      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.

        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.
