Get vaccinated and don’t go to chiropractors (at least not before going to a real doctor first).
Fixed that for you. There is no situation that going to a chiropractor would be a good idea. They are not medically trained. They are charlatans full stop.
There’s a chiropractor near me who also has a master’s degree in sports medicine. He has being on the medical team for several national teams at multiple Olympic Games. Local doctors refer patients to him and some of them go to him themselves.
I agree that the majority of chiropractors do little good, and sometimes a lot of bad, but certainly in this case he has been able to achieve results that doctors could not.
Your anecdote is nice. But chiropractic is not medicine. It is “alternative”, ie doesn’t actually help. Sports medicine? That’s a real thing that people go to actual college for. Chiropractic? They have their phony schools with their quack medicine and theories. It wasn’t that long ago that the inventor of chiropractic believed everything could be solved through magnets.
Don’t spread misinformation. At best, they provide false hope. And at worst they injure people.
Please don’t put words into my mouth. I never said that chiropractic is safe or useful. I said that this one chiropractor did exceptional work. People should beware of the pseudoscience of chiropractic, not of chiropractors themselves.
Anything to do with adjusting spines is suspect and potentially lethal.
I have a theory that the “good chiropractors” are just people with physical therapy/sports medicine training that call themselves chiropractors to trick people into seeing someone that knows what they’re doing.
My mom got referred to one for some pain she was having and he (as far as I know) didn’t do any quack shit. She was given advice on better posture. some stretches to do, and some other reasonable stuff.
Exactly, it’s just marketing for them. I bet they see the business opportunity in the number of ppl looking for chiropractors, so they do some course and get certified easily next to their real medical degree. Funnily enough, they probably do a good job due to the e.g. sport medicine stuies and experience, this perpetuating the positive image of the chiropractor “profession”

Yeah, if you’re lucky the chiropractor won’t do chiropractic on you. That’s the best case scenario.
My physio has a wall of degrees; none of them from UoPhoenix. \shrug
