A surgeon that believes surgery should be the last resort... that's called integrity boys and girls.
You sound like a douchebag!
@@stephencarlsbad I think he was being genuine, but this is pretty standard for surgeons as all surgeries carry risk. Spine surgery is one of the more risky ones and often doesn't relieve the pain the patient had before surgery.
The surgical criteria is organ/system specific and so relative. Of course there are some conditions which cannot be treated without surgery like certain emergency pathologies, (i.e. appendicitis, it has previously been treated conservatively [with antibiotics] resulting in high rates of relapse), there are other conditions like certain spine pathologies which not necessarily need surgical treatment as Dr Webb points, in medicine decisions are based on a mix between strong evidence (which in turn results in the making of scales and decision orienting algorithms) and the own medical criterion of each doctor and specialist based on professional experience (empiricism).
Certainly there are unethical professionals in medicine as in any profession and job, but generally decision making in medicine is much more complex than non-healthcare professional population can fully understand and thus they should avoid approving or deprecating the medical criteria. When in doubt and health is not acutely compromised, one can always reach out for different medical opinions.
@@stephencarlsbad lol no, I've met too many people that get pushed into surgery by doctors who don't care enough to refer them to less invasive treatment options beforehand.
Both my neurosurgeons were cautious about surgery. First said put it off as long as you can and exercise to keep your core tight, holding the broken bones in place as best you can. Second met with me 3 times to go over risks and possible outcomes before I booked the surgery, that was 8.5 years later.
I'm in much less pain now and have better range of motion than I have for 2 years.
"I'm not an expert, I'm just just a surgeon."
Sounds like an expert to me.
he said he wasnt an expert in chiropracty
He has to say he’s not an expert for all the TH-cam and internet doctors, philosophers, politicians, etc...
He doesn't like y strap because it's the competition. The fact is that it works and surgery sucks.
hes not a expert in that y thing that looks super dangerous,as a scientest he is honest to say he doesnt know alot about it and cant find it helps anyone. That adjustment looks like a car wreck..Chiros are good for simple adjustments but there not doctors,they dont spend one day in medical school. They cant write scripts or order tests like mris,thats a huge clue...
@@papayaman78 except theres no science based evidence that shows that it does work.
"I'm JUST a surgeon". Humility as powerful as it gets.
Thanks! 🙏🏾
This Doc is great. Very humble. Manipulations, injections, stretches, and exercises are all great but you need to change the movement pattern causing the issue or else you’ll be getting “y-strapped” forever!
And yet chiropractors want you to call them "doctors" even though it's a pseudoscience that's been created by a scam artist...
Yeah, it is pretty obvious that this is just temporary relief. It sure works, but without muscle training it won't have any lasting effect. People having back problems can truly benefit from a tailored muscle training plan by a professional trainer, and sleeping on their back on a firm bed. I know that it can be quite painful and very hard for such people to sleep on their back on a firm bed, and even more painful to push on with muscle training, but sometimes you need to have perseverence to fix a problem. These 'adjustments' aren't really a solution. And yeah, where and how you sleep is very very important. You spend 1/3rd of your life on a bed, it has tremendous effect on your posture and muscles, so you better make it count.
Youre an idiot. Hes saying hes not a chiro
Love how he said "I am just a surgeon". No ego he just gives you his honest opinion.
Nuts - there is plenty of ego in his presentations. The fact he is on TH-cam says a lot in itself. Do not mistake a soft sell, and false modesty, as a proof of medical competence. I sought multiple second opinions, and believe, on balance, he is gravely mistaken. The fact he comes off as a nice guy (he really does) does not mean he is medically correct or competent. As for ego, make no mistake - he holds represents himself as an expert we should trust - and there is plenty of ego (as well as confidence) in that! Truly modest doctors do not have TH-cam channels to promote their business. At least that is just MY take. Your mileage may vary. TT
@@JR-lx8nn Lol. Yeah mate I don't think he needs to drum up business. It's great that professionals like him are willing to provide free information instead of charging for every minute of their time. He's presented information which everybody can research and verify. You're a random troll who has provided no information and we're suppose to just trust you? Pffttt.
I am not trolling, merely stating my opinion and reaction to his presentation. I simply do not trust his advice. Besides, given the available information, you have no more credibility to comment than I do!
Parenthetically, I AM a retired med malpractice attorney with a real measure of experience handling back injury cases and many years experience cross examining and assessing the credibility of expert medical witnesses, so I will continue to rely on my assessment. Nevertheless, I appreciate your polite and straight forward comment sticking up for him. My own bottom line: I would seek advice and treatment from another physician. TT
I trust this guy more: th-cam.com/video/BUm3AMFns8s/w-d-xo.html
@@JR-lx8nn For a lawyer your argument is lacking. My comments is about the information available. I did not endorse his information. I'll try my opinion a different way. Given the information provided, the YT provides more information then you do. So, is his information more credible or yours? Since you have not provided any information to challenge what he says and since I have no way of verifying your credentials, then I would go with the YTuber.
@@JR-lx8nn btw, thanks for the yt link. That was really interesting.
A doc that says his profession should be “last resort” has my trust. Subscribed.
Well, as a surgeon he knows that every surgery is risky, and specially neck surgery, which in some cases cannot guarantee it will solve the problem for good. All good doctors want their patients to heal without thinking if it is better or worse for them.
Hell him saying that ENSURES HE won’t have my trust Why do Ppl always respond to this trite phrase and the lies that accompany it? Insurance requires u to go conservative trmt first and these ORTHOPEDISTS get paid per procedure They generally r the highest paid and make an average of 400k plus each yr. I know an ortho that made 850k one year from cervical fusions ONLY. They all start out with this but in the end these ppl make a ton of money off CUTTING ppl. U honestly believe that many don’t learn to be biased in favor of surgery ? It’s clear u don’t have a clue how HC nowadays works
Make sure to only trust a doctor with whatever is in their field. Don’t go asking this guy for advice on climate change.

