Horrifying
amy doctors wanna chime in on this?
What do army doctors have to do with it
He said Amy but she’s out at the shops right now
Those people started doing it becaus a ghost told a guy that the magical energy flows through the spine and every illness happens because the spine is misaligned and needs to be straighten. You don’t need a doctor to tell you the merit of all that
(This person is not making this up. This is really, actually the foundation of chiropracty. Don’t go to or support chiropractors. They are not doctors.)
There are some ok ones that are just physical therapists that can order imaging. My mom was sent to one for her hip and he just gave her exercises to do.
Physical therapists have a medical degree. Chiropractors go to a 6 week scam cult training camp.
Calling yourself a Chiropractor gets you way more business than calling yourself a physical therapist - even if you are a physical therapist.
Maybe in the land of horse paste, but everywhere else physiotherapists are referred by doctors. No doctor would refer a chiropractor.
And you can re align your energy if I tap you at random spots with a magnet. For $120 a week, forever.
Not a doctor but there’s no way that’s good.
There’s a good way of doing this and is by hand and applying uniform pressure to help people with contractures stretch.
None of that sudden intense pull where anything can go wrong.
It may cause strokes, but current chiropractic-funded studies say otherwise.
Funny how that happens eh?
The ones that get strokes don’t do as many post-treatment surveys
That felt great, fellas! I’ll be back next week for another round.
Plot twist: this was never a torture device, it’s just a story of the inventor going “go on, admit it, it feels good, don’t it?” that got blown way out of proportion
Another torture was to force feed the guy with poop n piss until tummy is bloated. then jump on the stomach.

was sometimes used during the thirty years’ war (1618 - 1648), so early modern age (again, sigh), not medieval age.
