    Chiropractors are not doctors in any shape or form. There is no scientific data to backup the idea that popping random joints somehow cures illnesses. They’re nothing more than snake oil salesmen who have no clue WTF they’re actually doing.

      Not to defend chiropractors or anything, but they legitimately have a doctorate degree and are given the title Chiropractic Physician.

      Whether their studies they do in school are nonsense, they do get a degree for it. So they are technically doctors in some shape or form.

      Honestly there is likely some small value in what they do, but that small value has almost definitely been absorbed into the Doctor of Osteopathy (actually medical doctor-like role), so I don’t see the need for them. Definitely think physical therapists are much more beneficial.

      correction: chiropractors are not backed by studies funded by people who own companies that require you to pop pills for long periods of time.

      remember that. and stop burying your heads in the sand like republicans do. it’s a sad and pathetic look for you.

        Found the unlicensed chiropractor. Get bent dude. Chiropractors have caused more pain and suffering to people than they have ever helped. They’re nothing more than glorified physical therapists.

        Also its a pretty pathetic look for you that you have to make this political.

          found the idiot who thinks that anyone supporting real facts is a fake.

          taken straight from a medical journal funded by real medical research not RFK style research (aka not from the hacks that say that vaccines and pills created autism) for orthopedics: Chiropractic care is an evidence based effective option for spine and joint injuries.

          the only hack Chiropractors O have found are a bunch of Americans. Every other country in the world recognizes both chiropractors and alternative medicine as valid options. but I wouldn’t expect a fake leftist like you who gets his facts from Fox News to know the difference between fact and propaganda.
