Can you actually fix this shit yourself or do you have to see a chiropractor?

alright jesus christ people we get it you listened to joe rogan and hopped on the chiropractor hate bandwagon just shut the fuck up already

A chiropractor that knows what he's doing (the guy I go to is probably 70+ years old in Red Deer) definitely helps with the process.. but being conscious about it and continually correcting your posture is what completely fixes it.

The chiropractor helps, it's you who must maintain it.

i'm a PT actually, and i think joe rogan is a dumb cunt. chiros give people strokes with cervical manipulations. PT's don't.

Not arguing that physical therapists aren't more beneficial in the long-term, but as far as the manipulations themselves, no, they aren't the same. The immediate relief I have felt after certain adjustments at the chiropractor have been incomparable to my PT visits.

>t. someone who has been to both a PT and chiropractor more than once

Will doing regular strenght exercises that strenghen your upper back also help? Or does it now play any role?

>listened to joe rogan
People do this?

>PT shitting on chiropractor
laughing my fucking ass off bro, you got a sheet of stretches I should do?

I second this fella, I had to improve my posture for singing and it took months of catching myself any time I noticed my hips forward. In work, walking around, any time at all. Probably took about 6 months but now people use my posture as a good example

so if we can all agree that physio is more beneficial in the long run, then why are we still seeing chiropractors? delayed gratification is a real sumbitch, i suppose.

cervical extension and stretching your sternocleidomastoids, traps and levator scapulae should be your jumping off point. doesn't hurt to work your shoulder adductors and general back strengthening. make sure that whenever you're doing face pulls or lat pulldowns or whatever the fuck you do, that you also "pinch" your shoulder blades together at the end of the motion. most people are only doing half of any given back exercise because they neglect this part of the movement.

yeah, see above, dickhead. learn to help yourself instead of cucking yourself into a dependent relationship with a quack.

ITT: People who think chiros are anything more than "feel good" people. Have fun twirling magnets around your head to release all of the negative toxins and energy.

don't forget to wear your power bracelets am i right

mobility stretches fixed my shit

> tfw sitting literally like pic related as i type this

that stretch is what my physiotherapist told me to do

Golem get ye gone

when i noticed it i started doing more back extercises and having a better posture, it's working really really well

This is a relief, my nerd neck doesn't seem that bad.

All science is a scam and you can't prove me wrong. All of it. Everything. It's based on nothing but belief.

This is true

Another PT here to shit of chiropractors.
Unless the bone has deformed, yes you can fix it yourself.
I have two clients who have kyphosis, one who has developed a slump due to over developing their muscles through work, pulling the shoulders forward.
Strengthening the muscles of the upper back and shoulders will counter this.
The other is old age/posture, same remedy but with stretching as well.

You don't need a chiropractor or a PT, just research and learn to fix your shit yourself.
