Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't?
KneeTitts@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoBut Chiro, generally, works great for back\spine issues
citation needed, because as far as I know, no efficacy from ‘chrio’ has ever been demonstrated, this is not surprising since its not science based.

Well, I know people like to say this, but I’ve been going to Chiro for over 12 years and I would say the “not based in science” thing feels false largely. I’ve had slipped discs, nerve compression, and a misaligned vertebra that I get treated for. The adjustments bring me great results time and time again.
Even the Mayo clinic agrees that chiro has benefits. www.mayoclinic.org/…/pac-20393513
Don’t just believe whatever you hear about health stuff. Too much misinformation out there.

Chiropractic was literally invented by a man who didn’t feel like he needed to go to medical school. It is not based in science. This is not some new misinformation campaign. It has been well known, since the inception of it. Do some research on it if you don’t believe me. It’s quackery. It’s nice that it seems to have helped you. But again, not science.

It’s considered complementary therapy in modern medicine, much like physical therapy or massage work. I understand where you are coming from, but chiropractic work, when done by LEGIT practitioners is immensely helpful to millions of people and is also recommended by doctors and physical therapists all the time.
Perhaps you should brush up on the modern takes on chiro. healthline.com/…/is-chiropractic-pseudoscience www.mayoclinic.org/…/pac-20393513

But you have to keep going back?

At times, it’s like doing physical therapy. It helps but doesn’t cure things, usually you are doing it in conjunction with Physical Therapy. I only go when I need to personally. Sometimes I don’t go for over a year or two, then I’ll have short stint of treatment, then back to time off.
