Maybe because of the baby whose neck was broken [1], 6-year old who had a stroke [2], and 30-year old killed [3], all at the hands of chiropractors. [1] http:/

  Yeah, I don't know why people get surgery considering perioperative mortality[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perioperative_mortality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perioperative_mortality /s Obviously people die all the time and the cause of death can be attributed to any number of activities that are otherwise beneficial to the vast majority of people who undertake them.

    There is a difference between a surgery removing a brain tumor and someone jerking your neck left and right due to some neck pain.

      True, but your bias is showing. There is also a difference between anaesthetizing someone to slice them open for an elective hip procedure vs having someone analyze your biomechanics and work to correct that through subtle lowerback/hip adjustments and strengthening supporting muscles through various exercises. We could spend days going back and forth like this but it really boils down to you us having different ideas of what we're talking about when we say "chiropractics". I get the sense you've either never been to one, or else you went to a shitty one.

  Who brings their baby to a chiropractor?

    People who don't know better. I would expect someone who claims to be a medical professional to know better.
