Went to a lifelong friend and he fixed me within 5 minutes.

It’s the only time I’ve been to a chiropractor in my life. 43 years old.

It worked. I won’t joke about chiropractors ever again.

Referring to themselves as doctors I find a little misleading, I have no issues with somethings they do but spine manipulation especially the neck would worry me.

Most people need to just workout moderately and stretch. I love inactive people who go to a chiropractor for every ache and pain.

Heal up, Big Nut.

OK, Hamas lined me out on what's what. I went to a guy in school that did me some good from the standpoint of skeleto-muscular manipulation. But then I hear about some doing weird ass shit like trying to fix blood pressure and allergies, and that is almost certainly quackery.

Hamas (as I understand it, I'm a dumbass) position (that I've adopted after some research because I'm a dumbass) is:

Chiropractors are pretty worthless EXCEPT the osteopathy work they do, which is the manipulation and massage of bones joints and muscles.

It's much more effective to go to a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.), but there are fewer of them because chiropractic is an easier program. There was a GP at the local clinic that had DO on her nametag so I had to ask her about it. Then I remembered what Hamas had told me. Anyway, she as a DO has to do all the residencies and studies that MDs do but there is an extra step for the Osteopathy stuff. So she explained what it is, to which I replied, "Like Chiropractors?" to which she got an incredible **** you look on her face. So I piped up, "the non-quackery parts of chiropractic?" And she softened substantially.

So there is the story on Chiropractors. They do a little bit of treatment based in science and then sell overpriced shit based in snake oil.

Sending prayers Brad! I hope it's nothing too serious.

Maybe 5 percent of DOs perform manipulation. Very little of it is evidence based, or the evidence is poor.

May the Great Spirit spew a giant load of healing upon you, Mr. big nasty kcnut.

And don't be afraid to ask the nurses for some head. It works sometimes.

What the ****?!

Allergies? Blood pressure work?

Holy ****ing shit, there is no way I would go to a “bone cracker” to fix something like that. If a chiropractor is delving into those fields they are nuts.

I’ve flown several around and am friends with one. All they do is crack bones.

I had no idea about the other stuff.

I have seen some advertise in a way to make themselves appear to be orthopedists. Soke advertise having wellness centers, and specializing in preventive health.
