  correction: chiropractors are not backed by studies funded by people who own companies that require you to pop pills for long periods of time.

  remember that. and stop burying your heads in the sand like republicans do. it’s a sad and pathetic look for you.

    Found the unlicensed chiropractor. Get bent dude. Chiropractors have caused more pain and suffering to people than they have ever helped. They’re nothing more than glorified physical therapists.

    Also its a pretty pathetic look for you that you have to make this political.

      found the idiot who thinks that anyone supporting real facts is a fake.

      taken straight from a medical journal funded by real medical research not RFK style research (aka not from the hacks that say that vaccines and pills created autism) for orthopedics: Chiropractic care is an evidence based effective option for spine and joint injuries.

      the only hack Chiropractors O have found are a bunch of Americans. Every other country in the world recognizes both chiropractors and alternative medicine as valid options. but I wouldn’t expect a fake leftist like you who gets his facts from Fox News to know the difference between fact and propaganda.

    The inventor of chiropractic practices literally said that a ghost taught it to him during a seance. Please educate yourself.

      And the origin of doctors thought that draining the body of blood helped cure any and all illnesses. and the origin of most surgeries used today were developed by a Nazi who experimented on Jews.

      educate yourself.

      it’s sad how many idiots think that an origin of a particular activity decides whether or not you should use it.

  this is my general impression too, the origins of the practice is kinda bunk and it’s probably not worth the risk for a lot of people.

  that being said, there are individual chiros out there that do good work. The main person I go to for non-chiro bodywork, who really knows her shit, sees a chiro and highly credits them for her recovery from pretty severe spinal issues.

  but generally speaking there’s other alternative therapies I’d recommend over seeing just any random chiro. Acupuncture can be a game changer, craniosacral work is great for some people too, and both of those are a lot less focused on manual adjustment, lowering the risk significantly.

    Acupuncture can be a game changer, and is starting to become less “alternative” as some PTs offer “dry needling” now.

    Why would you let someone who doesn’t believe in germ theory put needles in your body?

    There is no evidence justifying acupuncture.

      You’ll find more study in the West of “dry needling”, a technique directly inspired by acupuncture. Here’s one recent review.

      I see an acupuncturist because she’s good at what she does, does believe in germ theory, practices in a sanitary way, and doesn’t claim to cure illnesses. These are the norms for modern licensed acupuncturists. I’m not saying every acupuncturist out there is like this, hokey grifters do exist in alt medicine spaces, and that’s kind of my whole point. It really depends on the practitioner.

        Many of those studies in that meta analysis show limited short term effects.

        Because there is no widely accepted sham protocol for DN research, researchers should incorporate cognitive influences that extend beyond the mimicking of tactile sensations to create a believable simulation of active dry needling.

        I also think there’s a serious question about what sham/placebo dry needling would be, and if inconsistent standards could impact results.
