Wow, thank you for the explanation! I been told by my chiropractor that I have pre degenerating disk on my lower back. He said it was due to my spine being misaligned, been spending soo much money that I don't have to get realined every week. I went home and looked up what my diagnosis was and freaked out. Thinking I would be disabled soon, or that I might need surgery when my disk depletes. I've watched your recent video today as well about herniated disks, definitely calmed my anxiety by a lot. I am 35, active woman, and not yet ready to be in a walker. Thanks Dr Davis, made my day way better!
That's what I'm here for! First rule of back pain is: "Don't Panic." You're young, sounds like you've got a good foundation of fitness, usually in these cases we just need to look at your life holistically (exercise, nutrition, stress, sleep...) and put together a solid plan. Let me know if I can help!
@@ShapeshiftWellness Thank you Doctor, definatlely always want to do things hollistically! Is there a video or type of stretches you recommend for this type of issue? Thank you for your time!
Glad you liked it. Honestly I don't even think it's people taking advantage of patients, I think these practitioners are just clinging onto an old paradigm and don't read current research. They really believe what they're saying, they just have their heads in the sand.
Hi doc, I hope you'll notice. I got injured my hand wherein I severely hit the thenar eminence part of my hand, I think I overstretch my muscle that make my hand to become like this 🤌 and I forcely open my hand. It was really severe pain especially on the spot that got hit. It was really painful i got bruise and I also experience i can't move my hand before Til now I'm suffering pain on my palm and on the part that got hit and there's discomfort on stretching fingers. Sometimes it hurts on dorsal when I stretch my fingers. Stiffness on metacarpal. But not as severe as before I'm diagnosed with ligamentous laxity. I'm doing hand grip exercise and I really don't know if it is okay to over exercise it I hope you'll notice what treatment could help to easily heal my injury? Do xray show misalignment? I really don't know if it misalign my bone I can feel that my bone is rubbing together and I can inside in my hand organ movement while I'm rotating my hand I always do hand stretch because of discomfort Thank you doc
Oh my god you’ll hate that video if you like NSA at all 😅 Network is such an absolute crock of 💩 it’s mind boggling they are allowed to make any of the claims they do.
Could it be that the joint is stuck in a certain position that the chiropractor describes as being left this or rotation that, ie wrong place within its range because its restricted or stuck, and the adjustment restores the full range of motion, not actually moves it from one static position to another static position ? That's my understanding of it, I think you may be missing representing what most chiropractors claim to do , I'm not a chiropractor by the way, but I do understand the mechanics of joints
I'm a chiropractor. I'm perfectly representing what many chiropractors claim. That said, the old model was the "bone out of place" theory which is what I'm debunking here. Most new chiropractors believe that they "fix restrictions of motion" in other words they take joints that don't move enough and help them move better. Research does show temporary improvements in range of motion after adjustments.
@ShapeshiftWellness agreed, I always explain to my patients exactly that, nothing out of place, adjustments get restrictions moving again, I've always explained it like that, I also think there is a lot more happening than the research shows, it works for me, especially with rib restrictions etc, I'm an osteopath, 20 plus years experience and still learning , but we have to be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water
If joints can't be mis aligned, is it the same for anterior pelvis, forward head position, rounded shoulders etc? If a person can't be out if alignment, is there then no such thing as bad posture?
Exactly. Static posture doesn't usually matter. What matters is your strength and ability to move through a full range of motion. What matters is that you actually do move your body in all directions every day.
@@ShapeshiftWellness Static posture does matter as over time bad posture can cause muscle imbalances and weaknesses which can impact your full range of motion. Forward head posture for example can lead to numerous problems such as pain and discomfort due to the increased strain on the muscles and ligaments of the neck and shoulders. This can also contribute to tension headaches. Also poor posture can sometimes lead to nerve impingement or irritation, which can cause radiating pain, numbness, or tingling sensations down the arms. So while it may not impact the joints it can definitely cause other issues.
@@agentfifteen Not true. I could easily cite 15+ studies showing no correlation between posture and pain, even long term. Can you cite anything to back up your claims?
@@ShapeshiftWellness Based on my own clinical observations, I can affirm that there is a noticeable strain and discomfort within the muscles of the cervical and upper thoracic regions when the head is sustained in a forward-leaning posture for an extended duration. Claiming static posture is insignificant would contradict the established consensus highlighting its substantial impact on health and well-being. I'm unable to post any links in the comment section as it will get removed by TH-cam but simply do a search on Google Scholar using keywords like "static posture and health" and "bad posture" to discover numerous studies underscoring the significance of correct posture or at least the avoidance of poor posture.
@@ShapeshiftWellness that sounds like you didnt like what they were saying, so you shut it all down. why care if you are sound and sure of your positions?
@@ShapeshiftWellness I clicked your video because I wanted to listen to someone on the opposite end of the discussion as I did with some of your peers. I stopped it the moment I realized you turned off comments. Take that for what it is.
The TH-cam comments section isn't conducive to honest discussion. It was turning into an echo chamber of people just burying their heads in the sand and name-calling. I'm not going to tolerate people on my channel resorting to name-calling and profanity when they lack a substantive argument. FYI the entire point of that video was simply to say that extreme diets are unnecessary for most people, and that in most cases both plant food and animal foods can be good or bad, depending on sourcing and processing. That's it.
@@ShapeshiftWellness exactly. You didn’t like some , maybe even most of what was said. In doing so you shut down all discourse. I appreciate you responding, but you are not someone I can expect to be objective. Thanks for your time.

I totally agree with this! Thanks for the reminder. I wish this knowledge were more common among therapists.
Glad it resonated with you! I definitely wish more clinicians were aware of and accepted this.
Been waiting for this one.
Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint!
@@ShapeshiftWellness loved it; organ transplant example was great.
I appreciate the simplified, down-to-earth explanation. How many practitioners take advantage of a patient's ignorance?

awesome video Dr. Davis! Can you do a video on your view of NSA (Network Spinal Analysis) ?
Oh my god you’ll hate that video if you like NSA at all 😅 Network is such an absolute crock of 💩 it’s mind boggling they are allowed to make any of the claims they do.

@@benohara284 I like the therapy I hate the explanation most people give.
@ShapeshiftWellness I hate that most patients don't care , just want to get better
You need a collab woth dr vonda whright! Love your work snd and i cant believe i didnt find you sooner!!❤

Money is probably why they don't give you accountably and a solid plan
I like your other videos but the cursing and condescending tone makes me feel you’re angry at me. As well as you seem passionate. And flustered
Lol sorry I do sometimes get rather passionate about this stuff, especially when other doctors are dropping the ball 😅
I love how you turned comments off completely on the carnivore diet short. Someone doesnt like opposing viewpoints.
It was a complete dumpster fire. There was zero intelligent debate. I love debate, I don't like trolls.
