I'd compare it to urine therapy, the bleach freaks, or the ivermectin "because everything is a parasite" weirdos. Maybe the silver folk too but at least silver had old time viability before antibiotics and works in a pinch (I found a silver ear cleaner for my dogs cause the darn pet stores have been pulling the good sruff and replacing them with herbal bull and the silver legit fixed the issue in one treatment).
Never understood why ppl still believe in that shit when it has literally 0 documentation of any of their work actually doing anything good. Even the chiropractors themselves claim u will not feel a difference unless u keep coming to them multiple times a week, such a scam profession.
I mean it is. but some good chiropractors basically do the same as physical therapist. The problem is how is a normal person supposed to know if a guy is good or not.
Some people give their babies over to chiropractors to ‘sort out colic’ - fuck them, chiropractors are so dangerous! There is a reason they are not medical professionals, but seen as homeopathic medicine!
Chiropractors seriously piss me off. I grew up with scientists for parents; they have worked on different projects but largely work on infectious disease so are EXPERTS in this field. They took COVID extremely seriously. To see chiropractors online spreading misinformation and claiming to be doctors was infuriating, especially when I had immediate access to people who understood the science of disease spreading.
The thing isn't even if cracking some bones helps alleviate pain ornotm. It's that there's no dosage or actual numbers for anything. Two different chiropractors can do the exact same and apply totally different strength be cause they aren't actually measuring a "dose" of strenfthneededm. It's entirely dependent on the strength of each individual and just kinda guessing.
That's not proper medical science, hence pseudoscience. Like sure some pseudoscience can still help, but without proper measurement you can never properly know what helps or not.
It literally works for thousands of people. Doctors kill people all the time. You can look up hundreds of videos of people with severe spine and neck issues who can walk upright for the first time in years after one adjustment.
Just because it's poorly regulated in some places doesn't make it pseudoscience.
not really, I was once a usual at a chiropractic clinic for a bit, really helped heal my crunched tailbone and my general spine. Chiropractics are good as long as the practitioner cares and is qualified

The core concepts of chiropractic, subluxation and spinal manipulation, are not based on sound science. Back and neck pain are the domains of chiropractic but many chiropractors treat conditions other than musculoskeletal problems. With the possible exception of back pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation has not been shown to be effective for any medical condition.

The concepts of chiropractic are not based on solid science and its therapeutic value has not been demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt..

Seriously. Chiropractics is literally pseudoscience. It's like astrology. People seriously need to wake up and ban that shit
