I must have a huge misunderstanding of what a Chiropractor is. I had always known them in the context of treating back pain and spinal issues, but more recently I’ve been hearing stories of chiropractors being seen for anything a “real doctor” won’t consider.
- rscho 5y agoBecause in the US, chiropractors have been elevated to near-MD-level and can even pursue MD residencies. Which has to be the greatest scandal in the history of medicine. And then americans come and tell you that their docs are the best on the planet... Go figure. They can be good surgeons, though.
- appleflaxen 5y agoChiropractors are a pseudoscience that managed to blur the line enough in legal and popular perception that the general public thinks they are doctors. Imagine if a psychic was considered equivalent to a financial planner. The fact that they might be right from time to time is inevitable, and is definitely somewhat of an indictment on the mainstream providers that they need to.
