How a Chiro can pop a back and then give nutrional advice blows my mind.



My mother is a clinical dietitian and absolutely hates chiropractors for this very reason. She says the things they tell people are misleading at best and dangerous to a patients health at the worst depending on their condition.

while all that is 100% correct. In my experience, the extent of "advice" given to patients is "you need to start exercising & eat better" really doc? Thanks



People go to the doctor when they shouldn't. Doctors have to say something

Not all medical cases are as challenging as the show House. I blame people for going to the doctor instead of just knowing this.

Annual checkups are good in case they detect strange levels of white blood cells, cholesterol, etc.

I understand that. I've kind of moved past the advocare thing. He didn't say the lady's secretary was selling it for her. Its still unethical though if her name is attached.

I have moved on to my hatred of chiropractors. I suffer from bulging discs in my back and those people prey on my kind. "Re-alignment" my a-hole. They make you worse.

If said chiropractor took a nutrition class in college he is probably more qualified to give advice on diet than most doctors.

I can start a seperate thread if you want to let some shite out. I went to a Chiro for a bulging disc at C1-2 a few years back. Chiro work and that machine that stretched my back did wonders but I walked away on the Advocare speech, even if Breesus is pimping it.

Why do you think doctors are know much about something they have not studied? I have seen diet plans and advice that doctors have given their patients and its is laughable.
