Horrifying
amy doctors wanna chime in on this?
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.)
There are some ok ones that are just physical therapists that can order imaging. My mom was sent to one for her hip and he just gave her exercises to do.
Physical therapists have a medical degree. Chiropractors go to a 6 week scam cult training camp.
Calling yourself a Chiropractor gets you way more business than calling yourself a physical therapist - even if you are a physical therapist.
Maybe in the land of horse paste, but everywhere else physiotherapists are referred by doctors. No doctor would refer a chiropractor.
You'd be surprised how many people don't know this and seek chiropractors directly instead of going to a doctor first.
And you can re align your energy if I tap you at random spots with a magnet. For $120 a week, forever.
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.
What do army doctors have to do with it
He said Amy but she's out at the shops right now
try a different pronoun, buster
Tyranny is a woman?! Makes sense 😝
To be fair there's nothing in their profile to suggest it and this is the Internet where gender is about as important as an ice cube in Antarctica
One of the rules of the internet is that there are no women on the internet.
They?
that'll do for now
maybe they meant doctors named Amy?
It may cause strokes, but current chiropractic-funded studies say otherwise.
Funny how that happens eh?
The ones that get strokes don't do as many post-treatment surveys
"History books say the good guys always win. What are the chances?"

Chiropractors are not doctors.
These circus acts cause arterial dissections and worse.
The ring dinger!
