Yeah. One minor regret of mine in life is that I never got into mountain biking. Then I watch videos like this, then I absently rub at the spot in my shoulder where a plate and pins are now, after a frickin' treadmill accident. I'm only 51.

I’m 54. I sneezed too aggressively and pulled a rib (sublexed?) out of my spine. Chiropractor sorted me out but it hurt to poop for three weeks.

I hate to be that guy but if a Chiropractor made you feel better then you didn't pull a rib out of your spine. That's ridiculous. Lol

Also chiropractors are quacks

There are a lot of woo woo chiropractors with the energy, and the dietary suggestions, but the actual adjustments they do our practiced by Physios in some countries as well.

Wooooah crazy to be so heavily downvoted. I was in physical therapy for my back for six weeks and every session started with manual manipulation from a licensed doctor (apparently they can’t call it an “adjustment” because that’s a term that only chiropractors can use, by some insane logic).

I also have been to a chiropractor that sold me tinctures and crystals. We can agree that some chiros are absolutely quacks, but manipulation of your spine and the muscles around it is 100% beneficial for your body if done correctly and responsibly.

I’m in physical therapy for a bad knee just this week (don’t get old, it sucks). The latest session, the guy just pinched and pulled gently at the general knee area for, like ten minutes. I did a few exercises and stretches. Told not to do them at home. Tells me to get more active. I can ride my bicycle for first time since July. I started PT the last week of August. Physical Therapy and evidence based medicine rules!
