re: Chiropractor kills Playboy model

100,000 people die each year from prescription drugs. I like my chances getting adjusted.

In no way is this shite beneficial to your health.

It's the same thing as a massage therapist trying to tell you that they're releasing 'toxins' from your body.

I disagree and I'd like to know the basis for your opinion.

I have never been adjusted or otherwise treated by a DC, but many have with good results. They also have helped our horses over the years.

Manual therapies often called adjustments or manipulations and perormed by osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists do have studied and verified health benefits and relatively low risk. However, like I have said multiple times in this thread they must be prescribed for correctly diagnosed conditions and performed correctlg and accurately for the above assertions to be true.


In my experience chiropracters often fail to properly diagnose, and overtreat with manupulation for a maximum financial benefit period.

Osteopaths often underutilize their skills as OMT does not reimburse well and is costly timewise For a busy physician to perform correctly.

PT utiluze manipulation in coordination with stretches and exercise dependent on their partivular training and confidence.



Of the above 3 the one with the most complete education in human anatomy and physiolgy is the osteopathic physician, by far.

Plaintiffs brought in a local Chiro, I refuse to call this back a Doctor, as an Expert Witness on a bullshite car wreck case. He tried to talk some big word medical stuff and the Judge shut his arse down hard. The idiot basically destroyed his own clients case and the Judge granted an Involuntary Dismissal mentioning the Chiros testimony in his decision. I was amazed that the guy got on the stand and spouted some of the bullshite he did.

There are some out there who are MDs.

Never ran across any of those. They like being called doctor, though.

When are people going to learn that Chiros aren't real doctors? Glorified massage therapists

It's actually kind of shocking, really.

This is an old Youtube video, and it shows it...but the information is sound and anyone that would consider going to a chiro after watching stuff like this is insane. Just shy of 10 mins long...

Chiropractic is based on a pseudoscientific belief in vitalism

i go to my chiro for any small injury, nagging injury like pulled muscles, aching back, etc. before stepping foot in a hospital.

the doctors are the real quacks. They see you and give you pills and send you out the door. Next thing you know you have a 500 dollar bill and you still haven't fixed your issue.

The word doctor isn't limited to physicians, you clown.

Yeah, but Chiropractors still aren't doctors. Their knowledge of the medical field is about on par with most PE teachers or massage therapists.