Much respect.
@@pecan11 He literally studies the spine for a living. Hes qualified to speak on the spine. Shut the fuck up dumbass.
@@pecan11 lmao imagine being as irrational and delusional as you are being right now. Surgeons have a much bigger impact on the body and know it much better than a chiropractor. Hence why they make 10x as much money. Just calm down and take a deep breathe.

Lmaaaaao
I met a guy several year ago....he told me he was scheduled for back surgery with his massive back pain that he had.....then he told me he tried one of those incline benches ....he said after he was on bench for a bit something popped in his back and he had instant relief and never had that back surgery.
So many Cryo recommend surgery because they get comision.
@@sharpmindschannel Aha...the plot thickens....seems like most people are all about the $$$$...!
Anecdotes.
“I’m not a professional, I’m just a surgeon”. That’s like saying I’m not a basketball player, I just play in the NBA.
😂😂😂 that’s a fact but I think he’s talking bout not a professional at chiropractics
I can’t hoop, I’m just a 5 time MVP
That’s like saying I’m not a professional in playing basketball, in just the coach. It’s related but he couldn’t adjust the spine well if he tried.
I think the guy is actually right, he is a surgeon but not a chiropractor. There's a difference.
He did not say he is not a professional,He said he is not an expert meaning in chiropractic therapy.
What if someone did this to big Ed from 90 day fiancé and it popped his head out of his chest? That would be the loudest pop in the history of chiropractic.
death for sure
He gonna finally be taller than Rose.
Ooohhhh, wowww😂😂😂you wrong for that lmao😝😜
Kung fu Benny top 5 comment all time
Hahaha
I appreciate your honesty. For a surgeon to say, “surgery is always a last resort” to me is a sign of sincerity.
But after this I realize his girlfriend is a chiropractor and does not want to offend her.. this adjustment is absolute b*******..
@@davidrodgers5558 : Actually no. No doctor knows about every medical procedure. Eastern doctors swear by acupuncture and holistic medicine. They use plants and acupuncture along with medicine. It works. Western doctors rely on scientific and medical studies on something working. Some don't believe in plants while others believe a plant based diet is the most beneficial to longevity. They simply don't know.
@@Tippy2forU lol the western scientific method has five errors of logic. Do u know what the definition of science is? It's just the study of what is. Your statement was horrible and I want u to understand what American doctors need, and that is to be brought to trial for harming so many people as a group. No single individual in that group should go without consequences because the group would not function without its individuals.
Yea it's easy to say that, and they know it's what everybody wants them to say...
I am also a spine surgeon. The statement "surgery is always a last resort" is fundamentally wrong.
After analysing thousands of cases worldwide and discussing in hundreds of fora, analysing publications & seeking expert opinions, we formulate broad guidelines for treating various spine conditions scientifically.
Some conditions merit definitive surgery, for some there are relative indications(need) and for others, operative procedures are not recommended. And the guidelines are always flexible and open to correction to account for individual patient's needs and variations.
So there is no question of "last resort"
Anybody can talk. But to do real and proper spine surgery by following proven guidelines, it takes years of hard training and extensive surgical exposure
I had a car accident about 20 yrs ago. I was a young woman, athletic, no issues. After that car accident I had such pain in my tailbone I could barely sit. Finally I broke down from the pain and tried a chiropractor. I think I went to about 4 sessions. Immediately after the first session I felt absolute relief. I only did four sessions because I was fixed. I have not had any issues with my back since.
I had my osteopathic doctor tell me a car accident is unexpected traction in the wrong direction and force.
That's incredible

Funny how that statement migrated to a different skillset sounds ludicrous isn't it?
There’s no such thing as a rocket scientist only aerospace engineers
“You should try all non-operative measures before getting back surgery” this is what makes him a great doctor. You actually care about the well being of your patients and are not concerned with tinkering with every patient just to make a paycheck. I wish you the best in your endeavors! Stay humble and true to what is right
Do you have any government clinics in America? Is all medicine commercial.
I honestly thought chiropractors and acupuncturist stuff was just hearsay type shit. I hurt my back during one of my Deployments and for the better part of a year I had excruciating back pain, muscle spasms, complete loss of range of motion and everything. No one would see me but one doctor.
She did the whole 9 yards with electro acupuncture, and back/neck cracking. After a few visits I actually almost cried, I couldn't believe it when I realized I wasn't hurting anymore. Sure it's sore just due to the nature of my job, but the excruciating pain was gone! I'll always standby them now
@Dominic Hutchison Yes to what?
@@iamcleaver6854 your question
@@Chanhee So do you or do you not?
when someone recognizes their limits and can say ‘I don’t know’ it immediately makes me trust them
I agree. Ideally there's a balance of actual knowledge and humility when it comes to getting surgery though haha

