“Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study “fail[ed] to demonstrate convincingly that spinal manipulation is an effective intervention for any condition.”[10] Spinal manipulation may be cost-effective for sub-acute or chronic low back pain, but the results for acute low back pain were insufficient.[11] No compelling evidence exists to indicate that maintenance chiropractic care adequately prevents symptoms or diseases.[12]”
I feel the same way about any doctor who has a limited toolset, e.g. an MD who only scripts pharmaceuticals, and does not even consider all the other options for the patient. I understand they only have 3-7 minutes per patient, but really that’s no way to practice. “here’s your script, see ya next year.”
