Yes because research shows that tartar and other plaque build up on the teeth can lead to tooth decay, loss, and actually there is a link to heart disease.
The research supports the use of maintenance/twice yearly cleanings of the teeth.

Here's a good review of the physiology, start around slide 20. If the signal of nipple stimulation reaches the brain then the rest is hormonal.

I recommend a foam roller. But like a long one. Like this:

Seriously the best thing I have for keeping my body healthy. Along with Chirp wheels.
A board review book that a teacher here made. It’s extremely helpful. I know a lot of people that have only read the book and passed. I’m sure you can order it though the bookstore. Not sure how much cheaper it is that was versus amazon
This can be tough to answer. Radiologic imaging can only show so much. Even if you have access to 3D x-ray, such as CBCT and can get exact measurements of the misalignment, large misalignments may not be affecting the anatomy around it. (This would get into a separate discussion on heterogeneity).
Dr. Scott Rosa's work has been the best I've come across when evaluating the severity of a misalignment, meaning the actual impact a misalignment is having on the surround anatomy can be seen. He uses his own MRI protocol to evaluate and guide intervention, if need be, as opposed to commonly used x-ray, and does a followup MRI to confirm the dysfunctional anatomic issue has resolved.
Dr. Rosa is published in the book listed below if you're interested in seeing some of his work. If you get the chance to hear him speak and work through cases, it is crazy cool to see the research he and others are working on.
In short, yes, the severity can be seen, but there are a lot things that need to be overcome to establish this kind of practice and make it more accessible to chiropractors and patients.
RCT published in Physiotherapy, peer reviewed.
It was the second study listed on the link below
I do cranial manipulation. It's really hard, but IMO (and this is total opinion that cannot be supported by anything other than me) it negates the need for 75% of cervical manipulation and basically renders rotational manipulation superior to C2 unnecessary.
If DCs want to start I recommend SOT by Dejarnette and Cranial Sutures by Marc Pick.

More on the firm side, however provides great support. I personally have and recommend to patients and they love it so much they have bought more for their house/kids
Hey, it was probably an early indicator of something else wrong. I'm still on a medical journey, but I do know I have some sort of systemic chronic inflammation/autoimmune condition.
That said, the armpit stuff has gone away for me. It seemed to have been some localized irritation. A dermatologist gave me some cream that helped initially, but the biggest help has been washing it with Remedy Soap whenever I take a shower.
I hope it's just some irritation and nice cleansing will help. Keep me posted on what you find, if you'd like.
Very good and very cost effective. I have it personally and recommend it to my patients and they love it. It's on the firmer side
I think there is some mention of hypothesis in quantum physics/mechanics but I haven't read this in years. It is a good, broad overview. You can form your judgements from there.
ChiroLux Curv | Cervical Neck Traction Device & Neck Posture Corrector. This Chiropractic Tool is A Denneroll Cervical Neck Wedge, Neck Curve Restorer & Cervical Traction Device for Neck Pain Relief https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F7PH4QR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_R6PDNRZFWDPACHB310P1 i ended up finding an almost identical roll on amazon that i have. i would look up youtube videos on neck relieving exercises and they all help for sure, easing tension and pressure. just got to keep at them and be consistent and things will change
Arguing with people like that is pointless. If wanting to understand how chiropractic really works research models of dysafferentation then superimpose those functional concepts on top of the biomechanical models. This is a good resource as long as you tear out the manipulation section:
Today we are in an "evidence" hangover from past abuses of "philosophy"; however long that hangover lasts will be directly proportional to who thrives and who dies.
https://www.health.harvard.edu/pain/chiropractic-care-for-pain-relief
> "Two studies that have come out recently said that there is no evidence that the force or direction utilized in cervical manipulation reaches the threshold of stretching the arteries to the point that they can be damaged," he said, adding that professionals who perform neck adjustments apply force that is "no greater than what people can do in activities of daily life."
Overland added that neck manipulation is associated with many fewer stroke deaths than other common medical treatments for neck pain.
Neck manipulation is associated with about one death per 1 million people due to cervical artery dissection, he said.
By comparison, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause 153 stroke deaths per 1 million people, narcotic medications cause 53 stroke deaths per 1 million people, and spinal surgery of the neck causes 500 stroke deaths per 1 million people, Overland said.
"We are concerned that a statement like this can possibly create a fear in a patient, preventing them from making a choice of treatments that may in fact turn out to be the safest choice of all for their neck pain or headache," he said.