Yes
I'm still going with chiropractics is junk science.
Hahah This guy could lie to your face and u would still say u trust him
I absolutely LOVE the tone of this video. If we could get more people weighing in so expertly, thoughtfully, and respectfully on all health questions, the world would be a much much better place. It's genuinely uplifting simply to listen to Dr. Webb. Cheers Sir and thank you for this helpful video.
If you see someone attempting the Y strap alone in a room via the ceiling, it is not going to work. Save that person please.
You stole my funny bone.
@The Revenant I'm sorry to hear that mate. I guess we all know someone close to us who took their own life. Let's check on our friends every now and then and hope for the best.
I just watched tiktok video of a elderly women with scoliosis and the chiropractor preformed this on her. She was not relieved and at the very end you can tell she isn't the same. Chiropractors preform malpractice.
@@ScreamsOfSeason it may be she has bad posture for long and uncomfortable with the proper right posture. Quite a common thing apparently it seems to everyone of us. Stand, sit, sleep in an incorrect posture.
I'm guilty of the incorrect posture and have undergone surgery already. Need plenty of work to strengthen my back now.
I tried the Y-Strap manipulation on myself, on the ceiling....still trying to figure out why the cops were called..
The o strap works better. Try from a celliling fan, or large tree branch.
🤣🤣🤣
Oof
😂😂😂
Damn didn't expect this when i wondered in here 😂😂😂
As a chiropractor myself, while I avoid this particular version of spinal manipulation, I commend you for your integrity, open mindedness, and willingness to learn about a topic that you are far too humble about-you, sir, are an expert if I have ever seen one. Much respect.
Thanks doc! I appreciate it!!
Why do you avoid??
@@sonyacurti He evidently doesn’t feel comfortable about the technique
@@antoniowebbmd He's not a doc though, is he....
Bow-chicka-wow-wow LMAO
I love that you as a surgeon said try everything before surgery. Rolfing, Rossiter, chiropractors, yoga, inversion tables there are lots of things to try before surgery.
Recommending potentially harmful pseudo-science like chiropractic is rather dangerous advice.
I agree with him that you shouldn't just try to fix your issues with surgery.
But if you go to chiropractor, you might need surgery for something even more severe than what you came to them for.

@@johnhall3028 ...or you're just weak minded and easily impressed.
Being a chiropractor and surgeon are two different skills and schools . Both focus on the body but are not the same
@@walmanthegreat of course. Being a chiropractor means that you scam people, while as a surgeon you actually help people. A simple distinction.
According to you
The official medical term for the "y-strap" is actually the ringdinger

Goku : i am not that strong but... let me try ultra instinct :)
From a scholarly perspective he has to say that. This video is largely just his opinion on the matter and should be treated as opinion, not fact.
I am a chiropractor of over 40 years. It's very refreshing to hear a professional talk with such respect and keep open mind about patient's needs. I do not use the "Y" strap because I think it is too aggressive for patients. I believe in treating patients with the idea "what would I do if I were that person". I have a really good working relationship with Orthopedic surgeons (and Neurosurgeons) which have good respect for me. I agree totally with your outlook and opinions and Thank You!
Thank you!!

Orthopedic surgeon online: ''I'm not expert, I'm just a spine surgeon''
Many online chiropractors: ''I have all the answers!''
@gdbiw86 Chiropractors do not hold medical degrees, so they aren’t medical doctors. They do have extensive training in chiropractic care and are licensed practitioners.
@gdbiw86 they are not doctors
Chiropractors are fake news
@gdbiw86 actually his joke is meh, but after I saw people like you got triggered, I rate it A-.
I had a chiropractor tell me that chiropractics could cure my severe unexplained high blood pressure that i have had for over 20 years with these bullshit adjustments, the fact is that most of them are quacks like this, and if they want to ever be taken even remotely serious, they themselves need to root these people out and kick them out and revoke their licenses. But they won't do this. (I had many adjustments and it did absolutely nothing for my high blood pressure, complete and utter waste of money and also did nothing for my lower back pain) Chiropractors are on par with massage therapists, that is all, maybe it is relaxing to some people similar to a massage, nothing more. I'd rather be on pills the rest of my life than suffer through one more of these absolute bozo's for one more second.
It's very refreshing to see a doctor who is not arrogant enough to believe that because he has a medical degree he knows everything in every field. Thank you for your humility and intelligent dialogue
There are actually a lot of well educated people that have a certain "high" degree and still think that they aren't good in it.
There's even a term for that: impostor syndrome
@@jan49_ A spine surgeon learns zero techniques in the ancient art of spine manipulation. Because they are different things.
Here’s an old work comp joke: How many chiropractors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Just one, but it takes seven visits.
lol
I like it.
And yet it’s still 1/3 the price.
LMAO
Health and well being is a lifestyle. WAH let’s spend 20k for a cervical neck fusion but oh my god! DONT ever consider spending $1000 like I do for a full years worth of regular adjustments There is NO QUICK FIX surgery is not the answer most of the time!
So I had a y-strap done in Tampa and it helped me tremendously!!! I was told at 19 to have major surgery but I declined. It’s been immensely better since the y-strap doctor helped me
How many times did you have the adjustment? Do you have to have future adjustments regularly?
But it's a sudden movement and might cause injury. Physiotherapists work with traction method, which is pulling the neck slowly for longer periods of time and in regular sessions. Much safer and works much more efficiently and has lasting results. Speaking as a patient who experienced both and did his own research for himself.
A chiropractor isn't an expert. An "adjustment" like this can sever your arteries and kill you.
He says the skull will not detach from the spine, that would be my main concern getting a quick jerk like this.
That aside I guess it should work pretty good.
Myself I went for decades with things out of line and having a bleeding disc. Other people I knew had similar problems and had surgeries of various kinds, some of them rather ' FrankensteinIan '.
I opted for the ' no ' surgery and after many decades of limping through life I got a thorough adjustment by a man that was not even professional chiropctor.
That was in the 1990s, now at 68 my back has finally healed to where it is better in my 60s than it was in my 20s.
Spending the last 20 years at an easier - no heavy lifting - job even my bleeding disc has healed.
I started off going to a ' flashy '
Chiropractor my mom recommended, but he never helped the main area of concern so it turned me off of chiropractors
@@michaelszczys8316 Skull detachment would be rather extrem. The kind of injury I would expect from such a procedure is torn back muscles and in extreme cases nerve damage. But skull detachment? Not in a million years!
Okay, he wasn’t saying no. He was saying not everybody needs the spinal decompression. Sounds reasonable and balanced.

I admire him, his training, and all he does with his motivational and inspirational speaking. As ANOTHER qualified expert (and by study and experience in all aspects of medicine, as my esteemed colleague has, in addition to chiropractic, maybe more qualified to provide a balanced view on such a topic as spinal adjustments/manipulation than someone who does not have that training) I also agree not everyone needs this type of decompression, I merely pointed out there are a lot more studies that my colleague had not seen.

