Yeah, we don’t know what it means either. ⚖️ 6️⃣ 7️⃣

Yes this is a blatant aura farming reel masquerading as a chiropractic video.

But let’s take a second to talk pain scales. YES. Everybody hates the scale of 0 to 10 including your doctor. It’s just too bad that it is such a good way to measure progress when you need to know about pain. We are proposing a new scale that is less annoying. The new pain scale is 0 to 5 and 8 to 10. This way we are completely avoiding 6 7 situations.

Give us your opinion of pain scales:

Have you ever been told you had permanent damage to your back?

I see people all the time whose doctor forgot to tell them that they would eventually get better from a back injury. Skipping that discussion can lead to disabling ideas about what your back can and can’t do in the future?

Does this sound like something that has ever happened to you?

When your ‘medical argument’ sounds more like a bad breakup rant…

When a “doctor” makes a whole video confessing his mission is to spread hate about chiropractic just because he got blocked on social media… that’s not science, that’s playground drama. 🛑

If your goal is to elevate healthcare, it starts with professionalism—even when you disagree. That’s worth debating. Personal grudges? Not so much.

No wonder he got blocked. There’s a difference between challenging ideas and throwing tantrums. Healthcare deserves the former.

Drop your disagreements in the comments—but do it like a professional. Let’s raise the standard of the conversation. 👇

It’s hard to argue with some of the hardcore science people will use to criticize chiropractic practice. Just know that when I hear people say some of these things, to me, it sounds like a guy ranting on a subway train.

Go do two sit-ups. 😂😂

Are you wondering what Medicare actually covers at a chiropractic visit? Many patients are surprised to learn that Medicare Part B only covers the chiropractic adjustment itself, and only when it is medically necessary. Other parts of a chiropractic visit—like exams, therapies, and maintenance care—are often not covered by Medicare, which can create confusion about costs. In this video, we explain how Medicare works with chiropractic care, including what happens during your first chiropractic visit, what Medicare will and will not reimburse, and how Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans and Medicare Advantage plans affect your out-of-pocket costs. If you’re searching for Medicare chiropractic coverage in Corvallis, Oregon, or trying to understand how Medicare Part B pays for chiropractic adjustments, this video will walk you through the process step-by-step. You’ll learn: • What Medicare Part B covers for chiropractic adjustments • Why Medicare requires medical necessity for spinal manipulation • The difference between active treatment and maintenance care • Why Medicare does not cover exams, therapies, or rehab from chiropractors • How Medicare Supplement plans (Medigap) can cover the 20% coinsurance • How Medicare Advantage plans may have different copays or requirements • What an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) is and why you may be asked to sign one • The potential out-of-pocket costs for chiropractic care under Medicare At Body of Health Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Corvallis, OR, we believe patients should understand exactly how their Medicare benefits work with chiropractic care so there are no surprises when it comes to billing or coverage. If you have Medicare Part B, a Medicare Supplement plan, or a Medicare Advantage plan, this video will help you understand what to expect when visiting a chiropractor. 📍 Body of Health Chiropractic & Wellness Center Corvallis, Oregon Helping patients in Corvallis, Albany, and the Willamette Valley understand their healthcare options and feel better about feeling better.

When major health organizations review the evidence on low back pain, they consistently reach the same conclusion: start with conservative care. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline for low back pain and sciatica recommends non-pharmacologic treatments first, including manual therapy (such as spinal manipulation), exercise, and education as part of a broader care plan. Why? Because most low back pain improves with movement, physical treatment, and active management, while medications—especially opioids—carry higher risks and limited long-term benefit. Good spine care isn’t about doing nothing. It’s about choosing safer, evidence-supported treatments first. Citation National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Low back pain and sciatica in over 16s: assessment and management. London: NICE; 2020. PMID: 33090750 #Chiropractic #LowBackPain #EvidenceBasedCare #ManualTherapy #SpineHealth

Day 9 – The Global Spine Care Initiative Back and neck pain are among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Yet in many parts of the world—especially low- and middle-income communities—access to effective spine care is limited. The Global Spine Care Initiative (GSCI) brought together an international panel of spine experts to review the evidence and develop recommendations for managing spine conditions in communities with limited resources. Their goal was simple: identify treatments that are effective, safe, and scalable across different healthcare systems. The report emphasized that most spine conditions should be managed with non-invasive, evidence-based care first. Recommended strategies include patient education, maintaining activity, exercise therapy, and manual therapies such as spinal manipulation, while minimizing reliance on imaging, opioids, and invasive procedures unless clearly necessary. The takeaway is powerful: when global experts examine the evidence and design spine care for entire populations—not just specialty clinics—the foundation remains conservative, patient-centered care. Effective spine care doesn’t begin with the most complex intervention. It begins with the simplest evidence-based approaches that help people stay active and functioning. Citation Chou R, Côté P, Randhawa K, et al. The Global Spine Care Initiative: applying evidence-based guidelines on the non-invasive management of back and neck pain to low- and middle-income communities. Eur Spine J. 2018;27(Suppl 6):851-860.

