Massage is a legitimate adjunctive treatment option. Chiropractic pushing vertebrae around is not.
Yeah. I'll probably be looking for a good massage place, not just for the pulled muscles but, depending on the price, a pay-day treat. I've had some real good massages before, and given the opportunity I want to make that a monthly occurrence in my life.
Of course they do. Chiropractors often stretch tendons and rotate joints which is cartilage, bone, muscle. They also perform hand and foot massages in certain circumstances based on some nonsense about it controlling other parts of the body.
My mom worked as a secretary for a couple chiropractors so I know all about that BS.
Rewatching Daria, I'm noticing how safe it is. I had assumed that it was because it was on tv, but Freaks and Geeks was made at the same time and had at least a bit of an edge -- and that was on a major network, this was on the same channel as The Real World.
Yes, the same channel that was also doing things like censoring "War" and "Nuclear", censoring Beavis and Butthead extensively through editorial control or during re-runs(including destroying some of the originals, according to Mike Judge), Censoring completely innocuous songs, banning videos, and so on. They even censored Maroon 5's "This Love".
Daria was great, but it was a product of MTV in the late 90s. It was always going to be very safe. I'm frankly amazed they got away with even as much as they did - let's face it, a censorship-heavy channel(even compared to other channels of the time) is not exactly fertile ground for social satire.
Well TIL. I never read up on their other properties (never really liked them), so this was all news to me.
It's all good. MTV always marketed itself very well as the youth network, the dangerous, shocking network, the counterculture network, the Alt-culture network, but 95% of it was just that - Marketing. They'd have the occasional show that was genuinely pushing their normal boundaries (ie, Jackass, which was pretty out there for MTV, and almost guaranteed to cause controversy) but even that was a calculated part of the marketing of the channel, because people remembered the controversies that fit the image.
Yeah, the calculated controversies are pretty much what fooled me. I knew that Daria was contemporary with The Real World, which I understand was controversial, so I thought they were lenient at the time.

Don't worry dude - They sucked me for ages too, so I won't be giving you noise about it.
The thing that finally made me twig was a combination of Viva La Bam(which was heavily and obviously scripted, along with being shot on location sets, but sold 100% as an improvised show in the vein of the old CKY videos), Maroon 5, and the song "Gay Bar" by Electric Six. It all came off as really weird, so I looked into it.

There is no excuse to ever go to a chiropractor under any circumstances ever.
