chiropractors are snake oil salesman, pure and simple ... a lot of these clinics are fronts for religious organizations -- they figure out a way for their clergy to access the dollars in the medical system, and there is a virtuous cycle as people who are willing to believe in chiropractic care are also susceptible to other forms of faith based manipulation (in colorado you can get chiropractic services paid for by health insurance which ultimately means some of the money comes from the state). I had back pain and tried it once -- didn't know anything about it before but i did it for a few weeks. i tend to have strong opinions about the role of the mind in body function which implies the brain does have significant effect on pain perception -- so i decided even tho there is absolutely no way the little tool they tap your back with 5 times in a session could do anything -- to see if i could pretend like it was helpful ... but when i noticed the anti vax material playing in the lobby -- i decided i'd had enough of the experiment and that these actively harmful belief systems didn't deserve any of my money ...