There is a saying "The more you learn, the more you realise how much you don't know". Dr Webb shows an admirable humility, showing he has learnt that lesson.
Not just any Surgeon a spinal surgeon like 15 years of schooing before you even start cutting on live people. Chiropractor get his degree online 2 week course buys a Y strap off Amazon and gets his wife to film with her iPhone.
"I'm just a surgeon", gotta love his humility
Thanks!
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. What is your opinion on spinal decompression? Like mechanical traction tables and such?
There are only about 500,000 patient in US hospitals on a given day AND every day hundreds are killed by avoidable MEDICAL errors, so opinions about safety by any MD need to be held in cautious regard - I didn't see hundreds of honest but error prone MD's confess to their deadly mistakes yesterday did YOU?
@@garyswann3292 Better - " Hey Surgeon - What do surgeons think about the 700 a day that die in US hospitals from mistakes and avoidable errors? Ever cover up for some error prone colleagues ?
@Owen Flibbert thank you for saying it out for the rest of us. What a good ball. Who trolls a doctor trying to help you.
I have been adjusted this way and it changed my life. After two auto accidents my neck was a mess , numbing in hands, weakness in arms and hands and I tried everything. PT , regular chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage. Three y-strap maneuvers and I’m symptom free.
Might not be for everyone but it worked for me. It was my last resort before surgery.
Awesome 🎉 thank God 😊
I know this works 100%!
Nice
I personally had this done to me, I felt as if my airways were clogged and once I had it done, my airways automatically opened up and I felt more awake and I've been able to sleep better and breathe better.
I think this is amazing feeling. But I'm wondering do you still feel 'opened up' or things going back to old condition?
@@jerkito22 let me guess, you used zantac for heartburn?
Placebo
George probably not
My guess is that the decompression allows your ribs to move into proper placement, which would make it easier for both the diaphragm and lungs to function with ease. But, like this dude, I am not a professional. Just giving my thoughts. I've been seeing a chiropractor each week for more than a year now and it has brought a lot of benefits, including vastly improved posture, which has reduced the strain on my low back! :D Yay for chiropractic care!
You know he's serious because his names embroidered.
@Fau Q He is a fellow.... yeah he knows his shit.
Fau Q You’re paying way too much for embroidery. Who’s your embroidery guy?
@@YeNZeC He's still a kid, as far as doctors go, however, he can probably do most of his own surgeries at this point. He knows what he's talking about. Also, I think he has good instincts. "Let's try other things before I flay you open" is not how all surgeons are. Also, a lot of MD's think Chiro is just like... always bad. He's definitely a younger practitioner educated in a different generation of practitioners.
Rodney Mills He’s a surgical fellow which means he’s already a full licensed MD who’s finished a residency
I have a colleague that is a dumb fuck but has her name embroidered. And we're still on anatomy...
“I’m not an expert “ even though he’s a highly educated, highly trained spinal surgeon, lol. I do commend his humility :)
Not an expert in “chiropractic medicine”

Spinal Surgeon, therefore, he's into surgery, not into chiropractic and natural medicine...
@@antoniowebbmd - I dont know why they say medicine, because its not actually medication they are prescribing, but in fact a procedure.
So they should call it "Chiropractic Procedure".

This man is a true professional doctor that actually cares for the patient and not out to get rich no matter what! We need more guys like him in the health industry! Doc Adams would be proud of you!
"not every pacient is candidate for these type of manipulation" THANK YOU!!! that's my main issue with Dr. Cipriano's videos, he spends all this time interviewing them before the adjustments but then he just repeats the exact same procedure to each and every one of them.
He obviously loves the money he makes through his videos. He’s the only chiropractor on yt that i can’t take serious, ugh with his extremely unnecessary thumbnails.
Most chiropractors have a copy and paste routine.
He’s all about views.
@@asmrlacedwithpearls4310 I noticed that too! Babbling all this junk and then the same rigmarole for everybody.
That's why i like the precision of Gonstead chiropractors, they try to fix the specific area throwing everything else out of whack rather than running every patient through the gauntlet.

A Y-strap caused my mom to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage 6 hours after she got it done. It was a very well known and successful chiropractor. She almost didn’t make it. 1/3 of people with subarachnoid hemorrhages die, another 1/3 will survive with permanent brain damage, and the last 1/3 will survive with little to some brain activity damage. This type of brain bleed has occurred many times to patients after a Y strap or neck adjustment. Please, be careful and consider carefully what risks you’re willing to take.
Edit: I didn’t expect all the responses to my comment, but I’m glad the info is reaching people! My mom made a full physical recovery (she’s only 46) but has lasting brain damage with effects to motor control, memory, and balance. Around 30-40% of people with this type of brain hemorrhage die. She was in the hospital for months when this happened and my family and I were too focused on caring for her instead of starting a lawsuit - my dad requested a refund for what she paid that day, and told the chiropractor what happened. The chiropractor did feel bad, but said he knew it was a risk (though a small percentage) and knew others that had brain bleeds after neck adjustments. If there’s any message to take away from this situation, I’m not saying to ban chiropractic practices entirely if it’s helpful to you, but please do not ever let someone manipulate your neck or put you in a position that compromises your spinal cord.
Is she ok now ? We need an update
That is awful. So sorry. Glad I read this.
Yeah and I bet they acted like it wasn't related to what they did to her at all too.

