Ryan T Mijares alias Dr. Terrified Pain

Bottom line

Mostly evidence, with a few persuasion patterns mixed in.

Dr. Trust Me Bro says

Oh, look at Ryan Mijares, the guy who's so good at chiropractic that he doesn't just fix your spine—he literally scares your pain into hiding! 'Erling Haaland doesn't get headaches' because the pain is too terrified to show up, a 'true story' that proves his spinal adjustments are basically a psychological horror movie for your nervous system. He's the master of turning a simple headache into a viral myth, because why need evidence when you can just say the pain is scared?

Score breakdown

65/100
Credentials
The subject holds a real DC license, but the 'Dr.' title and the hyperbolic claim about 'terrified pain' lower the score slightly due to the potential for misleading authority.
45/100
Manipulation
The 'pain is terrified' anecdote is a classic testimonial overload tactic, but without a product funnel or concrete medical advice, the manipulation index is moderate.
15/100
Sales funnel
No supplements, labs, or store links were detected, so the sales funnel is minimal; this is a brand-building clip, not a direct grift.

Few outbound commerce links detected.
100/100
Evidence gap
1 of 1 literature-checked claim unsupported.

The hyperbolic, viral-style claim ('True story') is a hallmark of the influencer bro persona, but the lack of a commercial funnel keeps the score from the extreme high range.

Direct answer

Often searched as Dr Ryan T Mijares. Dr. Trust Me Bro analyzed Ryan T Mijares's claim that "Erling Haaland doesn’t get headaches. The pain is too terrified to come out. True story" using transcript and metadata cross-checked against academic sources. Peer-reviewed literature indicates the claim is not supported by peer-reviewed evidence: There is no high-quality evidence supporting the literal claim that a specific individual, such as Erling Haaland, “doesn’t get headaches” and that “the pain is too terrified to come out. ” This is clearly rhetorical or humorous rather than a medical statement. No index paper provided addresses Haaland specifically or supports the notion that any person is biologically exempt from headache. The broader literature does show that regular athletes may have a somewhat lower prevalence of headache than non-athletes, but still a substantial proportion experience headaches, often in relation to exertion, concussion, or other triggers. [3] Large epidemiologic studies and reviews show that headache is extremely common in humans, including athletes, which contradicts the idea that an elite athlete would never get headaches. The general headache literature indicates very high lifetime and 1‑year prevalence of headaches and migraines in the population, often in the majority of adults. Reviews of headache in athletes similarly report that both traumatic and non-traumatic headaches, including exertional headaches and migraines, frequently occur in sports participants and are a common clinical problem. [2][5] Studies of athletes after concussion also report headache as the most common symptom, with very high rates among those who sustain head injuries. Additional contemporary data from sports medicine and epidemiology research show that while athletes may sometimes report lower overall headache prevalence than non-athletes, substantial proportions (often around one-third to one-half, depending on sport and study) still report headaches, including exercise-induced headaches and migraines. [1][4] Together, these lines of evidence strongly contradict the notion that elite athletes, as a group or individually, do not experience headaches at all. Mainstream medical and scientific consensus is that headache is one of the most common human neurological symptoms, with very high lifetime prevalence in the general population and substantial prevalence in athletes. There is no recognized biological mechanism or evidence that any person—elite athlete or otherwise—is completely immune to headache. Expert reviews and clinical guidelines treat headaches and migraines in athletes as common, important conditions that require proper diagnosis and management, particularly in relation to exertion and concussion. Statements such as “he doesn’t get headaches, the pain is too terrified” are understood as figurative or humorous, not factual medical claims.

Key findings

  • Testimonial Overload: The influencer uses a hyperbolic, unverified anecdote about a famous athlete to imply their chiropractic method can 'scare away' pain, relying on a single 'true story' rather than clinical evidence.see section ↓
  • Claim "Erling Haaland doesn’t get headaches. The pain is too terrified to come out. True story": not supported by peer-reviewed evidence.see section ↓
  • Dr Ryan T Mijares is marketed with a doctor title, but reviewed credentials indicate Chiropractor (DC) rather than an MD/DO physician license.see section ↓
  • This clip relies on a viral, hyperbolic testimonial ('pain is terrified') to sell a chiropractic brand without a visible product funnel. The money flow is likely indirect: engagement-driven brand trust leading to future appointment bookings, rather than a direct supplement/lab kickback scheme.see section ↓

Testimonial Overload

transcript · cited

The influencer uses a hyperbolic, unverified anecdote about a famous athlete to imply their chiropractic method can 'scare away' pain, relying on a single 'true story' rather than clinical evidence. Likely motive: To create a viral hook that suggests miraculous results without medical backing, driving engagement and brand trust.

False Authority

transcript · cited

Labeling a biologically impossible claim (pain being 'terrified') as a 'true story' attempts to lend false credibility to a chiropractic intervention that has no mechanism to affect the psychological state of pain. Likely motive: To bypass skepticism by framing a joke or metaphor as a factual medical outcome.

Hi, A reader of Dr. Trust Me Bro thought you might know something firsthand about Ryan T Mijares and the public claims we documented here: https://drtrustmebro.com/influencer/-gH7gUItIMAFDMG74BaG7#report We are independent journalists that are focused on uncovering grift and manipulation perpetrated by medical practitioners that are operating outside their licensed scope. We want to hear from insiders: employees, former employees, accountants, billing staff, sales reps, IT staff, anyone who knows. Worth telling us about Ryan T Mijares: - Medicaid or Medicare overbilling - Care plans structured to funnel someone's grandma toward an upsell for money. - Insight into the real reason they refuse insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, not the version they give the public - Upselling unnecessary tests and panels - Kickbacks for lab, vendor, or other referrals - Discussions or policy, written or otherwise, that steers patients away from physicians properly licensed for the care Ryan T Mijares is treating out of scope - Any scheme to squeeze a few more dollars out of grandma We are especially interested in how Ryan T Mijares handled payment and coverage: were people told to swipe an FSA or HSA card at checkout, handed a superbill or receipt to submit themselves, or told the service is not covered by insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid? Here is why that matters: https://drtrustmebro.com/patterns/fsa-hsa-loophole You can reach the confidential tip line here, on the record or anonymously: https://drtrustmebro.com/whistleblower You can also simply hit reply to this email and start the conversation here.

Firsthand details help most: how payment and coverage were handled (FSA/HSA card vs. a superbill to submit, declining Medicare/Medicaid). More on the FSA/HSA loophole.
