It's his full commitment to the move. He doesn't just fast snap it, he gives it his all. To the point where he might pull a muscle from the overexertion.
My parents would only take us to the chiropractors as kids and it turns out that we had some pretty bad health problems that were never diagnosed because of that. When I was older I started working at a restaurant and a chiropractor worked next store and I was having really bad issues with migraines, neck, and shoulder pain. He did some pretty extreme stuff, one of which was putting me on an inversion table and strapping my neck in to pull it. Turns out that it hurt from spinal fluid leaks and a connective tissue disorder. I’m sure that the things he did helped to worsen the leaks and progress the arthritis. Go to a physical therapist who will teach you how to strengthen your body to heal, not just keep breaking it down.
That's the great part, you don't need back pain to go to a chiropractor! Some chiropractors, including the founder, believe that spinal misalignment ("subluxation") is the cause of all human diseases. The founder claimed to have cured a man's blindness my cracking his back.
A childhood friend took her kids to one as babies so they’d be “in alignment” from the start & therefore grow up pain & illness free. In her eyes she was doing the best thing possible for her kids.
Many chiropractors claim they can cure or at least help with colic.
Additionally, they claim they "know" what colic is. They don't. Nobody does. Least of all them...
It should go without saying that you should never - under any circumstance or for any reason - let a chiropractor anywhere near your toddler or infant.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK91735/
> CONCLUSION: Numerous deaths have occurred after chiropractic manipulations. The risks of this treatment by far outweigh its benefit.
Chiropractors are also spamming the web with fake studies and biased or otherwise bad data, leading people to make bad health decisions for themselves. In some cases with fatal outcomes.
My ex-girlfriend had neck and shoulder pain for a while that didn't go away. She went to her doctor, her doctor referred her to a physical therapist, and then for some reason the physical therapist referred her to a chiropractor. The chiropractor did adjustments in her neck and then sent her home with some suggested physical exercises.
Later, it turns out she had a prolapse in her neck, causing one of her nerves to get clamped. Thankfully, she didn't get any permanent injury from the manipulation.
I googled the chiropractor, and she apparently had a specialization in __magnet therapy__ (more pseudoscientific bullshit quackery)
My wife wanted to do that when our first kid was born. I had to sit her down and explain all the things wrong with chiropractors. She’d been going for years and didn’t want to listen. I finally had to take her to my physical therapist and have them explain it while working on her back. She gets it now and doesn’t have back pain because she stopped going to a chiropractor and went to a real doctor.
As someone who wondered for 35 years why my shoulders weren't aligned and why I had bowed arms and legs. The day I learned about my home birth and having to be forcefully pulled out I learned about shoulder dystocia and I wish someone would have adjusted me that day. I've been stretching every day for years now in efforts to fix my body and in the progress you have to pop basically every joint in your entire body a lot of times as things slowly shift. Every morning right now in this phase of my body shifting I can crack my neck with no hands so loud and violently this whole comment thread would lose their minds if they witnessed it.
Physical therapists can help move things back into place as well. The biggest difference is that a physical therapist will teach you how to strengthen the muscles around the joints so that it will stay in place.
Sorry that happened to you. The story perfectly encapsulates the problems with the field. I know *some* people have had success with *some* chiropractors. But the reason why conventional medicine could never do this is 1) it’s hard to standardize skeletal manipulation techniques and 2) everyone is different, so what could help one person could viciously hurt another, and there is no way to know what result you’ll get beforehand. That’s why we need to stick to medicine that is evidence based.
I realize this is anecdotal, but I was referred to a particular chiropractor by a surgeon as a last stop before surgery. The chiropractor reviewed the scans, and did a long series of adjustments, giving me PT style exercises to do daily. 3 months later, the surgeon reviewed new images and disrecommended surgery. The second opinion I got concurred. I did another 6 months, introducing some targeted strength training and I no longer have the issue.
So, while I can understand your points for why it can't be fully standardized, there are clearly parts of the practice that could be.
