• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have a lot of misaligned joints and crack them all the time. However, I know how to do it with the right amount of force and angle to get a ”damp” crack that stimulates synovial fluid production.

Seeing the commercials chiropractors make themselves is just painful. They seem to be giving way more force and angle than what the patients need. You can hear their joints weren’t ready for that manoeuvre.

I once Asked a D.O. who did manipulations what the difference was between him and a chiropractor. He told me he knew how to do the same things in a more gentler way. I like chiropractors as long as they are not too adamant in thinking they can heal most anything.

Chiropractic relies on vitalism which is basically a magical energy.

I’m surprised a Christian would go for that.

I don’t know what you mean, but having a bad posture and misaligned joints will make you feel tired, stagnate blood flow etc which will lead to other problems along the line. So I’m sure people feel better after having their joints cracked. I’m just surprised people don't figure out how to do it themselves and this earns the chiropractics a living.

Having a good posture, which includes the balance of all joints, and breathing, is very important to health, but they don’t teach you how to get it.

Chiropractic is based on the idea that mystical energy called Vital Intelligence is guided by the manipulation of the spine as the practitioner directs this energy with twists and cracking motions.

The actual supernatural entity chiropractic appeals to is never disclosed.

Yes, there are some that have some kind of spiritual base and it is not jesus. There are some Christian Chiropractors though and I think the school and personal beliefs may be different for some? Studies have shown that lower back pain is significantly helped by chiropractors. Since a Few D.O.'s treat patients similarily with adjustments, I doubt they have the mystical notions as they study as much as a M.D.
