The Life of a Chiropractor (5 Facts)

As a chiropractor, I’ve witnessed many successes, been through the struggles, and laughed at the good times. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like, this is the life of a chiropractor in 5 short facts.

  1. We’re really tired of the “Chiropractors are not real doctors” jab. Honestly, it’s just funny now. Please come up with a new one. In the mean time, I’ll be continuing my quest to help more people.

  2. I am constantly judging your posture and movement. “Cell phone guy is going to have some neck issues soon”, “That deadlift is going to hurt tomorrow”, “How have your  ankles not broken yet with all of that pronation?”.

  3. I hear some pretty funny stuff but the most common things I get are:

    • “I pop my own neck, it’s fine”
    • “I looked it up on google, here’s what I have”
    • “I usually have a high pain tolerance”
    • “Are you going to crack me today?”
    • “I heard people die from neck adjustments”
    • “Have you seen that ring dinger chiropractor on Youtube?”
  4. I find myself yelling at the TV or some other social media post when “new” research comes out validating something that chiropractors have been saying for years.

  5. Chiropractors need adjustments too. Arguably, we need it more than you. Can you imagine leaning over patients, dropping on mid and low backs, cranking wrists and shoulders out? It hurts, but part of the sacrifice I’m willing to endure to give back to my community.

I’m sure there are many more great stories that I could share but these should give you a glimpse into the life of a chiropractor 👨🏼‍⚕️

 

Yours in health,

Dr. Glenn Ezell
