It depends. Some chiropractors just run a practice that requires you to have things done to you (over and over) for a certain number of visits. This is probably a sign of a bad chiropractor. However, you are starting to find more and more chiropractors and PTs who are better than the physicians where they use active techniques to help you learn the things you’re doing wrong and develop a proactive approach to injury prevention going forward. Stretching and popping (ie passive treatment) should usually be a small part of therapy as most of us need a little of that to mobilize areas (and tissues that we’ve lost mobility). However, stability based exercises that focus on improving “mobility” (ie mobility being different than flexibility in that mobility focuses on developing strength and stability to the end of your safe joint range of motion). I think that a lot of popping that is done in these clinics helps bc they’re essentially mobilizing the thoracic spine (which most of us lose mobility bc of sitting) but a lot of chiropractors pop things (eg lumbar and cervical rotation) beyond a normal range of motion which is not wise. I could go on. See people who use techniques like Stuart McGill, dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS), etc. Also, if someone’s back hurts the problem may not be the back. It could be limited mobility or stability elsewhere (eg hip or ankle) which most physicians, PTs, and chiropractors will not look for.
USAID may have funded a cat park. It was an equality initiative. Animals deserve their publicly funded spaces too.
Just finished Afterlife on Netflix. Amazing.
We will be launching our latest clothing brand this coming week. It will be called “Outlaw Hoodies.” It will appear to be a hoodie that best suits the needs of an outlaw. However, it will actually be a cryptic advertising campaign for the outright ban (outlaw) of any sweater-like article with an incorporated hood.
If I had a superpower it would be holding “the key to the city.” However, it would be hard to beat Conan O’Brien’s Flaming C character.
I’m pretty sure we could help you do a bidet install with our virtual installation service. The in person option would require that we would have to sleep in your bed. That’s the policy.
Have you considered installing a urinal or chandelier in your garage? Maybe a disco ball? We can help! 
Expecially.
I can’t wait for the Labor Day mattress sales!

I played the best role of my life today. Nope, that’s tomorrow. Actually, it was yesterday.
I’d zap this note but nostr isn’t set up to zap with this amazing money they’re talking about. I guess we’re just too early.

It’s a New Year. Happy 2024!
The administrative state is bullshit.
Go have your own blood tested. You’ll find plastic. Not joking.