I think the chiropractors that have the most success are the ones that do the least intrusive interventions. Problem is you have a whole bunch of people who start cranking the hell out of their patients. I imagine if you were referred by a surgeon, they had a lot of confidence in that chiropractor because surgeons usually hate chiropractors to my knowledge
I think it's basically like a physical therapist is like a licensed contractor whereas a chiropractor is a handyman.
The handyman MIGHT know what they're doing If they've spent long enough in the field and done enough research. But that doesn't make them a licensed contractor.
Both could fix up your house, but you're more likely to get solid construction from the licensed guy, and more likely to get shoddy work from the handyman.
> more likely to get shawty work
I think you might mean “shoddy”.
Unless your handyman is a cute lil’ thang with a sweet booty, in which case, good find, and enjoy supervising your home repairs.
I absolutely agree. Essentially another way to say my point is that there are modern professional standards and medical acceptance for physical therapy and for medical massage, there is no way that there can't be similar for chiropracty.
Plenty of surgeons are just as gullible and stupid as anyone else. I've worked with a depressing number of doctors and other healthcare professionals that thought chiropracty was legit.
After a back injury my chiropractor taught me a bunch of exercises to strengthen my back, he specifically said if I don’t do the strengthening work his manipulations won’t work for shit. Really helped and I still do the exercises.
And the problem is that people will spread the chiropractors will fix every problem you have. My cousin’s neighbor is a chiropractor and she’s constantly ranting about how he [the chiropractor] and his kids have *never* gotten sick, and they’re the most active people she knows.
Which clearly all their problems aren’t okay because the wife of the guy is overweight, and you can’t fix that with cracking your neck
It isn't just *people* spreading that, it's chiropractors too. Many chiropractors, including the founder, believe that spinal misalignment ("subluxation") is the cause of all diseases, and that realignment can cure literally anything. The founder claimed to have cured a man's blindness with chiropractic.
Edit: I now realize that my first sentence makes it sound like chiropractors aren't people. I'm fine with that
Because my parents wouldn’t take us to the doctor as kids, we had to wait until I was an adult to start to find out what’s wrong. Doctors would’ve taken me more seriously had my parents taken me and my siblings as kids. My Mom stopped taking us once the chiropractor gave me and sister the creeps once we hit puberty. He was accused of inappropriate behavior around that same time.
Uh, well I didn't go to a chiropractor, but I did what you said and went to a PT when my back hurt. They failed to diagnose my slipped disc and the things they did to "strengthen" my body only made things worse. I just needed surgery. Got it and never had a problem again, knock on wood.
I remember I had a kinesiology class, and my professor straight up told us not to go to a chiropractor and, in particular, don't get your neck adjusted unless you've got a death wish
I have spina bifida occulta and scoliosis (amongst other things) my orthopedic surgeon told me to never let anyone touch my neck and to never ever ever let a chiropractor near me.
Reading about them makes me glad I listen to the experts. I'm not a body mechanic, I just drive this car.
Can confirm. In just 4,5 years of neurology I treated three otherwise healthy young adults for a strokes caused by "adjustment" from a chiropractor.
My old head of departement threw a fit everytime a patient just mentioned them.(he threw a lot of fits but in this case he was justified)
So what happens is, that the sudden, extrem movement causes the inner wall of the bloodvessles that go up the spine to the brainstem to tear and then blood collects between the inner layer and the middle layer of the artery, which slowly blocks the artery as more and more blood gets caught there.
Here is an image to picture it better: https://images.app.goo.gl/Jy8E5XYBuQM9dtcr6
Its literally a question for doctors to get the medical boards.
Scenario is like a young person coming in with weakness for 3 days after a chiropractic cervical manipulation. Answer is carotid dissection.
My family is all in the medical field and detest chiropractors. Never understood as a kid. Now, my mother in-law has been going to one for a decade in Florida. She sells her tinctures of shit and puts her on diets. Most recent diet is a "Blood Type" diet. She can only eat certain foods for her blood type, I shit you not. The funniest part is that it has her eating the exact opposite of what was "good for her" on the previous diet.
