I know a doctor who swears by his chiropractor. He also thinks they are great for keeping people out of the real doctors’ office

Sounds like this was written by an MD. They hate chiropractors.

Some are charlatans, some are real healers. I’ve had good luck with a couple of them through the years.

Before they go there, who paid for the study?

I kind of read from this article that they really did not do a good study on Chiropractic and back pain.

Title should read equally...

Chiropractors may be of GREAT USE in treating back pain.

Exactly - who paid for this study???

I'd go to my chiro 3 times a week if I could afford it. NOTHING makes my back feel better for 2 or 3 weeks at a time than having my guy crack me around.

Where do they get this crap? The whole article battles a strawman from the beginning; chiropractic deals with far more than ‘manipulating’ the back.

All I know is that my friends and family who use a chiropractor say they feel better for it. Isn’t that the point?

IIRC, the Palmer method of chiropractic teaches that 95 % of all human disease arises from spinal misalignment. The tragedy of chiropractic is that many with treatable disease states go to the chiro instead of a doc, and either miss out on a correct dx or lose precious time while a disease progresses.

If I wanted a spinal manipulation, I would go to an osteopath, not a chiro.

I think there is a very narrow range of situations where they can actually do some good, without drugs or surgery. But the ambulance chasers who advertise that you need to go see them after an accident, insist on thousands of dollars worth of xrays and extended “treatment plans” give the good ones a bad name. If a chiropractor actually helps a person feel better, no number of reports by Captain Obvious will change that person’s mind. Each to his own.

LOL. The author of this article has never had persistent lower back pain. A good chiropractor is worth his weight in gold to those of us who do.

Many doctors go to Chiropractors themselves, and send their families.

Chiropractic is like any other profession, there are good, bad, and outstanding.

A good Chiropractor works hand in hand with your physician, and can be extremely effective in dealing with many health issues.

This is the Socialist Guardian in Great Britain, the home of Socialized, National Health Care.

Elect a Democrat who wants Nationalized Health Care, and you will no longer to make your own choices for treatment.

It seems this is just another non-scientific study conducted with a political agenda.

My chiro stopped me from having an extremely risky and invasive neurosurgery that the surgeons professed was absolutely necessary to correct a spinal injury and who laughed at the idea of a chiropractor taking a look. The chiro took x-rays and determined all that I had was a rotation of the spine that was prevented by inflamed tissue from rotating itself back into place. A simple and non-painful manual adjustment to the spine by manipulation of the hip joint rotated the spine back into place. That was 10 years ago and with no ill effects since; strong as ever and no pain or lasting injury.

To try to convince the populace that chiropractors have no positive and alternative treatments versus surgery or drug therapies is to ignore the facts for the purposes of an agenda of financial gain. These “doctors” ought to lose their medical licenses.

I’m anything but an expert on medicine but I woke up one morning almost unable to stand up and, in desperation (because I was certain they were quacks) and after a day of real pain, went to a chiropracter. I staggered into his office and walked out as if the pain had never been there. I was very impressed and, should I ever have another similar problem, will be quick to see him again.

Being someone who first started usinc a chiropractor in my late 30’s I find this article comical.

I feel like Neil Armstrong reading an article that says we never went to the moon.
