The fundamental premise of Chiropractic from its beginning is that all disease is caused by misalignment of the vertebrae, while Osteopathy preaches that all disease is caused by misalignment of the long bones. Neither really makes sense in terms of attributing all disease to such causes, but at least not all members of these groups are fundamentalist about these articles of faith, and so the more enlightened ones can do some good by behaving like physios.

Vertebrae rarely get misaligned unless damage is caused by a major injury but misalignment of the small articular facets holding the vertebrae together does occur and triggers muscle spasms and pain. The long bone mis-alignment theory could have some basis in discomfort caused by poor posture or muscular damage due to past injury in certain conditions - but not all disease!

A good Physiotherapist can teach you all you need to know, and what exercises to do thereafter, in a few sessions. There is no realistic basis for going to any of them for long periods.

(Years ago I was involved in assessing people for Worker's Compensation claims, and giving evidence in court. I'm still friends with some of the lawyers I met then. I co-worked with Occupational Physicians and Physiotherapists.)

But the inventor of chiropractics heard about it from "the other world" so it must be true!
Hard to believe people still believe in this shit in this day and age.

All medicine has, at some stage, been based on quackery.

On the mend at home mate, thank you.

Going pretty well, very keen to be at AO for Round 1 so she's got a reason to do the rehab right.

Booney’s mum’s a gun. In and under distributor to the outside runners.

No coming back via Port Maggie’s required!

That makes Booney a son of a gun!

Does anyone else have trouble posting off their phone?

I find that it takes too long to load my post so I double press submit then hit the thread link once I see it’s about to double post.

If there’s any other solutions I’m keen to read.

Is tapatalk disabled??

I don’t even know if I have that, less than 1% of my little amount of posts have been off my phone.

Just tried and it was instant with me.
I have Telstra 5g though, don't know if that's making the difference or not.

Edit: This post took forever to post!
Might be related to the size of the thread or something similar as I tested it in a tiny thread and it was instant and then on this thread it took a good 10 seconds. Will ask Diss.

2nd edit: My edit was instantaneous though! Weird.

I post 100% of the time from my phone & have to submit twice every time.

My edits are instantaneous

It's been doing all sorts of wierd $hit for about 6 months
Posting twice / Not posting / error when you like something

And the no of ads coming up although I dont know whether that's my puter or the website

If I browse on my phone or tablet there's no ads but yeah the occasional time I've looked on my PC there's ads all over the place.
