Just a little article on the benefits of Gus Sha. Even though it looks scary, it doesn’t hurt and the redness goes away completely in about week.

Mondragon is French . My dragon in english. Encore un travail magnifique et splendide que vs faite. Much love to Dr. Brenda from Lafayette Louisiana 👍🏾
kinda hard to use your eyes for something that you cant really see. so yea ofcourse shes gonna do it by feel. watch some other chiropractors. everyone ive watched either have their eyes closed most the time or are looking away
That's really how it should be. You can see asymmetries and pain postures, but the real key is to feel. I can feel the previous injuries, scar tissues, overcompensations, instabilities, and tighness in fascia and muscle when I simply touch, don't look, while giving a massage. It's honestly incredible being able to see all that, without actually seeing.
When you reduce sensory input through one of your senses your processing power can be better allocated to your other senses. It’s one of the reasons why folks who ARE blind (or deaf) often have other heightened senses
I am jealous of everyone that can go to her. Also, she seems really strong and how she is taking care of her back and overall posture while working - I can’t even hold posture while watching this -.-
I love the way she says, "look at all this", not even looking at the patient. She's looking off into the distance while she feels for the issues with her hands. It's like her hands are her eyes. It's so amazing 😍 art.
@@kristinholsapple4685 she dosent look at her patients because she's protecting her own spine, whenever she is working on a patient especially when she's bending over she makes sure to maintain a curve in her own spine and neck, at least she practices what she preaches 😂
Try talking to your chiropractor, there's someone here on youtube that uses something called the Y strap. It's not a very common thing chiropractors practice. But mine used to, they still ig have the y strap. Just dont due it much. Plus I've asked them questions before or just mentioned like the right axis. They explain it- also the points on the head or whatever that tell them what part of the body is off balance. Dr. Dragon uses the point as well. She doesn't talk about it tho.
"it's been happening for three years I'm not really sure what caused it" literally like two seconds later "yeah I was in a car accident three years ago" well I see we found the root of the pain. 🤷🏻♀️
its sad that someone like her is the excepton and not the rule, you would hope that most dr's spend their time on someone like she days but sadly that's not the case, when doing your job currectly becomes rare
You must be a Trump voter. Too dumb to understand. Who cares what the medical field thinks? They gave us the opioid crisis. Chiropractic is a field of education recognized by the US govt. Medical doctors prefer to monopolize the healthcare system and they kill more people than any other professional in the healthcare industry.
@@rd3179 Their program is actually chiropractic medicine. So in a sense they practice medicine but not medical in nature. The definition of medicine doesn't suggest it has to be medical or surgical.
@@IslayAnderson Actually measurable difference in pain can be felt after an "adjustment" from person to person which have been proven. What has not been agreed upon is via the proposed mechanism. It was thought a certain way for may years, even decades, but it is under study still because doctors, physio's and chiroprators alike cannot agree on the mechanism. There is not "nothing" happening on the table. We just don't know exactly how its working. Kind of like how there are some drugs that have an outcome that is favorable but we don't understand the proposed mechanism even years after isnt creation. As long as there are no fatal outcomes we continue using a drug long after we still don't know exactly how it works.
I wanna know if he went back .. also id like to know how he felt after all this.. like did he actually feel a difference, did the headaches go away etc etc .. should do a follow up vid
noted. been to the chiropractor once... bunch of tests and an xray beforehand, but then some guy i hadn't met yet just started cracking away at me. wont be going there anymore
@@jacobmulligan5962 True, but it would be better beforehand since the massage will help loosing your muscles for a better adjustment. Trying to adjust with tight muscles hurts sometimes.
@@MikaelMurstam nope, she knew it from touching him. She explained it, too. "your nodes (i think lymph nodes) are swollen here." they swell up when you are sick. So she could feel it just well :) You can also say, what kind of sickness it could be from the areas, where they are swollen, but that's not accurate on its own. (example: a typical cold will most likely cause your nodes in the neck to swell on, but you should NEVER only rely on that!)
To be honest, I don't know what the sound is at 9:34. His neck moved a tiny bit, but at the same time it sounds like something is dropping on the ground. Maybe the camera stand or the table hitting....not sure though and there isn't any way that I know of to clarify it.
