00:00I don't know where to start.

00:05What do you mean where?

00:08Making content online is the priority of the 20th anniversary of Miraflor, the owner of Bukidnon.

00:23But this past month, her video went trending and got millions of views.

00:30Guys, for today's video, come with me to clean my room.

00:35In the video, you can see Miraflor falling from a chair.

00:47Miraflor's story is that she was cleaning her house that day.

00:53I was cleaning my house at that time.

00:56I saw that the air conditioner was dirty, so I just plugged it in to clean it.

01:10I took a wooden chair and I put a monoblock chair on it.

01:17I put it upside down.

01:19While enjoying cleaning and filming, Miraflor didn't realize that the chair was slowly slipping.

01:33When I got up and came back, I touched something and it slipped.

01:39I fell all the time.

01:42It happened all of a sudden.

01:44I didn't know what to do because I was just a guest at that time.

01:52After Miraflor fell, her back seemed to be dislocated and it was hard for her to stand.

02:02I couldn't breathe at that time because the impact of my fall was so strong.

02:07What really hit my body was my arm.

02:13It wasn't injured, it just slipped.

02:18Based on the video, the injury could have been as mild as muscle strain.

02:24The worst case scenario is what you call spinal cord injury,

02:28wherein the spinal cord itself is injured and it can be paralyzed in the legs.

02:33It can also be difficult for her to stand and walk.

02:38After the accident, Miraflor felt pain in her body, especially in her back.

02:49To overcome the pain, she decided to go to a chiropractor.

02:55There might be a root that got stuck there, so that's what I thought of getting.

03:02I just went to a chiropractor after 3 hours, but I don't think anything happened to me.

03:08A few days after Miraflor's chiropractic session, the pain in her back was reduced.

03:16The problem is, the pain didn't completely go away.

03:21It was okay, the pain was reduced, but there was still a little pain after the chiropractic session.

03:30But the question now is, is it safe to undergo chiropractic therapy after falling or crashing?

03:40When we go for a chiropractic session, they actually do high amplitude, low velocity thrusts.

03:44So, our bones are cracked.

03:47With an injury like that, without an x-ray or without an MRI, we don't know if we have bullets in our bones,

03:54or if we have been injured in the pars interarticularis.

03:57When you do a thrust like that, there is a high probability that if there is a fracture,

04:02the fracture can grow or the bones can shrink.

04:08Now, if there is a disc problem or a nerve problem, the nerve can get stuck in what we did.

04:15Miraflor has plans to undergo a check-up with a doctor.

04:19But it seems like she is the one who is scared first.

04:23What I feel now is that I was really hit when I sat for a long time.

04:30Because I don't have an earphone, I'm also scared.

04:33What if I see something on the spinal cord? I'm not ready yet.

04:38She should be examined first and from their R assessment,

04:41we will be able to see if we need to do an x-ray or an MRI.

04:48For now, Miraflor has learned to be careful even with the simple cleaning of the house.

04:56You should be careful with everything you do, especially when you are climbing,

05:03because you can't avoid an accident.

05:06Now, what we can do, anytime you fall or fall,

05:11always make sure that you see a doctor as early as possible.

05:15We will examine you properly.

05:35And of course, don't forget to hit the bell button for our latest updates.
