaments.

 

With regards to getting sued by patients. Just how many chiropractors versus how many doctors are there in America? Since this is a car forum, an example, just how many rolls Royce do you see breaking down on the road versus how many Toyota breaking down on the road? Does it mean Rolls Royce does not break down and / or Toyota cars are lousy and dangerous. Chiropractors don't open people up but doctors do. The degree of complexity of treatment and varied out come for doctors (surgeons, obstetricians) have higher chance for failure. So in short, it is not fair to generalised that chiropractors are safer than medical doctors.  I believe it boils down to individual practitioner and his or her competency.

 

I believe there is a place for chiropractor practice but in its current form to include manipulation of the spine toddlers borders of being dangerous especially when the toddler is unable to communicate.

 

I am sure chiropractors help as in physiotherapists and deep body massagers. But as in anything dealing with health, if there is a medical problem, investigate the cause with proper documentation before commencing treatment.

 

At the current form, I believe like TCM it is complementary to Western medicine.

There is no rotation at the neck so the odds of a tear is extremely low. I adjust my own children and many in my practice. I know of practices in America which have been seeing infants for 50 years and there were never accidents. Chiropractic is mainstream in America and there is as much research in pediatric care as adult.

Insurance companies know more than any doctor in any field about the dangers of any thing because they have the hard statistical data than anyone, since they deal with lawsuits more than anyone.

 

Insurance companies base their rates on statistical data per doctor visit and not based on volume. I'm using context to my example. If you noticed I wasn't bashing another profession as I said there is a need and place for others. Alternative is not a good word because it alludes there is competition or a means of a profession replacing another.

 

I'm not saying this to shoot you down but are you a person with a health background with proper exposure or a insurance handler?

The smartest people in the world can be wrong. All perceptions are wrong perceptions. This is a quote given by the Buddha and one that every scientist should follow. This means anyone can be wrong including me.

I appreciate your time asking me questions. I invite you to my practice and will even give you a complimentary session in exchange to educating the public.

Chiropractors should never claim to treat anything because that's not what chiropractic does. When some one runs they don't treat their heart disease but it's the only way to really treat it provided HR is monitored and the person isn't in advanced stages of their disease.

 

 

no advertising of your clinic please.

I thank you for your thought provoking post and wish you a successful career ahead.

 

I appreciate your complimentary session but I believe the person who needed most here, seriously, is Radx. His side job is the undertaker and you do understand that is a lot of emotional strain attached to the nature of his job.

 

To get his attention all you need to do is start a completely new identical new thread and you will summon him. He will then likely to cruxify you with a plaque in the thread of fame (Search before posting or something like that). He is all wound up like a string of ball and my guess is his job description. Truly may I pass this complementary session to him and I believe he may actually benefit from your work (seriously). He never try, he never know.

[Acemundo]

people who advocated that people with back problem to go to orthopedic, can you share what are the clinical science behind it and the method they employ?  

[RadX]

There is a reason why Chiropractors are NOT regulated in sg.

 

nuff said.

 

 

 

Now keep your vested interests at bay and go proselytize your practice at shopping malls.

 

I have dealt with x-ray requests from them and i shall refrain from commenting anymore than I have alredy done in the past. TUVM

i don't see it as indication of malpractice or lack of efficacy.  i don't know if TCM is by now regulated by MOH, but they would have been in the same boat and predicament now or previously and yet they have been more effective than doctors and medical specialists in treating certain types of medical ailments.

 

apex regulatory bodies seldom want to address non-main stream businesses and these bodies works more like regulator than promoter or standard bearer.

they now are! There is a separate unit in MOH. TCMs need to be registered with MOH before practising, and there is a regulatory board that looks at these issues of training, certification, licensing, etc

 

EBM comes to mind here and whilst I agree that it would take a while for it to further itself, for now with what I have seen for myself, it is not there.

 

Contentious issue no doubt, and I have commented before on this and shall leave it as that

Those that have back problems should really give the inversion table a try before you assume the surgery risk.

You can go try out inversion table at any AIBI shops, but your body would need a week or two on it to condition & reap its benefits

any idea the ballpark range of the costs of the inversion table?

[Kangadrool]

go to park find those inverted bench. FOC.

most free bench only work on the principle of pulling  but not pushing.  while i cannot be sure this one allows pushing as well, but at least i would like to keep an open mind for it.