I wonder if this man just feels so validated. Like “I thought you would be easy but no,” would fill me with absolute relief. Maybe I’ve just had too many people say my pain isn’t significant. Lol.
I know you probably want to hear it from a doctor, which unfortunately I am not, but your pain is absolutely significant. On top of that, I’m sorry you’ve had to meet and endure so many invalidating people in your life

I have worked with and for chiropractors for the last 13 years. I have never seen such a thorough adjustment. I have always thought soft tissue work and chiropractic would work better done together. Your method is so balanced. I wish more people used a technique like yours. It looks like it hurts so good!
"yeah... these headaches started 3 years ago... come to think of it, I was in a car crash 3 years ago... not sure if that's what started this. I mean it wasn't a serious car crash, I mean my vehicle was totaled..." BRUH THIs guy
Just because his car was totaled doesn’t mean that’s what started it. It is a pretty strange coincidence but possibly not what started it. I got t-boned a few months ago on the back passenger drivers side and walked out with nothing but a little whiplash for the next three days. It all depends on how old the car is and what the extent of the damage is. Not knowing what the extent of the damage was to his car means we can’t just jump to conclusions about if that’s where it all started.
I wish she would do “tours” to different cities so people could have a session with her. I’d rather pay for that than a concert or something else like that!
the redness is just broken blood vessels. looks brutal but actually doesn’t really hurt at all, may be a little sore but i get it all the time on my face and i have sensitive skin as well but it goes away in a few days
Careful, when you get older they no longer disappear. I have permanent redness in my cheeks now from broken capillaries. Noticed they were no longer going away after 30ish 😔
Dude this looks like a heat rash but also the first layer of skin is broken and getting scraped off. It probably burnned while she did it, and it will definitely scab and take painful time while it heals. I would be extremely mad.
Yeah it's actually kind of surreal because she's clearly good at this, but the whole nebulous idea of "releasing toxins" is fundamentally woo-woo nonsense
Dr Mondragon is definitely one of the most thorough Chiropractors out there. She gets down to the root of the problem & loosens things up then performs the adjustment instead of just adjusting you off the bat. Wish she was closer to me, I'd definitely have her do a complete & thorough treatment & adjustment. Enjoy the videos Dr Mondragon!! Thanks!!
Chiros here in Australia just send clients away to get massaged if they can't crack them. This would be way better because the chiro knows exactly what needs to be done to achieve her own goals.
A lot of the work chiropractors do is muscle related. It’s all one system so it’s very difficult to do an adjustment and not effect the other system. Just like if a skeletal issue were to occur it would effect some muscle groups
@@henry4407 I think what they meant was that she doesn't just adjust the skeleton, she also uses tools on the muscles other than massaging them, I don't really know how to explain it
Like they always say, "you can't judge a book by it's cover." A skinny person can still have diabetes and high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Just cause you look fit, doesn't mean you are in good health.
Wow, he sure is tough. This was one of the more aggressive treatments I have seen her do and he handled it like a champ. I'm sure he is feeling much better though.
The difference between your videos and other chiropractors is the prepping the patient for the adjustments with the muscle focus. Thank you Dr Mondragon
That’s 100% the faces I make when my chiro hits a tender spot with the massage gun lmao. Definitely hurts so good though- this is the first time I haven’t been in pain since middle school.
Mad respect for chiropractors. I don't know how they can feel my muscle pain thru their fingers! My neck and back were just adjusted and it was really nice! No pressure under the base of my skull no more.
You know you have mastered the job when you see the professional close their eyes. Tells me she’s evaluating him and making sure that body part feels like it’s supposed to
I've been going to chiropractors most of my life and I've never seen these techniques! Love the blend of massage with adjustments! I have severe pain on and off, and I need this!!!!
Try yoga. It might help. I have been advised by chiropractor to practice. After few weeks I saw difference. I didn't feel the muscle soreness after yoga practices and also to have a good walking and sitting posture and sleeping positions to be better. Or yeah you could find a good chiropractor. Just a suggestion
Why is it i love these videos? Something about her working on her patients and helping them out to increase their mobility and relieve pain. Shes amazing.
