“You Are Hearing Dead People Laugh”: 50 Disturbing Facts That May Leave You Feeling Unsettled

How many sharks do chiropractors kill, anyway?

I noticed my husband doesn't turn his head to check his blind spots when he is driving. He has his mirrors adjusted to see down either side to the lanes around him. I asked why he never turns his head? He said a Chiropractor did that. He hates them. The man adjusted his neck somehow now he can't turn his head like he needs to.

Sharks kill less than a dozen people a year, yeah chiropractors kill way more than that and I'm offended on behalf of the sharks that they're even in the same sentence lol

Also, cracking your neck can cause a stroke.

Just read about a person being paralyzed by a chiropractor, and got a 27 million dollar settlement. But what good is money if you can no longer move your body?

My former boss was at a chiropractic clinic waiting to be called when she heard a scream and a few minutes later an ambulance pulled up. She left.

Mine cracked my titanium plate in two. No surgeries have fixed the nerve damage. She did great w my husband who has no plates though. The issue is one off moment and the damage is irreparable. Do physical therapy instead, please.

Devil's Advocate here. I've been to chiropractors and only three did anything that helped me. So, I'd say that 3% of them are not quacks. Those who advertise on bus stop benches, the side of a bus or back of the phone book and especially the ones that tell you you will need to come 5 days a week-for life are the losers. I now have spinal stenosis and my "good chiro " won't touch me and said no reputable one should either. Learning to live with chronic pain is an art

What if a chiropractor was a shark? Hmmmm??

that's because sharks rarely go to Chiropractors and people do

A renowned Orthopedic surgeon, in his book , stated, that if you need to see a chiropractor more than 2 or 3 times, he’s not treating the cause, he’s treating the symptoms. You people who have an ongoing weekly, or monthly appointment, just let that sink in !

well i didn't think chiropractors killed sharks

My friend worked for a chiropractor who snuck up behind her and cracked her neck. She said "if you'd asked me if I wanted that I'd have said no." He said "that's why I didn't ask." She had neck problems after that. After she quit, a senior lady with a cane worked for him. One day he decided that she was faking a disability so he took her cane away from her. "I THREW IT SO FAR, YOU'LL NEVER FIND IT." He told her proudly. He was arrested for that and was subsequently hospitalized.

First insurance paid bone cracker cracked my neck without looking at my "X-Ray". Went to my first DO (?) at the VA and she said it was too risky. Just my experience.

I like how everyone on here disses chiros but it was one of the few things that actually helped my back and neck pain as well as stretches.

A friend's father was a chiropractor. When I was a teenager, my neck used to get stuck in one place so I could not turn it and he used to put it back where it should be. I found out in my 60s through a scan for something else that I had broken my neck falling off a horse all those years ago and that I could have died during any of those sessions. But it did feel good at the time!

Maybe they find it harder to kill sharks

That's not the stat you think it is. Sharks don't kill that many people annually.

😳😳😳 I've been saying for a long time how I've wanted to go to a chiropractor. Uhhhhhhhh yeah not so much anymore

I remember a female patient died due to double treatment in my country. Basically this woman had discomfort on her neck and back pain and had registered a two times a day therapy of 40 therapy sessions with an American chiropractor due to scheduling reasons. It was only her first double therapy that she felt immense pain at night and was brought to hospital. Doctor discovered she had her back of neck swollen, allegedly her blood vessel had popped. It was before MRI scan that she passed out. At 6am she was declared dead, leaving her family distraught of her passing in a short span of day. The investigation became inconclusive because the chiropractor didn't respond to the allegations and was discovered the American had returned to his country and allegedly had no permit for treatment in my country. Hence, the clinic permanently closed across the country.

When does the culling start?

Can't stand these quacks myself. It's even worse to me to see them working on kids because they haven't quit growing and I don't think it's a good idea especially to do it to kids. Then there are pet chiropractors, gimme a break.

IMO manual adjustments are too forceful and unnecessary. There are chiropractors that are gentle and do not do manual adjustments. But what I don't understand is that for every chiropractor that does these forceful, loud and painful adjustments, there are all of their patients that think the bigger the pain and pop the better they are and I really don't understand that at all!

My coworkers son who was a 7th grade teacher was permently paralized by a chiro and sued ..won in Ontario,canada

I always get scared they are going to break my neck!

Well, in ALL medical fields, HALF of the graduates were in the bottom half of their class!! GET REFERENCES, Check HISTORY, etc. There are GREAT ONES out there. HUNT

Shark deaths are very rare.

As a person with a bad black and serious issues, nothing was worse than the chiropractic measures I tried. So much extra pain for no reason.

Postmen kill more people per year than chiropractors tho. But top of the chain are US policemen.
