Brainstemmed, I am going to have to intervene here.

Here at NeuroTalk we allow open discussion on the pros and cons of all treatments, so it is perfectly fine for those who have found benefit from chiropractic to say so, just as you are free to talk about the harm you suffered via your chiro

But what is not ok is to try to tell others they may not advocate for chiropractic when they have had benefit from it, just because you did not.
We obviously sympathize with the harm you suffered.
But your experience does not preclude that others have had very different experiences with chiro treatments.

And to also answer one point you made in your above post, yes, there are chiropractors who clearly tell patients they cannot help them. Mine (NUCCA/Atlas Orthagonal) is one such who turned away a friend I had referred due to her injuries requiring surgery to be corrected, not chiropracty.

Stating your negative experience is one thing, but then trying to suggest that your experience therefore negates the positive experience that others are sharing is another!

So again, please do not use the forums to try to stifle discussion by those who have had positive results with chiropractic.

this is a discussion about the Blair Technique.

if anyone has this done to them and it helps them, please step forward.

if chiros give relief to those of us that suffer in ways other than the Blair Technique, then good for them.

it finally hit me after it was too late...but this chiro told everyone "you might feel dizzy when i do this, so rest over there on the couch..." now i know why everyone was dizzy...

wtch the YouTube videos...you'll hear it there too...

trying to adjust c-1 is a difficult proposition...you are not able to feel it, therefore the chiro will have to guess where it is...

guess what is above and below c-1? please, look it up...

those that do the Blair Technique are irresponsible, period.

1) Why should you avoid high sugar diets, how do they affect the brain?

2) How long is a brain injury, such as hemorrhage, detectable through CT/MRI(i have a MRI scan next week, my accident was two months ago)?

3) Do you also experience moments where you feel like everything is almost good, and other moments where you are literally forced to take a rest?

4) Have you experienced that your awareness is reduced, even though the days before everything seemed ok?

5) Is there a possibility to worsen a concussion, without hitting the head again(such as fast movements during sleep)?

6) how are injuries of the upper neck detectable, through MRI?

7)Is there a risk of permanent damage when you strain your brain too much?

THIS is the first post in this thread and so THIS is what the discussion is about.

Please keep the discussion ON TOPIC.
thank you