@@johne.nobody2946 Yeah. I've never had a chiropractic adjustment but I had my first-ever deep back massage about a year ago. It was pretty amazing but that night I absolutely felt awful. Nauseous, headachy, almost like I was coming down with the flu. It was toxin release from the massage. I read up on it and yeah, you need to hydrate pretty hardcore after a deep massage/chiro like this to help flush the toxins.
There's no such thing as toxins in the blood. The liver & kidneys are responsible for removing "toxins". If you had actual toxins in your blood it would be very very bad news for you. Blood is sterile in healthy individuals
She is so much more thorough than any therapist I've been to. Last one I went to was well over a year ago because I thought I had a rib out and she (the chiropractor) didn't ask about it or where the pain was and when I left I was still in pain.
Jayden Buerck it is because there is a nerve that goes through your major organs so when you take a deep breath it helps calm your brain and other major organs (the vein is called the Vegas nerve)
Patient hasn’t been able to have his right side neck adjusted, you know Doc Mondragon would accept that challenge. It’s pretty intense back work but worth it to get rid of the headaches. Wish the patient well.
It's weird that this kinda made me emotional. I've needed to see a chiropractor for this chronic pain for a long time but I've been dragging my feet. It's time.
14:35 Does anyone else feel like they have a big ass knot right where she cracked him behind the shoulder blade? Like it never goes away, it is tight as hell, and it hurts too much to try to massage it out?
Definitely. Literally the only thing that has helped me is the CBD lotion from Whole Foods (they only sell one kind). Tried chiropractor, massage, exercise, etc.
This happened to me SO badly in October that I had migraines for almost two weeks that caused palsy in my right eye. It was so bad that I was tested for stroke, brain aneurysm and tumors. I was out of work and bedridden for a month. The chiropractor was the only thing that fixed me. Alignment is SO important for your body's health! 👏
@@shawnafairchild417 omg that's literally my same exact story it happened to me in December except it was my left eye. Literally same exact story just different eye. Omg that's crazy wow
@@jaycievictory8461 The best! I'd had severe neck and shoulder pain leading up and it hasn't come back yet ^-^ (Haven't had the chance to follow up with anyone local to be more proactive against future pain tho)
Mine never did any adjusting without massaging first. He said if you don't massage, you force the adjustment against the muscles' and tendons "mis-position" - so they need relaxing first, then you can do some cracking.
@Rizza David i have been getting routine maintenance treatments for years, in fact I just had one this morning. And its so amazing for my athletic function and for high blood pressure. It feels good too!! But of course the important part is long term resolution of headaches and other joint issues so that I can continue my level of activity. Hope that answers your question 😁
I think these people are tearing stuff quite often, an adjustment is one thing and sometimes necessary but they seem to just like to crack your neck as a gimmick
Not necessarily. Ik it's not the same thing, but whenever I get a tattoo, if I was to acknowledge the pain whether vocally or physically, it would cause a good 5 minutes of being a drama queen. For some people, fighting the pain is best. He could be one of them guys
Often times, holding on becomes the default. Release can be painful so the body naturally wants to deter from any pain, even if it causes more pain in the long run.
And I love that she listened to the arteries too!!! We learn it in nursing school and how important it is, but I've never once had a nurse or doctor do it to me or ever seen it done in practice!
Best advice I can give you my friend is chiropractor’s are temporary it does not do much for you I swear you need to workout and move that is the real solution
She is SO Thorough the chiropractor I went to never spent that much time adjusting. Just crack the neck and go “see ya next time”. Haven’t been back in years
I wish the chiropractors in my area cared this much. I don’t even care how much this costs.. the lactic acid grows so fast in my back and it never feels right.
This video is giving me so much hope. I have severe back and neck pains and have had a headache 24/7 for a month now. It was getting worried that something was wrong with my brain bc no matter what I do the headache pain will not go away. Going to see a chiropractor ASAP!
He needs to develop his lats. It’ll bring this scapula down and bring less pressure on in traps. He’s holding a of stress or tension in the upper back area.
exactly. It's counter intuitive but he needs to do a lot of row-like movements, lat pulldowns, and rear delt flyes. All these thoracic tightness issues come from too tight front delts/chest, which is why she went to work on those. Working out is easier than keeping up with all the mobility you need to do to reverse these kinds of imbalances.
