There is some (light) evidence that some of the adjustments may be beneficial with some back issues, etc.

Having said that, the field of chiropractic medicine is, just like homeopathy, medical quackery and should be outlawed.

The few accidentally beneficially things should be included with other medical fields, and this nonsense should just be prohibited.

I'm tired of the vast majority of people holding on to childhood beliefs and just letting that grow and fester to the point where they believe absolute nonsense. Yeah, pyramids under my bed will help me sleep because they channel my chakras on June the 15th because I'm a scoprio, or some other utter nonsense. Same as praying to Jesus as night. All of it is at the level of still believing in Santa Claus and the easter bunny. Grow up, become responsible adults, please.

The thing with chiropractors is they essentially market themselves as specialty doctors, and most people think they actually are medical professionals.

I went to a chiropractor until she told me that the inventor of the practice had once cured someone's blindness.

"Bullshit," I immediately thought, and never went to any chiro again.

You can actually say that out loud when people just make up random crap
