Chiropractic is fake science
 

Chiropractic was invented by D. D. Palmer, Sep 18, 1895 when he adjusted the spine of a deaf man and allegedly restored his hearing (a claim that is highly implausible based on what we know of anatomy). Based on this one case, Palmer decided that all disease was due to subluxation: 95% to subluxations of the spine and 5% to subluxations of other bones.

The rationale for chiropractic hinges on three postulates:

Bones are out of place
Bony displacements cause nerve interference
Manipulating the spine replaces the bones, removing the nerve interference and allowing Innate (a vitalistic life force) to restore health.
There is no credible evidence to support any of these claims.

Yawn

didnt read cept i seen chriopractic... (heh sp but then...)...

i was raised that a massuese(sp) will for real shit like that and a chiro will bring your ass bakc weak after week...

welcome to what everyone else already knows

My favorite is when people refer to them as Doctors. Or when they refer themselves as one. It's like the biggest insult to a MD.

Shit works. Combining stretching with adjustments works great for compression fractures. Can't wait to get back cracked again this week. But we all know choking down vicodin and oxy heals everything.

A massage or a physical therapist is much more effective. Key word Quackery

Lol physical therapy. Its like a watered down chiropractor without the back crack. Literally its the same thing; stretching, strengthening, etc. And yes massages are part of many treatments recommended.

Watered down, but more qualified. They actually attended more school. Lolz

Physical therapy is a joke. For my jaw back and hand. Apply heat, ultra sound, some electric shock and light rubbing.

Glad I didn't pay for that nonsense
