  Those people started doing it becaus a ghost told a guy that the magical energy flows through the spine and every illness happens because the spine is misaligned and needs to be straighten. You don’t need a doctor to tell you the merit of all that

    (This person is not making this up. This is really, actually the foundation of chiropracty. Don’t go to or support chiropractors. They are not doctors.)

    And you can re align your energy if I tap you at random spots with a magnet.

  Not a doctor but there’s no way that’s good.

    Also not a doctor, but I remember reading, that those practices have paralyzed people - and I can believe that. Definitely not good.

      The neck stuff they do increases risk of stroke. The whole chiropractic practice isn’t backed by medical research.

    There’s a good way of doing this and is by hand and applying uniform pressure to help people with contractures stretch.

    None of that sudden intense pull where anything can go wrong.

  It may cause strokes, but current chiropractic-funded studies say otherwise.

      The ones that get strokes don’t do as many post-treatment surveys

  Chiropractors are not doctors.

  These circus acts cause arterial dissections and worse.