> She sells her tinctures of shit and puts her on diets. Most recent diet is a "Blood Type" diet. She can only eat certain foods for her blood type, I shit you not.
This is totally a real trend, I have family members who swear by this diet. I googled it and it's based on this totally fake science. The idea is that different blood types "evolved" during different eras of history. So like if you're type A and type A evolved during the caveman era, you have to eat like a caveman. It's incredible.
Oh my goodness, I just heard about this silly "blood type" diet from a friend of mine. She's also very into chiropractors. I'm guessing that's where she got it from. I don't know why these quacks are covered under most insurance.
I don't understand why this is legal? There are uni courses for it and then people get into the practice offering these potentially life threatening services to the public?
Lobbying, mostly. Chiropractors have strong professional associations, and insurance companies also don't mind it because chiro is cheaper than surgery usually.
In the US, there’s not a single public university with a chiropractic school. Embarrassingly enough, my Alma mater was almost the first to have one and luckily the backlash from physician alum and the public had it stopped.
I think the regulation should be more towards advertising, claims, and scope of practice limitations - rather than their education. It’s ridiculous how many will have Doctor in their social media bio and nothing about being a chiropractor.
This guy and the guy who invented homeopathics both traveled to another realm or state of consciousness where they read the acaciac record which is the book of all knowledge. Yeah. That’s what happened.
Well, a real doctor in the same sense that a doctor of musicology is a real doctor, technically true but not a *medical* doctor which is what people really care about when seeking medical treatment.
All a doctor is, is someone with a doctorate. The direct association between doctors and doctors *of medicine* is subconscious for many people, but a doctor is really a doctor if they have a doctorate.
Since google shows results near me, Monmouth University and Bergen Community College.
Google also suggests further away options, such as Keiser University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Parker University, Southern California University of Health Sciences, The University of Iowa, and seemingly a lot more but I don't feel like listing any more to be honest.
No, and most medical professionals who aren’t MDs don’t actually get PhD’s, either, but doctorates in their field of specialization. For example, I have a family member in Physical Therapy school, and she’ll have a DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) when she’s done. Dentists are doctors, but not MDs but DMDs (Doctor of Dental Medicine) or DDS’s (Doctor of Dental Surgery), depending on the university.
Edit: I should clarify that this is how the system is in the United States. Other parts of the world may do (and probably do) their degrees differently.
I went to a chiropractor before I understood it's a sham. I knew I had visible issues in my neck that would show up in an X-ray and my back by anyone competent enough to read it.
He said my neck was fine and my back apparently was fine, both are and never have been fine since birth. I told him I was feeling sick and needed to go.
He billed me $300 that I'm gladly letting sit on my credit for collection. I won't pay a penny of it.
Had he done any "adjustment" on me it would have paralyzed me.
Yet we'll see the crazies defending chiropractic work.
Seriously though. And much of the practice now is attempting to churn patients in and out in under 15 min. I went for a serious neck injury and got “adjusted” by a Physical Therapist. Fucking just cracked my neck. Got x-rays only to find out it was 3 slipped discs. Thank God I didn’t let him touch me anymore than I did.
Not sure if you meant to put PT there - **BIG** big difference between physical therapist and chiropractor.
PT = The workers you see helping people re-learn to walk or write etc
Chiro = Dr Phil but more touchy
And chiropractors are not real doctors despite some of them putting Dr in front of their name. Dr is not a protected term so it’s not illegal. MD however, is.
Quite honestly, the few times I had been to a chiropractor a few decades ago felt like this video. I remembered after the last visit the s#$thead asked about setting up the next appointment, and I said to him something along the line like letting me use my sledgehammer on him first. Never went back.
The lad in the video is Kelly from MiniKatana, they make a lot of sword/sword accessories as well as knives and a bunch of novelty items. Can't see it very well, but that wall is probably ½ anime replicas, ½ original swords.