Don’t know why this is my biggest fear. I feel like if a Chiro cracks my neck my head will end up dangling off my neck and won’t be able to move my entire head💀

You are right!! Sometimes she looks visually impaired as she stares off into space. It's amazing.
I was just about to ask if she is blind, when I saw your comment.
Logic je can't use her eyes for this
kinda hard to use your eyes for something that you cant really see. so yea ofcourse shes gonna do it by feel. watch some other chiropractors. everyone ive watched either have their eyes closed most the time or are looking away
I think she’s visualizing the muscle skeletal structure
She has older sister vibes. Like the way she talks and tell you what she needs you to do but still laughs with you.
My older sister just yells at me

Alabama is interested.
*Ara ara intensifies*
What the he'll is she doing no? Looks like she is scraping his skin off.
Everytime she starts feeling she looks away like she’s blind. She’s putting all her concentration in her sense of touch.
Duh. She can't see through skin.
That's really how it should be. You can see asymmetries and pain postures, but the real key is to feel. I can feel the previous injuries, scar tissues, overcompensations, instabilities, and tighness in fascia and muscle when I simply touch, don't look, while giving a massage. It's honestly incredible being able to see all that, without actually seeing.
It's like playing a piano. Your hands just know.
She's the new Toph.
When you reduce sensory input through one of your senses your processing power can be better allocated to your other senses. It’s one of the reasons why folks who ARE blind (or deaf) often have other heightened senses

First chiro I've seen who incorporates classic manual therapy techniques as part of treatment. As a doctor of PT, I'm not mad at this.
imlazy77 so interested to hear this. All the PTs I work with have always said avoid a chiro. I’ll have to see what they think of this.

U guys dont understand sarcasm lmao
the redness is just broken blood vessels. looks brutal but actually doesn’t really hurt at all, may be a little sore but i get it all the time on my face and i have sensitive skin as well but it goes away in a few days
Careful, when you get older they no longer disappear. I have permanent redness in my cheeks now from broken capillaries. Noticed they were no longer going away after 30ish 😔
Dude this looks like a heat rash but also the first layer of skin is broken and getting scraped off. It probably burnned while she did it, and it will definitely scab and take painful time while it heals. I would be extremely mad.
@@janky.manky. agreed
Yeah it's actually kind of surreal because she's clearly good at this, but the whole nebulous idea of "releasing toxins" is fundamentally woo-woo nonsense
No, it‘s not.
Ive got a Buddy who had this done and he said he felt like he was 15 afterward.
Was he 8? Or 25?
ItsDurry probably way older
ItsDurry LMAO
He was 16.

My back feels really jealous right now. :( I need this in my life. 😂
LITERALLY 😮 my bad posture is mad at me lol
I watched this and I wanted it so bad.. then realized she’s in Orlando and I live in Orlando. Finding this video in my suggestions is called destiny..
Do it!!!
You’re so lucky! Go see her!
holy shit i'm an hour away......neeeeeeed this
Lucky!
I thought she was in St. Augustine which I was willing to drive to, but ORL is even closer! I wonder what her waiting list looks like lol
when his legs do a little wiggle when it hurts 😂
Hes so cute lol
Yeah, like.. the entire video 😂
I’m living vicariously through the people she cracks
Me too😅
Dr Mondragon is definitely one of the most thorough Chiropractors out there. She gets down to the root of the problem & loosens things up then performs the adjustment instead of just adjusting you off the bat. Wish she was closer to me, I'd definitely have her do a complete & thorough treatment & adjustment. Enjoy the videos Dr Mondragon!! Thanks!!
Chiros here in Australia just send clients away to get massaged if they can't crack them. This would be way better because the chiro knows exactly what needs to be done to achieve her own goals.
not all chiros in aus are like that, you have to find the perfect one! :)
I love that she will take care of the muscles not just the skeleton
A lot of the work chiropractors do is muscle related. It’s all one system so it’s very difficult to do an adjustment and not effect the other system. Just like if a skeletal issue were to occur it would effect some muscle groups
@@henry4407 I think what they meant was that she doesn't just adjust the skeleton, she also uses tools on the muscles other than massaging them, I don't really know how to explain it
Bored Introvert ok well still, probably about half the work chiropractors do irl is muscle related
It's interesting that someone who looks so fit and healthy would be carrying so much tension and pain. Poor guy
Just because you're thin. Doesn't mean your healthy. You can look like that and be worse off than someone obese.