In 2017, the American College of Physicians (ACP) published an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the treatment of acute, subacute, and chronic low back pain. After reviewing randomized trials and systematic reviews, the ACP recommended non-pharmacologic treatments as first-line care. Among the recommended treatments was spinal manipulation, along with exercise, mindfulness-based stress reduction, tai chi, yoga, and other conservative approaches. The guideline specifically advises clinicians to start with non-drug therapies before turning to medications such as NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, or opioids. This reflects a broader shift in modern healthcare: Treat back pain with conservative, evidence-based approaches first. Spinal manipulation—commonly performed by chiropractors—is part of that evidence-based toolkit. Science keeps asking the same question: What works best for patients? And the guidelines increasingly point toward movement, rehabilitation, and hands-on care before medication. ⸻ Citation Qaseem A, Wilt TJ, McLean RM, Forciea MA; Clinical Guidelines Committee of the American College of Physicians. Noninvasive treatments for acute, subacute, and chronic low back pain: a clinical practice guideline from the American College of Physicians.

For years people have repeated the claim that chiropractic adjustments cause strokes. But when researchers actually looked at the data, the story turned out to be very different. A large population-based case–control study published in Spine examined the relationship between chiropractic visits and vertebrobasilar stroke. The researchers compared patients who had strokes with matched controls and looked at whether they had visited a chiropractor or a medical physician beforehand. Here’s the key finding: Patients were just as likely to have seen a medical doctor as a chiropractor before the stroke. That tells us something important. Many vertebral artery dissections begin with neck pain and headache, which leads people to seek care. The stroke risk wasn’t tied to chiropractic treatment—it was tied to the underlying arterial dissection already in progress. In other words, patients were seeking care because the stroke process had already started, not because treatment caused it. Even more interesting: A follow-up population study published in 2014 found similar results, again showing that visits to chiropractors and primary care physicians had comparable associations with stroke prior to diagnosis. Science often overturns assumptions. When we actually examine the data, the evidence points to a more nuanced explanation than the myth suggests. Reference Cassidy JD, Boyle E, Côté P, et al.

Day 5 of 100 studies that show evidence for chiropractic. A large systematic review and meta-analysis published in the BMJ analyzed 47 randomized controlled trials involving more than 9,000 patients with chronic low back pain. Researchers found that spinal manipulative therapy produced similar improvements in pain compared with other recommended treatments, along with small improvements in physical function. Most reported side effects were mild and temporary, such as soreness. Chronic low back pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and studies like this help clarify which conservative treatments may help patients manage symptoms and improve function.

Does chiropractic actually work for acute low back pain? A 2017 JAMA systematic review and meta-analysis of 26 randomized controlled trials looked at spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) for acute low back pain. The result: Patients receiving spinal manipulation experienced statistically significant improvements in both pain and function for up to 6 weeks compared to control treatments. Most adverse effects reported were minor and temporary, such as temporary soreness or stiffness. This study is notable because it pooled evidence from multiple randomized trials—one of the strongest forms of clinical evidence. In other words: chiropractic spinal manipulation isn’t magic, but it does produce measurable clinical benefit for acute low back pain. Evidence beats opinion. Every time. Study: Paige NM, et al. Association of Spinal Manipulative Therapy With Clinical Benefit and Harm for Acute Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. JAMA. 2017. PMID: 28399251.

Day 3 of 100 studies that show evidence for chiropractic. A randomized clinical trial published in Annals of Internal Medicine compared spinal manipulation, medication, and home exercise for people with neck pain. Researchers followed 272 patients for up to a year. The result? Spinal manipulation provided greater pain relief than medication at several time points, and outcomes were similar to exercise long-term. Research like this helps us understand which treatments actually help people recover from common spine conditions. Study: Bronfort G et al. Annals of Internal Medicine, 2012. Bronfort G, et al.

Day 2 of 100 studies on chiropractic and spinal manipulation. Today we’re looking at one of the most important back pain studies ever conducted: the UK BEAM Trial. This large randomized clinical trial examined how different treatments for persistent low back pain compare in real-world primary care settings. More than 1,300 patients across the United Kingdom were included in the study. Researchers compared: • standard medical care • exercise therapy • spinal manipulation • a combination of manipulation and exercise The results helped shape how modern clinicians think about treating back pain. Both exercise and spinal manipulation improved outcomes compared with usual care alone, and the combination of treatments produced the best results. This is an important concept in modern spine care: multimodal treatment. Instead of relying on a single intervention, combining approaches often leads to better outcomes. That principle is now reflected in many clinical guidelines for managing low back pain. In this video we break down what the researchers actually did, what they found, and what it means for patients and healthcare providers. Study UK BEAM Trial Team.

My reason for keeping our doors open came down to a simple question: Does chiropractic care play a vital role in our society’s health care? If my answer to this question was “No” then the decision would be easy. The most responsible thing to do would to be to shut our doors and do the best we could to support our employees. But my answer was “Yes” and I want to let you know why.
