Honestly, "They just snap my spine into place and some times rough up a muscle just to prevent it snapping back out of location again." sounds pretty suspicious to me. What does "snap my spine into place" mean, exactly? Were you literally paralyzed or handicapped in some way until they did this thing?
Muscles "snapping out of location"? How does that work?
- alkonaut 6y agoI just mean the extremely common condition when you have one or more thoracic vertebra that ”feels” out of place (As I understand it, it’s not -it’s just a muscular thing). Typically due to stiff muscles surrounding it. Muscles aren’t out of location. Muscles are tense near the spine, causing pain and stiffness. The area is easily seen/felt with a finger on the spine near where the issue is. Apart from pain it can give a sensation of tension or a feeling you can’t take deep breaths. The diy fix is having someone lift you from behind as you exhale (a snap-crackle-pop sound will be heard), or rolling with your back on a foam cylinder. I thought almost everyone, at least those with desk jobs and not enough excercise had this issue occasionally. I go to either a chiro or a naprapathy person to sort it. And as I said they do the same thing or very similar. The same authority that certifies doctors certifies these people, so it’s literally under the surgeon general’s oversight. Which is why I think they basically have to practice something very similar to naprapathy, and can’t make claims to treat anything but the areas actually treated. Basically back muscles.