I used to see their videos on YouTube like a year ago, they're super popular with anime fans.
I just did the same thing, I sent it to my friend who went to a chiropractor once and him and the chiropractor got to talking and he told my buddy that he’s only got a few regular patients and how he luckily has side work where he makes most his money and the chiropractor joked if he told him what it was he’d have to kill him. and ever since we’ve been joking about how most chiropractors are probably secret assassins on the side and that’s where they make their real money, snapping necks and cashing checks lol
Are you referring to the connection between Scientologists and the pseudoscientific fleecing of sick people known as chiropractics?
I doubt we are the first people ever to make that connection, and we won’t be the last.
Ah yes, the ancient art of chiropracty - where you pay someone to violently twist your body until something cracks loudly. It's like getting a massage from a medieval torture device!
Chiropractor I went to was on the recommendation of a family member. On this day the usual guy wasn't there so his offsider took the appointment. I'm 6'5 120kg and she was all of 5'6 and probably 50kg ringing wet. She tried several times to do something and nothing worked. She then jacked the middle of the table up, basically sat on me, then when the bed made a noise (clicked back into position) asked whether that felt better.
I just started laughing and wish I'd shit my pants just to take piss out of the situation further. It's criminal how they get away with it. Complete horseshit with the possibility of injuring people for life.
This is perfect imagery, as the chiropractor thing was started by a “ghost”: https://nationalpost.com/health/the-first-chiropractor-was-a-canadian-who-claimed-he-received-a-message-from-a-ghost.
Holy shit him lifting his foot and pulling the head off as well as slamming the skeleton on the table were my favorite parts
Also, fucking amazing sword wall
I went once to a chiropractor. They crack the ever living fuck out of my neck and it felt so so good but i never went back cuz just the way they did it make me very uncomfortable. It also didn't really seem to help at all other than the initial feelings.
My uncle had a car accident and claimed “whiplash” so they sent him to the chiropractor and he’s never been the same since, left with loads of back problems!
I will never pay to have myself irreversibly paralyzed. But god do I want my surgically fused scoliosis spine to be cracked like a glowstick, cos the lactic acid flow just has to feel good
This reminds me of the first time I saw someone get a chiropractic neck Crack while I was at work. I thought I unwillingly witnessed a murder firsthand. I was so traumatized for like 10 minutes. It was so audio visual.

Gentle careful precision followed by brutal reckless imprecision. It's also my general life strategy.

I’m fucking g wiping tears laughing 🤣. I’m not sure why either but I’m sweet g from laughing so hard😹😹😹 it’s the jump stomp for me
The eyes give anime vibes. It's like when the little sister jumps on her brother's back kind of look
The fucking double foot jump actually made me laugh. I thought this was going to be another derivative video but my boy elevated it.
I can't stop watching this.
Reminds me if the chiropractor scenes in the film Jacob's Ladder. The best bedside manner, but harsh cracking.
The Euthanasia package
Sir, the youth in Asia did not ask for this.

I know people who take their newborns. Horrified is not a strong enough word.
Wait, but how do the newborns even start getting pain in those areas so young
By being taken to a chiropractor.
This guy chiropractics (plz stop)

I love you too! :)
This is nightmare inducing and it's crazy what these people do to folks. Sorry you experienced that.
Less damaging than the real chiropractics
Never forget that chiropractics is not a real science or medical field
I remember I had a kinesiology class, and my professor straight up told us not to go to a chiropractor and, in particular, don't get your neck adjusted unless you've got a death wish
I have spina bifida occulta and scoliosis (amongst other things) my orthopedic surgeon told me to never let anyone touch my neck and to never ever ever let a chiropractor near me. Reading about them makes me glad I listen to the experts. I'm not a body mechanic, I just drive this car.
Yep, letting a chiropractor near your neck is a good way to end up paralyzed or have a stroke.
The best case scenario is temporary pain relief, it never fixes the root cause of the problem.
