No, I did not imply at all that you are an ignorant fool, and I do not think you are based on your post.
You did not in any way issue a blanket denunciation of Chiropractic based on one visit to one provider that may or may not have worked, calling all of them “quacks”.
You are doing what any sensible, thoughtful, and critically thinking person might do in the event a treatment provided little or no relief, and that is to get another opinion, or go to a different chiropractor or clinician.
That is what wise people do. I didn’t hear you say all Chiropractic clinicians are quacks.
People forget that clinicians, Physician or Chiropractic, are human, and fallible. Some of them are really good, and some of them are really bad. If one does not get relief, you try another. That is accepted practice. You don’t decry the entire population based on one experience, as some people do.
I say it this way; "Chiropractic always works...Chiropractors do not always work."
I want to thank you for being a reasoned, logical voice on this topic.
I am often disappointed in the judgmental epithets that are ignorantly thrown around here.
Chiropractic evolved from bonesettingwhich has been around for thousands of years - even before Hippocrates!
One famous bonesetter was Dr. Reese:

Interesting story, the medical doctors in Ohio tried to quash his practice (he was upstaging them, doncha know) - long story short - he helped the crippled woman they had presented him with (as a test and a trap). They granted him a license!