Hahaha! Nah they do it on all types, they've just realized that only the yoga booty gets the TH-cam views. I've seen an Italian chiropractor do adjustments on what I can only describe as the most beautiful women I've ever seen, but yeah, it's basically for the views, it's like an advertisement for their practice I guess you could say
Right? I feel like I need an adjustment but I’m not a twenty something female that lives in workout pants.
🤣🤣🤣👍
I have watched a series following one gentleman through his recovery. He has had a lot of hard knocks in his life, which led him to being unable to move his head even slightly for something like 20 years. He was in a very bad way, but his chiropractor (the one in the video with natural wood baseboards, white painted brick and right hand door), was very careful with him. He spent about half of the session attacking his inflammation with a massage gun. The other half was more traditional adjustments. He only used the y strap 2-3 times and is constantly checking up on them and how they feel. His TH-cam videos also allow him to offer his services for free to those who needed them the most. the way he moves around the patient, handles his tools and talks to the patient, he clearly knows his craft and cares deeply about the well being of the patient. My point is, he has done a world of good for his patients, and the y strap is another tool for helping patients. It may not be right foe some as you say, but others, it can do a world of good.
Like the old saying, you need the right tool for the right job. I have no first hand knowledge but from what I see the Y strap seems useful for some cases, probably not for all.