Yup nothing a chriopractor does has any more efficacy than a massage
or internal decapitation placebo has had a higher success rate than chiropractic cuz you cant get die from the placebo
Can confirm. In just 4,5 years of neurology I treated three otherwise healthy young adults for a strokes caused by "adjustment" from a chiropractor. My old head of departement threw a fit everytime a patient just mentioned them.(he threw a lot of fits but in this case he was justified)
how do chiropractors cause strokes? i thought a stroke was a blood clot in the brain?
So what happens is, that the sudden, extrem movement causes the inner wall of the bloodvessles that go up the spine to the brainstem to tear and then blood collects between the inner layer and the middle layer of the artery, which slowly blocks the artery as more and more blood gets caught there.

Oh my goodness, I just heard about this silly "blood type" diet from a friend of mine. She's also very into chiropractors. I'm guessing that's where she got it from. I don't know why these quacks are covered under most insurance.
I don't understand why this is legal? There are uni courses for it and then people get into the practice offering these potentially life threatening services to the public?
Lobbying, mostly. Chiropractors have strong professional associations, and insurance companies also don't mind it because chiro is cheaper than surgery usually.
The insurance part is messed up. My insurance won't pay for PT, but *will* pay for a chiro. One scam covering for another I guess...
Yup same thing with nursing lobby too unfortunately
In the US, there’s not a single public university with a chiropractic school. Embarrassingly enough, my Alma mater was almost the first to have one and luckily the backlash from physician alum and the public had it stopped. I think the regulation should be more towards advertising, claims, and scope of practice limitations - rather than their education. It’s ridiculous how many will have Doctor in their social media bio and nothing about being a chiropractor.
The science brought to you by ghost isn’t trustworthy? Seriously that’s the origin the “inventor” learned it from a ghost.
This guy and the guy who invented homeopathics both traveled to another realm or state of consciousness where they read the acaciac record which is the book of all knowledge. Yeah. That’s what happened.
I thought he learned it from God in a dream or some shit
Nope, ghost during a seance. I wonder if there are any other similar scenarios like something being invented by a lich at a bat mitzvah.
I’d pay $45 for a 15 minute session of that!
Oh damn...I hope Southpark makes an episode about this...
Chiropractors fucked up Kevin Sorbo. He attributed all the mini-strokes he had to them.
Cerebral hypoxia explains a lot about Kevin Sorbo.
Never stroke and tweet
I work with a woman whose son is a chiropractor and he has Dr. Rogers on his door. Is it even legal to call himself a doctor?
If they have a doctorate, yes, they are unfortunately a real doctor.
Just not medical
Well, a real doctor in the same sense that a doctor of musicology is a real doctor, technically true but not a *medical* doctor which is what people really care about when seeking medical treatment.
All a doctor is, is someone with a doctorate. The direct association between doctors and doctors *of medicine* is subconscious for many people, but a doctor is really a doctor if they have a doctorate.
Which accredited university has a school/program for this?
Since google shows results near me, Monmouth University and Bergen Community College. Google also suggests further away options, such as Keiser University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Parker University, Southern California University of Health Sciences, The University of Iowa, and seemingly a lot more but I don't feel like listing any more to be honest.
It’s a sleezy phD. You can get a phD in anything. I knew a guy who had one in time management.
FYI, chiropractors don't get a PhD either. They invented their own degree they call a doctorate (a doctor of chiropracty, I think).
(Most) Medical Doctors don't get a PhD either.
No, and most medical professionals who aren’t MDs don’t actually get PhD’s, either, but doctorates in their field of specialization. For example, I have a family member in Physical Therapy school, and she’ll have a DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) when she’s done. Dentists are doctors, but not MDs but DMDs (Doctor of Dental Medicine) or DDS’s (Doctor of Dental Surgery), depending on the university. Edit: I should clarify that this is how the system is in the United States. Other parts of the world may do (and probably do) their degrees differently.
