Florida has a long history of relatively weak supervision of medical doctors due to a potent doctor's lobby and strong support of chiropractic due to its popularity among the elderly. In know people who have benefited greatly from chiropractic, but the claims for it by its practitioners are commonly so sweeping that they tend to discredit and overwhelm the good it can do.

If chiropractors kept to the spine it would be OK - that's their area of expertise. There's a kookopractor with a local radio show that is always pushing his herbal medicines and talking about how awful vaccinations are. I wish I could lock him in a room full of kids in iron lungs because of polio, but we don't have those anymore because of #$$(#($#! vaccinations.