You are the GOAT
As a chiropractor for over 28 years I've used many different techniques to adjust the spine. I don't use this one because I think it's too harsh and is by no means "gentle". By the way, we call them "adjustments" because the word "manipulation" has too much of a negative connotation. I do applaud this doctor's objectivity. He's far more open minded than most.
As a chiropractor I don’t perform these types of adjustments but I must commend you for your very honest and fair assessment of the procedure. You sir are a true professional!
Sorry for my bad english.. so why as a chiropractor you learned a Y-Strap?
He didn't really assess it all that much. He gave a rough overview of what the procedure was, and then gave a waffling non-opinion where he essentially took no side, admitting that he didn't know enough about it. I'm surprised that this video would satisfy you, considering that you're a chiropractor.
Maybe if you don't perform this procedure, this sort of slightly dismissive attitude would be in line with your opinion that you shouldn't perform it. In that respect, I can understand why it would seem like a fair assessment to you.
Why? Personal reasons or not trained?
@@BasedChad1 nobody is trained in the Y-strap. It’s an offshoot of the Ring Dinger which is also not taught in schools.
You are not a real doctor. Need to update your profile name, bud.
*Disclaimer- Chiropractor here
This Doc is an incredibly well balanced observer. If I ever required a back surgery, he would be the guy I choose. You are a credit to your profession and yourself. Please keep doing the good work. Your knowledge and expertise are above and beyond.
As a chiropractor, I get asked weekly on whether I perform the Y strap adjustment from patients who have been spending a little too much time on TikTok and youtube. My answer is always: "I wouldn't perform it on my Mum or my wife, put it that way". There are several reasons for this:
1) I believe it is excessively forceful. It is not a high velocity, low amplitude adjustment. the stress it places on the cervical tissues in my opinion are too great.
2) This adjustment is not specific. An adjustment should be very controlled. It should be targeted to the specific joint requiring treatment, with a specific amplitude and velocity. This adjustment is a hail mary. You have zero control over what is actually adjusted and by how much. This would be the equivalent of Dr Webb choosing a segment to operate on by Eenie Meenie, Miney Mo.
3) I agree with the Doc here- it is a viral trend at most, and should not be common place in any DC's toolkit of techniques.
Yes, there is no evidence to support this, but here's my opinion on research and manual therapy (including chiro, physio, massage etc).
4a) It is near on impossible to deliver placebo manual therapy. I can't give a sham adjustment, or sham soft tissue therapy without the patient and myself knowing. This makes a triple blinded
RCT not possible. As a result, our quality of evidence will always be low.
4b) Funding. The government won't fund manual therapy research- and lets face it, there is far more relevant research to be done- cancers, diabetes, heart disease, covid etc. This is where the
time and $ should go anyway. There are no corporation i.e drug companies who will fund the research. When a pharma company puts a drug to trial, and it is a success, they make a lot of
money selling said drug. They have a product at the end that returns profit. These companies have nothing to sell with manual therapy- it is not an investment for them. They will not
benefit in any way, shape or form. The only people who would fund research, is the manual therapists themselves- and this just doesn't get done, likely because it is very difficult to study
and not financially rewarding. i.e wage in private practice would be 4x+ that of a researcher. And lets face it, we become practitioners to help people, not sit in a lab. As a result, the
quantity of evidence will always be low.
I find gentle cervical traction using a towel (slow and steady, no manipulation) gives great relief in a non-invasive manner.
As a chronic pain patient due to chronic C1 subluxation (last laser guided xray had C1 at 28 degree angle), I *wish* more funding would be available for manual therapy research. Especially since insurance pays so little in allotted visits. My upper cervical chiropractor is the only reason I am not using narcotic pain medication. Not all are so lucky.
Interesting information
Also a DC. I would never do a y strap for a lot of the same reasons. Also like to add I feel a lot of these patients get over adjusted which is putting the system into a neurogenic shock.
Very well put. You're the kind of Manual Therapist I'd lie on the table(?) for. 😄
You sound like a very sensible chiropractor.
TH-cam suggested me this video out of nowhere and I’m glad it did. I loved this doctor’s honesty and humility. He sounds like a nice professional!
I think medical school is probably a good place to learn just how much you don't know.
There is also another channel. Dr. Rowe he talks more about deep tissue things
I am pro chiropractic care, and your response is the most intelligent I have heard so far. My daughter after 11 months of age, going to specialists, neurosurgeons, therapists etc, none of them could help her sit up on her own, nor could they find a reason why she couldn't sit up on her own. After her first chiropractic manipulation, I brought her home and sat her up, for the first time ever, she didn't just fall over and she was smiling instead of crying. Before this visit, her most comfortable position was on her back only. Thank you for not slamming chiropractic care.
The fact that you are so respectful about chiropractors makes me trust you so much more. Some doctors are really rude about it or dismiss it as nonsense which is really unhelpful. You're actually giving us the information and evidence.👏🏼
From a student's perspective this bloke's ideal of how treatments should be undergone in a multidisciplinary setting is examplary. The rationale, and objective assessment only shows his respect for another person's scope of practice.
@I used to be liberal I`m sorry examples? There is no evidenced-based application of chiropractic “medicine”. I had two patients come into A&E with cauda equina syndrome that had been seeing a chiropractor for 4 WEEKS and had been told by their chiropractor that they could “heal” this with manipulation... one had a persistent sensorimotor deficit and another urinary retention and faecal incontinence due to spinal cord injury.
@@chrismarshall3063 chiropractors aren't useless. You people think dr. Joseph is the only chiropractor. There is other chiropractors. Hell one of them you can search up he has fixed fluids stuck in places, dislocated bones, spinal re adjustments. It's just they are in a different field of work. They cant fix what you heal but they can fix spines and anything dealing with bones without it costing a fuckton of money and a week long procedure. Sure they aren't doctors like you but they still help. Dont group all chiropractors together.
@@zwabwaguette234 I’m not sure what you mean by fluids stuck in wrong places? As with dislocated bones, chiropractors are NOT who you want to be reducing these. They’re not medically trained. Go to A&E. as for spinal readjustment, it is undeniable pseudoscience. I do “heal” spines especially when they have medical/surgical issues. Chiros don’t heal anything other than if your illness is having too much money for sense. As I said I’ve had two people permanently neurologically impaired due to chiros. Also in my opinion doing a PhD and calling yourself “Dr” as a chiropractor is deceiving the lay person into thinking you’re more qualified than you actually are.
Unfortunately he neglected to mention some of the rather serious potential complications of neck manipulation. I have no issue with people seeking physical therapy with a PT or a chiropractor but don’t let them near your neck and don’t go to anyone who claims they can cure conditions of any kind.
So I actually went to the guy who uses the strap in this video. I had chronic back pain from pest control. I’ve been to a chiropractor before but the y strap was the only thing that Actually fixed my back problems. I only did it once and I havnt had pain since. For me the y strap hurt like heck in the moment And I was sore for the next two days but It literally fixed my chronic pain. Definitely glad I did it 😂
Didn't fix anything, the reason you feel better is because after the Y strap, it caused more compensations , you may feel better but it's only temporary.
@@mikel7732 nope, its been two years haven't had problems since
@@TitoTheRaccoon a buddy of mine had an accident sparring . They said they he needed surgery, but whent to a chrio Y strap he never had a problem since. Its been 4 years.
@@TitoTheRaccoon I can attest to this, I had severe back ache and neck and back spasms that just wouldn't go away even with medications and physical therapy. 2 sessions at the chiropractor with full body and Y strap adjustment and I've never felt pain again
@@saraibrahim2614 I'm glad you "feel" better, but young people recover quickly from injuries, Y strap didn't fix what you think is fixed, it actually caused un-needed injury, when you have an injury your spine creates compensations to counter it, it only covers up your symptoms temporarily. If you did this on an old patient in severe back pain, it wouldn't be as forgiving versus a young patient like yourself, the videos are mostly of young patients. I believe in chiropractic, just not Y strap or ring dingers.
Im a chiropractor and i find the amount of force being used in these adjustments a bit concerning. In Australia we were taught to try an dbe as specific as possible to where you deliver the force of an adjustment. All the patients in these videos looked young and healthy with relatively mobile necks so i feel there were probably safer alternative adjustments that could have been used. I feel this kind of video (meaning the Y adjustment videos, not Dr webbs video) on the internet are just for the chiropractors own benefit/marketing/ego and have less to do with the patients health. I should add i haven't seen any research on the efficacy or safety of this adjustment nor have i spoken to any patients or chiropractors who have received/used this adjustment who knows, maybe its gold for some neck conditions.
James Hooker i once had this done and i ended up going to phisiotherapy after because i got my back messed up, just minutes after i started having a lot of pain when turning my neck and in my thorax
Marielle Garnier Did you get better? :(
I have some issues with my connective tissues (autoimmune) and my joints tend to displace easier than your average patient. I see my chiropractor weekly and we use a traction manipulation only when I start to have numbing and tingling in my extremities. Traction works every time for that specific issue, but my chiropractor doesn't recommend it to every patient, nor do we do it more than once every couple of months because he feels it may be too aggressive on my connective tissues (obviously that reasoning is case specific).
I am one of the lucky ones in the USA where my chiropractor and MD actually work hand in hand to treat me and each other respects the other professional. My chiropractor has actually caught on to more autoimmune flare-ups/attacks than my MD has (probably because he has had the ability to see me more often). I am grateful to both practices.
Just thought I'd share my experiences with it.
@@G3NZC0R1LY she probably saw it on TH-cam and got it done by her friend
You know what else every Australian doctor/chiropractor/physiologist have in common? They only care about rushing you through and getting paid. What happened to the old days where they wanted to actually help people. Instead you have to get 5 opinions before you actually get the help you need. "Everything is ok with you" is a common phrase used. Ok buddy i just wake up feeling like death and cant move at all but everything is ok.
I hope you see this comment and think about it because it's actually a joke how bad the "health professionals " are in australia
I had the neck wrap done in August and it fixed everything. I got in a car wreck in 95 and my left leg was a little shorter than my right leg. After the strap, my sciatica stopped hurting and my legs are even. So my advice to you is to get an hour massage before you get it done. I have never felt better. 25 years of pain gone afterwards. I'm not gonna lie, I cried a bit afterwards but the next day I felt great.
Love the message done before idea, but what about after the adjustment?
@@HawksDieselthe massage is to relax your body and muscles so the adjustment can be deeper.
I had a disk issue for a few years, and a few house calls from a chiro fixed it all. I credit that man with saving my life, as I was seriously considering suicide for how bad the pain was before that.
was the tears came from happiness or Y strap hurt like h3ll?
@@Adiarby13most likely happiness, I’ve been dealing with s and c spine pain for years now and have just accepted that’s my life, but always told my significant other that I feel like I need the old medieval torture of being stretched apart and then all of a sudden these videos started showing up of exactly what I’ve felt I’ve needed for years. Waiting to do it my self but the thought of the pain going away after all that time I 100% feel like I’d probably cry from the relief
I'm a chiropractor and although I don't perform the Y Strap adjustment, I appreciate your honest and non biased review. It was very informative and helpful for me as well.
Why did you choose to be a chiropractor? Are you aware that its a form of alternative medicine? (AKA medicine that wasn't proved to work, AKA not real medicine)
If so, are you aware that chiropractic practice started as a way to connect the human soul to god (based in vitalism)?
If you're a chiropractor who does so because you want to help others, then I really suggest looking into Myles Power's TH-cam channel, and educate yourself about the real dangers of the practice.
If all you really wanna do is help people, then you'll have no problem dropping the shithole that is chiropractice and going into a scientifically proved medical field (AKA real medicine).
If you only do so because you want to see yourself as someone with "hideen knowledge" or something (if it's just an ego thing) and you're OK with this dangerous practice, then the only thing I can tell you is to check whether you have any sociopathic tendencies (although I want to believe that the majority of chiropractors are just well meaning uninformed people who were tricked into this cult).
Sorry if I'm sounding mean, it's just that I have family members who were tricked into believing that chiropractice is real which just ticks me the wrong way.

