But of course--when my hip & back get gimpy, my chiropractor fixes me right up with one $25 office visit and no drugs.

When I developed serious low back problems, my orthopedist, who was postiviely crestfallen that surgery was not indicated, tossed me a 'script for Celebrex and told me to knock off the exercise. Luckily, I was smart enough to investigate alternatives with a chiropractor. Saved my life (maybe literally). I can see why the Sawbones are so upset.

"chiropractic is a "pseudo-science" that leads to unnecessary and sometimes harmful treatments."

And of course we all know that these things would NEVER happen with regular M.D.s

I'm pretty surprised by the blanket condemnations here. I have nothing but good things to say about the two chiropractors I have visited. Both treated the problem I went in for (successfully) after medical doctors had 1) sent me off for pain killers and 2) suggested I knock off playing racquetball. And in both cases I had only a couple of appointments.

I know some of them are interested in nothing but signing you up for a lifetime of appointments and figuring out how to charge your insurance company...sort of like medical doctors :)