It is completely normal to have no symptoms and have bulging or herniated discs.
Doesn’t make it ideal, but certainly frequent enough that there doesn’t need to be specific history.
This is the same old boring shit we should not be wasting our money on. Duh massage, pt and manipulation help neck pain in the short term. We all know that.
What we need is more research looking into long term outcomes, and objective outcomes that aren't based on subjective reporting (like pain and disability).
This Moustafa study Demonstrates how the objective outcome of reduced forward head posture (via radiographs) had a more important and predictive effect on pain, disability, H-reflex (amplitude and latency as measured by direct needle), and pain medication use! over a two year period. The results were no different at short term than standard tissue work/rehab (ie the benefit of truly effective treatments cannot be discriminated in the short term, yes this should include surgeries).
Only long term outcomes and objective measurements are going to win us the big points with insurance and the world in general. This type of research is essentially meaningless and redundant.

SEO is a long-term strategy, and there are two kinds of optimization you can do: off-site and on-site. Here are some of them:
- Use a dedicated SEO plugin.
- Use a permalink that shows a clear description of your website.
- Put keywords in your headlines naturally. Actually, you'd want to put in keywords whenever you can, but you have to do it naturally and without keyword stuffing.
- Incorporate links where they fit naturally and point readers towards high-quality websites that already rank highly in SERPs.
- Make sure your website can be accessed on mobile easily and responsively.
- Optimize the images in your website. Adding optimized images can help you speed up your loading time and crawlers will look at information attached to images.
- Post and update frequently. This is related to the Google algorithm, which ranks frequent and recent updates. Updating old posts (1 - 2 years) can give your website a boost.
- Keep improving the quality of the content and performance of your website. You can use several tools for periodic checking, you can click here to learn more.
This is what people say about 10to8: "The free version of this appointment scheduler is better than most paid versions of other schedulers. The first week I used it, a client got to my booking page, booked their first session, paid for it, and received a reply - all without my involvement!"

Bring it up to your doctor and ask what they think / what you should do.