There’s something else going on with him. Stress from something and possibly a bad mattress.
@@PaulBeetge I didn't say thin. Just fit. He looks physically fit.
Like they always say, "you can't judge a book by it's cover." A skinny person can still have diabetes and high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Just cause you look fit, doesn't mean you are in good health.
A lot of football players whom are obviously fit have a lot of tightness due to all the hits they take and they seek chiropractic care for it
You can see how much it hurts by the movements of his legs.. tightening and moving... that’s a terrible pain!! This was GOOD 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Well hello there! Lol
You are hot!
Additional thirst comment!
Gaetano Francesco Prochilo ew
No Pain No Gain...
Wow, he sure is tough. This was one of the more aggressive treatments I have seen her do and he handled it like a champ. I'm sure he is feeling much better though.
The difference between your videos and other chiropractors is the prepping the patient for the adjustments with the muscle focus. Thank you Dr Mondragon
Lol there should be a camera on the floor showing their face. They might be like “yeah I’m okay” but there face is actually like 😫😫😢😢🥺🥺😭😭
KILLFAR LMAO
That’s 100% the faces I make when my chiro hits a tender spot with the massage gun lmao. Definitely hurts so good though- this is the first time I haven’t been in pain since middle school.
Probably a pool of tears on the floor.
Mad respect for chiropractors. I don't know how they can feel my muscle pain thru their fingers! My neck and back were just adjusted and it was really nice! No pressure under the base of my skull no more.
"I had to put a lot of pressure into that, I'm sorry. " **maniacal laugh** (she ain't sorry)
Maniacal laugh.. lol
👌🏼😂😂
You know you have mastered the job when you see the professional close their eyes.
Tells me she’s evaluating him and making sure that body part feels like it’s supposed to
I've been going to chiropractors most of my life and I've never seen these techniques! Love the blend of massage with adjustments! I have severe pain on and off, and I need this!!!!
Try yoga. It might help. I have been advised by chiropractor to practice. After few weeks I saw difference. I didn't feel the muscle soreness after yoga practices and also to have a good walking and sitting posture and sleeping positions to be better. Or yeah you could find a good chiropractor. Just a suggestion
Why is it i love these videos? Something about her working on her patients and helping them out to increase their mobility and relieve pain. Shes amazing.
He better drink a ton of water after this. He's gonna hurt before he's better.
Why a ton of water? To purge toxins?
Or do some blood cupping to get rid of the toxins in the blood
@@johne.nobody2946 Yeah. I've never had a chiropractic adjustment but I had my first-ever deep back massage about a year ago. It was pretty amazing but that night I absolutely felt awful. Nauseous, headachy, almost like I was coming down with the flu. It was toxin release from the massage. I read up on it and yeah, you need to hydrate pretty hardcore after a deep massage/chiro like this to help flush the toxins.
There's no such thing as toxins in the blood. The liver & kidneys are responsible for removing "toxins". If you had actual toxins in your blood it would be very very bad news for you. Blood is sterile in healthy individuals
@@pl3bx Lactic acid is real after an adjustment or massage though. Toxin is just laymans terms
She is so much more thorough than any therapist I've been to. Last one I went to was well over a year ago because I thought I had a rib out and she (the chiropractor) didn't ask about it or where the pain was and when I left I was still in pain.
The importance of a good anamnesis
I love her how energy and smiles make the process much easier for her patients, even though they are in agonizing pain 😂
When she tells him to take a deep breath why did I take the deep breath and why did it releases some of my stress?
We should remember to take deep breathes more often, it automatically calms our bodies
Jayden Buerck because it releases some co2 in your body which cause tension (co2 is quite toxic for us so it’s unpleasant)
Satisfying to watch as well.
Jayden Buerck it is because there is a nerve that goes through your major organs so when you take a deep breath it helps calm your brain and other major organs (the vein is called the Vegas nerve)
I took a deep breath and now I'm sleepy...