Brother, thank you for making this video. Many people have asked me to comment on this phenomenon, but I hadn't had time to do the background research yet. I think that your perspective as a spine surgeon is extremely valuable. Personally, I find this practice scary. Not sure that the potential benefits, outweigh the potential risks, but I am sport surgeon, not a spine surgeon so I defer to you my friend. But, you were very gentle in your response, given your level or expertise.
Thanks doc! 👊🏾
Finally, an example of an honest professional. He gave a thorough and nuanced answer to the question presented. Nuanced is the key here.
The fact that not even all Chiropractors can agree on the effectiveness is a huge warning sign.
I've been a sports chiropractor for 35 years and really appreciate your open-minded attitude and approach. I have used that towel technique for years and it works well with facet impaction and or adhesions. Would not use the forceful pull with any signs of radiculopathy. Gentle traction with the towel is hit or miss with radicular symptoms, in my experience. Some patients report it is soothing, some say it irritates. Thanks again for you site.
I had the Y strap done on me without knowledge that it was controversial. I'm concerned it might give me a permanent headache as the base of the skull still feels the shock of the pull five days later. I'm also concerned that it could cause a blood clot weeks later.
Thanks for your thoughts on this!

Thank you. I appreciate it!
I have had this question on my channel as well as patients asking for it. I feel it's too aggressive for many people and thus, for my patients I don't use it. If I'm able to help some in a more GENTLE way, I will always choose a safer and more gentle method. I have found the stuff you see on TH-cam is more for entertainment purposes, rather than realistic for the average patient. I've been in practice for 24 years and regularly get referrals from the medical community because they know I will "not rip their head off" as one medical doctor said to me. "I know that you will do the right thing for the patient" is a common statement that I hear and that has helped me gain the confidence of my peers.

The quackery part is when people claim it fixes like 100 different ailments
but it is quackery.
Dr. Webb, you come across as a very open minded and humble guy. Great job on objectively discussing different topics related to chiropractic as well as many others.
A professional who is humble and openly declare the limits of his specialty and knowledge is the one we all want more of in our society.
I love this guy, he repeats that he is not an expert in this field, I love that, he is saying what he believes and sees from his perspective, too many people on youtube say things and act like they cannot be wrong. This is a breath of fresh air to me.
If there is any weakness in the posterior vertebral arteries, these manipulations can shear the vessel and kill the patient. It’s similar to the coup-countercoupe slamming that occurs in a high velocity accident. It really disturbs me as a retired trauma ICU nurse that this is being promoted across social media.
Stop trying to scare people. I guarantee you that any procedure you ever preformed in your entire medical career had extremely rare potential side effects, adverse reactions, or dangers. 10’s of millions of people have this done every day and there are a small handful of cases where bad things happened. You have a better chance of getting hurt from taking regular every day medication than you do with something like this. If it was really as dangerous as you are making it out to be then these people wouldn’t have medical licenses. They would’ve been sued out of practice snd professions ages ago. If the idea of it scares you then fine. Nobody is forcing you to do it. But it does help a lot of people and there is no reason to make others afraid of it. I never went to one until I hurt my neck and my back and my mom talked me into going. Probably one of the most relaxing experiences of my life. The potential danger you are listing comes from violent movements when your body is tensed up mixed with stopping in your tracks at 60mph. Where as this doesn’t match the intensity of a car wreck in the least bit. Chiropractors can feel the muscles in your body and will make sure you are totally relaxed and no tensed up. Again if you don’t like it thats fine but it is less dangerous than many things you did in tour career
"I'm by no means an expert. I'm just a spinal orthopedic surgeon who's published and read many papers regarding this kinds of manipulation"
Okay doc lol.
This is not perfectly apples to apples, but his knowledge of chiropractic work is scholarly, it's not what he does for a living. In that sense it is like a structural engineer admitting he is not an expert in carpentry. Again, not perfectly apples to apples, but I see what he is saying.