Tom Hyde was an instructor for Graston Technique and is one of the founders of FAKTR. That is an excellent book.
NAD but I have always loved these buckwheat pillows because they cushioned and support your neck without too much fluffiness, are moldable to any shape and always stay cool.
Chiro Essentials book. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Late reply but what're you doing for vestibular therapy? BTW right there with you and your doctor and inconclusive test circles/ dizzy symptoms/ chronic forward neck posture/ straight neck x-ray. Can't buy a denneroll outright as only Chiropractors are able to, but my Blair Chiro recommended this item which is comparable, just not as aggressive. I just started using it 3 times a day and do get relief while I'm on it. So think it's just one of those things that will take a while to fix.
There are hundreds of technique systems in chiropractic. It would be impossible to learn even just the basics of all of them during your career, let alone just your time in school. I find it is helpful to understand the basic premise and history of a particular technique before spending time diving into it. Read the introductory chapter in a textbook about a technique, or a journal article describing it. Casual explanations from those who practice it tend to be filled with bias without any substance.
For instance, I thought DNS was a bunch of ridiculous voodoo until I read a summary paper on DNS in sport. I was also wholly unimpressed with McKenzie until I read Treat Your Own Back by McKenzie himself. SOT sounded great because the guy who developed it was an engineer and purportedly based it on biomechanical principles. But it quickly became clear that the implementation did not follow sound logic.
When you understood the first principles the technique is based on, then you can more easily make a judgement on its value.
The only technique I’m aware of that has been completely invalidated is the Toftness Technique (illegal in some states). But many others are highly questionable (Koren Specific, Applied Kinesiology, Network). Nonetheless, they can be entertaining to learn about.
It is outdated now, but you can start with the book Technique Systems in Chiropractic from your school library.
I've been using a posture corrector, goes on under shirt and wear it most of the day. https://www.amazon.com/Posture-Corrector-Women-Men-Adjustable/dp/B07FKCNSV6/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1543440949&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=posture+corrector+for+men+darwin&psc=1
Brilliant! You really think a clean MRI and X-rays are not only contraindications but grounds to revoke a license to practice? How do you ever adjust anyone? In the absence of any logical reasoning, objective factual signs on imaging or subjective symptoms not only are you willing to give up but even whine and cry about those that have the common sense to do the right thing. Sorry I do not share your delusional fears. In this world there are two kinds of people, those that take action and those that look for reason not to take action obviously you are among the latter. Good thing the DC that saw James on one faithful Tuesday wasn't paralyzed by fear and took action because there was no good reason not to provide the care the patient needed. James had symptoms similar to those outlined above only more sever. Had the DC simply been afraid of the patient James would not be alive but instead the DC had faith in not only his own ability but also in the patients ability to function and heal.

Agreed. My friend showed me a similar thing and I almost automatically dismissed it. But instead of ACTUALLY holding up your chest it was basically a harness that buzzed either at intervals or whenever your posture would degrade past a certain point. Something along those lines, I forget. But I thought it was an interesting idea. It might actually still help support.. I’ll go find it. Now I need to know!
Edit: they have both! posture corrector W/buzz
The second one reminds me of black mirror for some reason.
This is the one I used. I think I got it for 50 bucks from my school's bookstore. I would recommend it even at this price--it was really helpful. Every answer also comes with an explanation for the right and wrong answers.
Take the part 1 questions at the start and record your answers. After you do all those, you can see which sections are your weakness. Then do all your review stuff and revisit the questions several weeks later (so that you forget the questions) and do it again. You'll notice improvements since you knew highlight areas to work on.

Similar to this pillow?
i know its on the expensive side, but it looks way more comfy than most of the other pillows ive seen out there.
I went to the chiro down the street this week and was pretty turned off. While i found out that I couldnt move my neck side to side worth a damn, he could not adequetely describe to me from the x-rays the actual ailment/issues so that i could fucking google it.
additionally, he immediately tried to sign me up for a 36 visit plan with an upfront investment and no discount over just paying a single visit at a time. To me this is used car salesmen sleezy.
Finally, he tried to sale me juice plus. Im a competitive body builder or was, and know all about nutrition. And these scam nutirtion systems are more or less made to rip off old ladies such as my mom lol, who always buys into it with 0 results
This looks pretty close
Hey Jordan, Glad to see you have a potential job lined up. I really hope that works out for you. Make sure to be honest and sincere with the owning doc when it comes to expectations and how long you plan on associating and that you do intend to start your own practice. Many of the docs I interviewed with when I told them I had an interest in my own practice some day looked away as they didn't want to spend the time training me in their clinic just so I could leave in a few years.
You wanted a good read about operating a practice, and I have two really great suggestions. Once is a free PDF by NCMIC (Widely known chiropractic malpractice insurer) located here: https://www.ncmic.com/webres/File/SIP%20Guide.pdf
The other is a book I read while in school. It was hard to grasp at first since I didn't have any experience in the field yet, but made it much more clear and easier when problems arose. The book is called "Up and Running, Opening a Chiropractic office" located here: http://www.amazon.com/Up-Running-Opening-Chiropractic-Office/dp/1930252706 . Best of luck in your future endeavors and always feel welcomed to drop a PM if you need something.
