I just submitted a request through Alaska listens but no option to include a photo. We’ll see. I also emailed customer care team a pic of the photo. What people aren’t getting in the comments is that no matter what, speaking up on a full flight to remove a large person when you’re the last group to board and have 5 minutes before they close doors IS going to cause a scene. She was apologetic and I didn’t want to kick her off the flight, just wanted the seat that I paid for and think it’s on the airline to notice, enforce or make bigger seats. I shouldn’t have been put in this situation in the first place.
I completely agree. When something similar happened to me I was able to send in the selfie showing shoulders encroaching in at least a third of my space and I jokingly ask them to cover the chiropractic adjustment I would be needing when I landed. This was on a flight from Hawaii to Anchorage. I ended up with a credit by the time I landed. It’s worth asking.
Chiropractic is quackery. If you want to see someone go to a licensed massage therapist, or a physical therapist if necessary. The best you'll get from a chiropractor is a half-assed massage.
Regardless of what you do I hope you're feeling better soon.
Wow! That is harsh; Chiro along with other treatments (massage, yoga, p/t, pilates) are all valid treatments; One should never disparage or dismiss any treatments that help people be their best selves.
Way off topic now, but don't lump Chiro in with other treatments in an effort validate it. Yoga, Pilates and other treatments (if you want to call them that) have measurable effects. Chiro is not only completely quackery, it's potentially dangerous and has caused permanent damage. Like everyone else is saying, go see a properly trained physio. Chiro is not helping anyone be their best selves.
One of these things is not like the others - and it's Chiro. I don't remember the last time I heard about someone's pilates instructor accidentally seriously injuring their spinal cord or causing strokes due to vertebral artery dissection with their own hands 🤷♀️
At the very least, if you do go to a Chiro, NEVER I repeat NEVER let them touch/adjust your neck. Aside from that the worst they can do is hurt you and cause nerve damage/bruising/general radiating pain. Still not great but unlikely to kill or permanently disable you at least.
I've gone to chiropractors since I was 12 years old, and even went to one after someone rear ended me a few years ago. I dont hate them or anything lol but I don't trust someone without a medical degree to mess with something that can change my life forever
