If you've had a Chiropractor that has told you s/he can fix your toothache, you should find another Chiropractor. For every bad Chiropractor, there are ten bad MDs.
The theory of chiropractic medicine and acupuncture seem similar.
Those are the ones I went to. But the one who actually fixed my back was a licensed physical therapist doing myofascial release.
I'm American. Funny how people always revert to that tactic though.

Yep. 2009 was a bad year for it, too. I think that was the swine flu year.
He's personal injury Chiropractor. I can give you 10,000 MDs with similar ads. SO of course you consider medical practice to be Woo.I'm American. Funny how people always revert to that tactic though.
There are no set standards for chiropractors, so they can say they'll fix a toothache or a hernia. It's got a looooong history of bullshittery. And yes, chiropractors say they can heal all kinds of stuff more complicated and just as unrelated to the spine as a toothache. MDs have standards and are licensed, and went to medical school. They actually understand how the body works, instead of thinking magic done it. Yes, there are bad doctors, but they get sued and carry insurance. A chiropractor will have you sign a liability waiver.
Look at this nonsense. I could find a thousand just like it.

How do you heal a healthy pregnancy?
You can't cure the body by dislocating your neck and getting a back massage. I'm sorry you've been scammed and can't see it.
Are you sure?

Setting a broken bone isn't chiropractic. Nobody goes to the chiropractor for a broken arm.Are you sure?
The Process of Resetting a Broken Bone Is Called Fracture Reduction
When you break an arm or leg, the bone will often need to be put back into place to heal. The process of resetting is called a fracture reduction.www.verywellhealth.com
They both are manipulating bones in an effort to allow the body to heal itself.
One is a direct treatment of the affected area, the other is based on fraud and supernatural nonsense. We know why setting a bone is beneficial to the healing process. There is no physiological link between manipulating the spine and curing asthma.
I've never heard a chiropractor make a claim that their manipulation of bones would cure asthma. Not even medical professionals claim to be able to cure asthma.
I once posted about the family dogs needing their daily woo (on command when I ask what time it is and count to 3), and this was totally misinterpreted to be a reference to "making whoopie." I actually meant that "Woooo! Woooo!" wail doggies make when they hear a siren. People have such dirty minds!
You're just uninformed about the claims they make. I just posted an example up above. I can find many more examples.

Asthma: Can Chiropractic Care Help? | Chiropractor in Orlando FL | Mauricio Chiropractic
How Can Chiropractic Care Help With Asthma?
Chiropractic care is a safe and natural way to manage asthma at its primary source. It is a very effective method that can decrease the need for inhalers or breathing treatments after starting chiropractic care.
A misaligned spine can affect how the central nervous system works and can cause nerve interference. When nerves can’t communicate properly, the body can’t function and it can lead to a health problem, including asthma. A gentle chiropractic adjustment can remove any spine misalignment and restore proper nerve function.
Proper nerve function can significantly reduce other health issues and even alleviate this disease. In addition, regular chiropractic visits can really boost the immune system, decreasing the risk of getting colds and other respiratory problems that can make asthma attacks even worse.

The nervous system is connected to the spine. Have you ever suffered from sciatic neuritis? I have and chiropractic treatment relieved it.
I'm happy it worked for you. That doesn't change anything. Chiropractic is a faith based scam medicine, riding the coattails of scientific legitimacy.Perhaps. But they may be on to something.

You don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. I'm sure there are some outlandish claims by chiropractors, but that's true for the medical field as well. Some doctors are cracks or scam artists but you don't abandon medicine because of them. Chiropractic treatments have help millions of people live a more viable life. You can't possibly be dismissing this as just scams. Or I guess you can.
I am. I can find countless cases of people saying drinking bleach cures their ailments. Are you going to start drinking bleach? How about piss? Jilly juice? No thank you. The entire premise of chiropractic, innate intelligence, is pure bunk. DC's are wannabe doctors.You don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

And yet the AMA is starting to recognise them as a legitimate avenue for treatment. Even insurance companies legitimize them.
