Replacing the Chiro With the Barbell

Helen was going to a chiropractor three times a week. Worried she wouldn't be able to hold her granddaughter, Helen wanted to get stronger. She joined Starting Strength Boise and replaced chiropractor visits with strength training.

Congratulations
Getting stronger as we get older is so important 😊

I can relate so much to this lady. After 6 weeks in the program, all my years of back pain and dollars spent were gone with the bonus of being much stronger afterwards.

True story between two people with the same pain. My co-worker and I both had sciatica. I chose to strength train it away. She chose to use ice packs and heating pads with Tylenol for the pain. Three months later my pain is all gone. She is still using ice packs, heating pads and Tylenol with no improvement what's so ever. She is refusing to take my advice saying she can get more injured lifting weights. Oi-vey!

good see someone that was on my boast also.. it took me a while, but lifting weights took away sciatica good for me too.

[@michaelroberts9427]

Too many people choose the same path as your co-worker. They prefer to push the "Easy-button" and just take a pill while they sit in a recliner. Our hospitals and nursing homes are full of such people who can't walk, get themselves up from the floor, or even get up off the toilet. Congratulations on making the right choice. You'll have a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

@@michaelroberts9427 Very well put and so true.

[@Dhaadikaaran]

I can’t stress on how true this is. I have a back injury & I was dependent on Chiro & I was putting away weight assuming this would cause injury I couldn’t be any wrong. Weights is what put my back in place.

love her, thanks for this!

Motivating!

You guys need to open some gyms down in Brazil. Tell Rip that, lol!

[@wakeupwitnesses1954]

that OHP form, oof.

[@karansoam]

Exactly :’(

[@Tek-Knight5592]

Glad she's lifting but hopefully she can fix that ohp form 😬

[@anarchic_ramblings]

Kudos to the chiropractor for recommending weight training, but chiropractic is BS. If you aspire to be a chiropractor, stop: be a strength coach instead.

Chiros are freaking tasty that cinnamon and sugary taste!!