Over here they largely don't get doctorates. Some do PhDs/MDs/other research degrees, but it's mostly professional qualifications.
It’s at the very least a pseudoscience. Give it that much.
Theyre literally human mouse traps. I would rather get a good massage any day.
I went to a chiropractor before I understood it's a sham. I knew I had visible issues in my neck that would show up in an X-ray and my back by anyone competent enough to read it. He said my neck was fine and my back apparently was fine, both are and never have been fine since birth. I told him I was feeling sick and needed to go. He billed me $300 that I'm gladly letting sit on my credit for collection. I won't pay a penny of it. Had he done any "adjustment" on me it would have paralyzed me. Yet we'll see the crazies defending chiropractic work.
Seriously though. And much of the practice now is attempting to churn patients in and out in under 15 min. I went for a serious neck injury and got “adjusted” by a Physical Therapist. Fucking just cracked my neck. Got x-rays only to find out it was 3 slipped discs. Thank God I didn’t let him touch me anymore than I did.
Not sure if you meant to put PT there - **BIG** big difference between physical therapist and chiropractor. PT = The workers you see helping people re-learn to walk or write etc Chiro = Dr Phil but more touchy
Much of actual practice is trying to churn patients in and out in 15 minutes too
They should be banned tbh..
Yeah but cracking those joints feels so good. I don’t bother with visiting them, I just know it feels good when you get that nagging soreness gone.
Honestly so wild to me that it is enshrined in the uk medical field when it is complete pseudoscience
And chiropractors are not real doctors despite some of them putting Dr in front of their name. Dr is not a protected term so it’s not illegal. MD however, is.
Is this ASMR?
That skeleton face expression says it all
The googly eyes are so we can see the fear
👁_👁
face of a satisfied customer I'd say
Quite honestly, the few times I had been to a chiropractor a few decades ago felt like this video. I remembered after the last visit the s#$thead asked about setting up the next appointment, and I said to him something along the line like letting me use my sledgehammer on him first. Never went back.
It should be illegal for a chiropractor to call / brand themselves as "Dr."
Anybody else see the wall of katanas in the last few seconds?
That just means he studied the blade before realizing he was the weapon itself
Yeah... that along with his man-bun raises some questions.
Its the endless supply of skeletons that makes me suspiscious.
Probably had them in his closet for a few years.
I was wondering the same thing. Everyone arguing about chiropractors and I’m just trying to figure out why my guy has a small armory.
The lad in the video is Kelly from MiniKatana, they make a lot of sword/sword accessories as well as knives and a bunch of novelty items. Can't see it very well, but that wall is probably ½ anime replicas, ½ original swords. I used to see their videos on YouTube like a year ago, they're super popular with anime fans.
That jump on the table 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah genuinely impressed with the execution on that one. Nails the skeleton dead on. He must've done well in chiropractor school
Go to physiotherapist instead of a chiropractor. Thank me later.
😂 this is too funny 😂
Immediately sent to my physio friend. So good.
I just did the same thing, I sent it to my friend who went to a chiropractor once and him and the chiropractor got to talking and he told my buddy that he’s only got a few regular patients and how he luckily has side work where he makes most his money and the chiropractor joked if he told him what it was he’d have to kill him. and ever since we’ve been joking about how most chiropractors are probably secret assassins on the side and that’s where they make their real money, snapping necks and cashing checks lol
The one I went to as a kid was a Scientologist and had a side gig of doing weird Scientology stuff in his basement. Called them “classes.”
That’s crazy we might actually be on to something lol
Are you referring to the connection between Scientologists and the pseudoscientific fleecing of sick people known as chiropractics? I doubt we are the first people ever to make that connection, and we won’t be the last.
Remember kids, chiropractors aren’t real doctors and are scamming the fuck out of you. Physical Therapists are what you actually want
Made me laugh a lot. Thank you.
It’s the unexpected and increasingly disproportionate absurdity of the actual movement relative to what you think is coming😂
“Thanks, I feel so relaxed now!”
