    Chiropractic Medicine works for some things. Their basic philosophy is bullshit but they can produce results in some cases.

    Now they’re only good for a limited amount of things. They won’t cure a cold or cancer but som issues they work like a champ

      The few things they do that work are still better delivered by physiotherapists and massage therapists without the pseudoscience.

        Yeah, going to a chiropractor for joint pain is like going to a witch doctor who has you drink willow bark tea for your headache. Yeah it might help, but a real doctor could have just given you an aspirin, and they’d actually be able to tell if there was more going on that needs treating.

          My Urgent Care doc prescribed me some muscle relaxers and sent me to a chiropractor when I injured my back doing deadlifts so figure that one out 🤷

            There are also doctors who think COVID vaccines make you magnetic, so color me not convinced just because that one doctor sent you to a chiropractor lol
