My neighbor is a neurologist and told me that an astoundingly high number of people who come to the ER due to a stroke had recently had a rapid neck adjustment by a chiropractor.
I will never go to a chiropractor after what she told me.
Worth noting that the chance of a stroke being triggered by a chiropractic neck adjustment is extremely low, but it does happen, and I bet if you look at stroke cases a good chunk of them recently had a neck adjustment. That said, chiropracters are complete horse shit.
I was willing to accept that maybe there’s some actual medical use for chiropractors except now a large chiropractic chain is one of my clients at work and along with their rampant HIPPA non-compliance I’ve gotten to see how the sausage is made, how much of a conveyer belt they designed that does not stop long enough for any real personalized patient care I trust them less than I ever did (another client is the fact that they also own a chain of “natural medicine” stores which they often place in the same buildings as their chiropractic clinics)
I go to a chiropractor for chronic back pain. they do wonders. the trick is to find someone with actual qualifications, not the sketchy ones that hurt peoole
Why would you go to a chiropractor for any medical problem? Get a tarot reading and a horoscope, the results will be just as useful.
You may very well think that, but my mum had a cold and went to a chiropractor, and within a week the cold was gone.
Fucking miracle, mate.

I work in neuro and this is entirely true.

You don’t get a stroke from a neck massage
That’s a solid argument against a thing I didn’t say.
The results from a tarot reading and horoscope would be safer than going to a chiropractor.

Some of them dabble in physical therapy and do some useful stuff. I think that may be why they keep a better reputation than, say, homeopaths.