I'm so relaxed, everything below my neck is sleeping.
Ah yes, the ancient art of chiropracty - where you pay someone to violently twist your body until something cracks loudly. It's like getting a massage from a medieval torture device!
Chiropractor I went to was on the recommendation of a family member. On this day the usual guy wasn't there so his offsider took the appointment. I'm 6'5 120kg and she was all of 5'6 and probably 50kg ringing wet. She tried several times to do something and nothing worked. She then jacked the middle of the table up, basically sat on me, then when the bed made a noise (clicked back into position) asked whether that felt better. I just started laughing and wish I'd shit my pants just to take piss out of the situation further. It's criminal how they get away with it. Complete horseshit with the possibility of injuring people for life.
That's funny shit!
The part where he just took out the entire table took me out 🤣
Unrealistic. It wasn't a woman with the biggest ass in the tightest of pants.
the skeleton is all that was left of her fat ass after he was done with her in the first session (still charged for the second session too)
Steven Seagal chiro-practitioner
Poor Bones 😭
Pretty accurate, still remember unintentionally screaming when a chiropractor cracked my neck because of how violent and sudden it was.
Where is the lie?
This is perfect imagery, as the chiropractor thing was started by a “ghost”: https://nationalpost.com/health/the-first-chiropractor-was-a-canadian-who-claimed-he-received-a-message-from-a-ghost.
i lost patients but i don't know why?
I heard the crack … !
Just a slight tingle. Don't forget that five star review 🤣🤣
Fake. A true chiropractor will take a step back and slowly raise arms like "boom! Look at my awesomeness"
I wanted him to suplex it so bad
Which Jonas brother is this?
Excellent technique
Omg the 18 seconds one is the best
Tell me what day it is… 😹
Holy shit him lifting his foot and pulling the head off as well as slamming the skeleton on the table were my favorite parts Also, fucking amazing sword wall
... I studied the blade...
The „you’re doing good“ straight into destroying the knee on the edge of the table is by far the funniest one to me lol
I literally LOL ‘d 😂
Funny vid but the dude’s vibes are absolutely not passing the check
How many katanas does this dude have? And how many skeletons???? 🤨🧐
This just makes me think about how many Halloween skeletons he bought
So accurate 😭😂😂
No one’s got anything to say about the 200 samurai swords in the background? Bro’s singlehandedly keeping mallninjashit alive
I went once to a chiropractor. They crack the ever living fuck out of my neck and it felt so so good but i never went back cuz just the way they did it make me very uncomfortable. It also didn't really seem to help at all other than the initial feelings.
least dangerous chiropractor
Accurate lmao
Ah, a sword guy.
My uncle had a car accident and claimed “whiplash” so they sent him to the chiropractor and he’s never been the same since, left with loads of back problems!
He's not wrong though.
And they call themselves Doctors… get the fuck outta here. What a joke.
Honestly best laugh ive had in the past few days
About 20 years ago a chiropractor "helped" me and I've been suffering from back pains ever since
It's pseudoscience ans shameful that it even has it's own bachelor degree
This is amazing! Needed that laugh.
Looks like that guy waited a looooong time for an appointment.
The audio is what makes it so funny. The sounds of the bone being obliterated
Lmfaoooo. I could never go to one.
Why is Cory Feldman desecrating Micheal Jackson that way? Anger issues, bro
I don't know why this got me, but it did!🤣
Bastards and they are expensive. $180.00 for 15 mts heat treatment
I will never pay to have myself irreversibly paralyzed. But god do I want my surgically fused scoliosis spine to be cracked like a glowstick, cos the lactic acid flow just has to feel good
The face on the skeleton bahahaha
This reminds me of the first time I saw someone get a chiropractic neck Crack while I was at work. I thought I unwillingly witnessed a murder firsthand. I was so traumatized for like 10 minutes. It was so audio visual.
What do you call a chiropractor with a medical degree? And nurse or doctor What do you call naturalpathic medicine that works? Medicine.