The creator of chiropractic medicine was a charlatan who was an anti-vaxxer and magnetic healer. Chiropractic should be outlawed and treated no differently than other snake oils.
@@rAiDeR2TKC Most chiropractic schools require an undergraduate degree that includes a certain number of credits in the sciences. You will need at least a Bachelor's of Arts in addition to the graduate Doctor of Chiropractic degree in order to be licensed in the United States (I am unaware of other countries' policies). You can then apply to a chiropractic college. Depending on the school it's typically a 3-4 year degree. You are required to pass 4-5 Boards exams (which state you are wanting to practice in will determine if you need to take the physiotherapy boards exam, making it 5 instead of 4). Most schools require a number of hours of hands on education as well as a great deal of education in the classroom setting including anatomy, biochemistry, nutrition, cell physiology, and evidence-based clinical practice. I am currently in my first year. I'm just ending my 2nd trimester, about to start my 3rd trimester. Please feel free to reach out if you have more questions or contact school's admissions representatives for more information!
@@iketurnher4745 Let's not forget the history of medicine as a practice either. Plenty of snake oil salesmen and posionous drugs prescribed (thalidomide, opioids, DES, and more) over the years. Medicine has a questionable start too, and yet we allow it to have credit. Please allow our profession to grow and change and develop just as medicine has. We have come a long way since our start, and can continue to grow if people like you don't hold onto the past.
I love that he didnt just dismiss chiropractic therapy and the y-strap method fully. Seems like an extremely knowledgeable man!
That's the irony of public opinion on surgeons.
He straight-up said himself he doesn't know shit about it and couldn't find anything on it either.
I've had this done. There is no pain. It's more like a release of electricity through the body. Fantastic feeling. People are just in shock.
I would rather get the towel method than the running start Y strap bump.
Daniel Hayes you just have to be careful, I have a neurological disorder (Arnold. Chiari Malformation & Syringomyelia (plus some other things) & I had to have Brain & spinal surgery & decompression Of the hind Brain with removal of part of the base of the skull & Have pieces of my top 2 vertebrates taken out... I recovered & seemed back to normal till a few years later as the CSF flow & disorder can’t be completely healed.. & new Syrinx developed along with other progressions that have completely changed & impacted me to such a debilitating degree & ..... & to make a long story short, my disorder even after surgery still causes my flow of Spinal fluid to be impacted & also a lot of disc degeneration, arthritis etc...... & what I’m trying to say is just be careful Cuz you don’t want to have anything done that can disrupt your flow of CSF, as so much is still being found out everyday with new studies & research, so always be very diligent & cautious with whatever treatments you have done to your spine Cuz it can be very delicate especially ones that apply direct impact to your spinal cord Cuz if you already have damage/Issues/Injury those high impacts can have severe consequences... just be careful & good luck in all
@@vigusdna3760 WE HAD THE EXACT SAME SURGERY!! crazy!
@@josie6545 hole in the skull ewwwww
Exactly what electricity is being released and from where?
"I am by no means an expert. I am just a surgeon..." 2 videos in and I heart you, Dr. Webb!
Basically, for anyone who’s curious as to why anyone would willingly have this stuff done, These adjustments are for people with pain due to joints and muscles that can’t afford to have anything done surgically.
I was born with EDS so my weak ligaments cause my spine and all my limb joints to not always sit in their proper alignment. The body’s response to this is to use your muscles to PULL those things back into their correct spot. If you’ve ever woken up with a sore neck after sleeping in an unusual position, you’re familiar with this concept. Because the muscles are straining to pull on your bones they become tense and painful. Anti-inflammatory drugs with help this, But to cure the problem, you have to address the cause. Chiropractors reposition the bones so that your muscles don’t have to. Once the muscles no longer need to strain they can relax and calm down.
Fun story, EDS has caused me to pop several ribs out of place, MULTIPLE TIMES. Imagine laying on the couch sobbing because even the shallowest breaths cause excruciating pain in your rib, cuz that’s what it was like. I tolerated 3 days of this before seeing my first ever chiropractor. My rib felt better within 30 minutes of leaving so i can attest to the fact that at least some of these people know what they are doing, and if your in pain and drugs aren’t helping to dull it, it’s worth a try.
I would willingly be ring dingered (y strapped) because the extension is the one type of adjustment i can't do to myself. I can get the rotational ones and the "shift" ones, but I can't create extension for myself. I need someone to play me like an accordian.
Even with surgery you can still have a lingering pain sometimes surgeries can’t help

Nice to see a fellow zebra! 😄
I have combo type 4 and 3 EDS, along with several other conditions that are associated with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I have at LEAST 2 daily joint dislocations (not to mention the countless hyperextensions & subluxations) due to the severity of my rare combo type of EDS. This affects every joint in my body, and it's to the point that at 25yrs old, all but 1 of my joints are now bone-on-bone due to the daily damage & the connective tissue is so naturally stretched that sleeping for more than 3hrs at a time causes my body to relax too much to where I wake up to dislocations of at least 1 dislocation of either my shoulders, hips, knees, elbows, ribs, or ankles; this of course is excluding all the hyperextensions/subluxations/dislocations that are caused by standing, walking, putting away groceries, sneezing/coughing, getting in and out of my power wheelchair, brushing my hair, etc. Needless to say the chronic pain is more than most can imagine, even with pain management medication and treatments. I understand the desperate want to try anything just to get some pain relief, no matter how temporary it may be.
I'm glad that you are able to get some relief through your chiropractic care! I used to get weekly chiropractic care for over 2 yrs (recommended by my pain management specialist at the time), and it unfortunately ended up doing more damage to my joints in the long run due to the extra manipulation of my joints. I STRONGLY suggest that anyone with hyper mobility issues see their specialists before any chiropractic care. Some EDS'ers find relief with it (generally those with type 1 and 2), however most others with the more extreme hypermobile types of EDS (like myself) found that it worsen their pain and joint conditions either in the short or long term. The worsening of the joint conditions is at NO fault of the chiropractors-- they genuinely help most by alleviating joint/back pain and are great at what they do-- it's just because our bodies aren't built like "normal" people's bodies due to the connective tissue. Every case of EDS differs from each other, even if it's the same type of EDS, which makes it difficult for doctors to find a universal way to manage pain for us. So to any zebras out there that are interested in starting chiropractic care or are referred to a chiropractor by a doctor-- please do research and talk to several others with EDS too, specifically those who share the same type/severity of your condition, to get their experience with chiropractic care to make an informed decision to hopefully prevent any worsening of your condition. I hope that whoever reads this has a wonderful day and is as pain free as possible!💜
@@parkercrossland410 you can get things to provide traction on your neck like that. You cant get it as much as the ystrap but i have one. It's kinda like an inflatable neck pillow