I feel good when she makes them laugh cause you can tell theyre forgetting to breathe from time to time
I was just thinking that
When you have neck pain and go to the chiropractor for it and end up having 10 other problems.. Lol
Exactly what happened to me four years ago 🤡
Chiropractic != Medicine
The other problems are the cause of the neck pain.
Like a mechanic for the body
Wouldn't put it past them to find the link between my TMD and forward pelvic tilt
Patient hasn’t been able to have his right side neck adjusted, you know Doc Mondragon would accept that challenge. It’s pretty intense back work but worth it to get rid of the headaches. Wish the patient well.
How do we make this the standard for chiropractors everywhere???
@@doozerchuck8625 she delivers amazing care and her patients are satisfied, I believe that what matters most!
It's weird that this kinda made me emotional. I've needed to see a chiropractor for this chronic pain for a long time but I've been dragging my feet. It's time.
Janae Fletcher it feels amazing. Don’t wait any longer
Maybe the fact you're dragging your feet might be down to lower back pain😜
Janae Fletcher chiropractic isn’t medicine, suggest to see a real medical doctor specialized on your kind of problem, anything else is just scam
did u ever go ? I need the update !!😂😂
14:35 Does anyone else feel like they have a big ass knot right where she cracked him behind the shoulder blade? Like it never goes away, it is tight as hell, and it hurts too much to try to massage it out?
Definitely. Literally the only thing that has helped me is the CBD lotion from Whole Foods (they only sell one kind). Tried chiropractor, massage, exercise, etc.
Yeah
Yes! Soooo painful. 😟
Omg i get knots around my shoulders all the time. Sometimes it is so bad im in tears. I would love to go and see her.
Yes!! It hurts so bad!
Go for a lovely massage they said, its so relaxing they said
😆😆😆👍
This boy is so locked up at the top of his back then he will have reduced blood flow into his head/brain hence the headaches.
This happened to me SO badly in October that I had migraines for almost two weeks that caused palsy in my right eye. It was so bad that I was tested for stroke, brain aneurysm and tumors. I was out of work and bedridden for a month. The chiropractor was the only thing that fixed me. Alignment is SO important for your body's health! 👏
@@shawnafairchild417 omg that's literally my same exact story it happened to me in December except it was my left eye. Literally same exact story just different eye. Omg that's crazy wow
Shawna Fairchild did u get just an adjustment or the scraper to release the toxins??
@@a_s2557 I've been getting adjustments regularly ever since! I've never been scraped. But I've had deep tissue massages.
Absolute bollocks
She incorporates more massage than any chiropractor I’ve ever been to. How long does it take for the redness from the scraping to go down?
Paige A in one video I’m pretty sure she said it’s 3 days to a week depending on how red it is.
Few months
I actually went to her a few months ago and it started going away after about 2-3 days ^-^
@@jaycievictory8461 The best! I'd had severe neck and shoulder pain leading up and it hasn't come back yet ^-^ (Haven't had the chance to follow up with anyone local to be more proactive against future pain tho)
Mine never did any adjusting without massaging first. He said if you don't massage, you force the adjustment against the muscles' and tendons "mis-position" - so they need relaxing first, then you can do some cracking.
I would like to see some feedback from people who had a treatment, what about the day after what about a month later.
I like your cut g
@Rizza David i have been getting routine maintenance treatments for years, in fact I just had one this morning. And its so amazing for my athletic function and for high blood pressure. It feels good too!! But of course the important part is long term resolution of headaches and other joint issues so that I can continue my level of activity. Hope that answers your question 😁
When I went to the chiropractor they just started cracking my neck without loosening up the muscle.. Felt like my muscles just tore
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
damn that sucks...
I think these people are tearing stuff quite often, an adjustment is one thing and sometimes necessary but they seem to just like to crack your neck as a gimmick
I found funny how he was trying to hold the pain. He really needed to release.
Not necessarily. Ik it's not the same thing, but whenever I get a tattoo, if I was to acknowledge the pain whether vocally or physically, it would cause a good 5 minutes of being a drama queen. For some people, fighting the pain is best. He could be one of them guys
Often times, holding on becomes the default. Release can be painful so the body naturally wants to deter from any pain, even if it causes more pain in the long run.
Her: Breath
Him: ~* aggressively inhales*~
I want this so bad!! He reminds me of my husband. His back is the same, and he had cluster headaches. I swear it’s his back and not cluster headaches.
It was realy good that she listened to his heart to rule out heart problems.
And I love that she listened to the arteries too!!! We learn it in nursing school and how important it is, but I've never once had a nurse or doctor do it to me or ever seen it done in practice!
Breanna Zaun wow, in general? :-0
She is not qualified to listen to heart. This is just a show.
That stethoscope isn’t even a proper stethoscope, it’s cheap af. I doubt she could even hear anything 😂
@@graciewilkins3357 hehehehe an utterly cheap show.
I wish she lived in m town, need this so bad on my neck, shoulders and back.
Best advice I can give you my friend is chiropractor’s are temporary it does not do much for you I swear you need to workout and move that is the real solution
Strengthen postural muscles many videos on it I hope you get better
M town?
Like the thing BMW made?
Or did you mean 'my town'?
towfiq morrell I feel as though strengthening prevents the issue reoccurringand chiropractic care fixes the damage that has been done
“Man, you have strong thumbs”
These videos should have timecode for the most epic cracks
Looking them up rn too :(
Sometimes nice ppl will do that for us.. haven't seen one yet this video
She is SO Thorough the chiropractor I went to never spent that much time adjusting. Just crack the neck and go “see ya next time”. Haven’t been back in years
I wish the chiropractors in my area cared this much. I don’t even care how much this costs.. the lactic acid grows so fast in my back and it never feels right.
Man I feel bad for this guy! You can tell he’s in so much pain
Good thing this guy came to see you. Wow he came in wrecked. I'm curious if he would be willing to do a follow up.
His back looked like he went to a paintball game shirtless.
Like he went skinny dipping at Fukushima shirtless.
Like he went rhino wrestling shirtless.
Like he went shirtless, shirtless.
Brian Dickerson an intellectual I see
Anthony Aversano shirtlessception
dang, back to when we could just cough with no hesitation
This video is giving me so much hope. I have severe back and neck pains and have had a headache 24/7 for a month now. It was getting worried that something was wrong with my brain bc no matter what I do the headache pain will not go away. Going to see a chiropractor ASAP!
I had to switch to headphones so nobody thought all the moans were something different.
18:02
same here
😁
10:58 12:45
🙄 my husband just asked what are you watching 😂
Chiro: Do you mind if I take this shirt off?
Us: No, we don’t mind.
I laughed so hard when she mentions the AI not knowing a man from a woman, hence the shirt for his front.
A follow up vid with this guy would be amazing , I’m praying for his poor back
I agree, would love to see follow ups ...whether the people need ongoing treatment etc!
Imagine going to the chiropractor then coming home and having to explain to your wife why your back is all red and bruised up😂😂
Well at least it's not nail scratches. Then she'd have every reason to get upset.
Id imagine you'd tell your wife "I'm going to the chiropractor" BEFORE actually going so....nothing to explain really
🙄
That’s why there’s video.
Your wife doesn't know what a chiropractor does?
He needs to develop his lats. It’ll bring this scapula down and bring less pressure on in traps. He’s holding a of stress or tension in the upper back area.
See, this is what I needed as a tiny lady spending $$$ at the chiro. Tell me which muscles to work on to bring my body into balance!
I wish you could help me
exactly. It's counter intuitive but he needs to do a lot of row-like movements, lat pulldowns, and rear delt flyes.
All these thoracic tightness issues come from too tight front delts/chest, which is why she went to work on those. Working out is easier than keeping up with all the mobility you need to do to reverse these kinds of imbalances.
What are some good exercises for that?
Oh my gosh!
My chiropractors never, ever do this much work.
This is amazing!
*Mentally gets in car and drives to Florida* I need her in my life!
Don’t know why this is my biggest fear. I feel like if a Chiro cracks my neck my head will end up dangling off my neck and won’t be able to move my entire head💀
It feels amazing
Literally me 😭😭
Me too!
Quite the opposite, in my experience anyway🤪
I am exactly like this guy. I need exactly what this guy got
Would be great to see a follow up with him...
wolf wolf yes I want to see the end result as well! Progress too!!
Chiros never video follow ups 😂
Christian Dorr looool!!

I totally second that!!!

Don’t know why I got recommended this but all right
