"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]"

Anything a chiropractor can do that will actually help, a PT can do better. They'll also teach you what exercises to do to prevent needing to see them again.

A chiropractor will just tell you to come to them more often, and take more of your money over time.

You can save a lot of money by just going to a masseuse instead of a chiropractor. People attribute the positive feeling they get from attention to well being improvements, and pseudoscience practitioners certainly achieve that at a premium price. If it's attention you want, get a massage, otherwise go to a PT and get some real help.

Also I think a massage therapist will tend to be more educated on the muscles and how they work together than a masseuse

[-] Gregorech@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

A massage therapist tends not to provide the "extras" that you can get from a strip mall masseuse.

Just make sure they're not a cop first.

[-] deadsenator@lemmy.ca 9 points 7 months ago

That would not be a happy ending to the story.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Depends on for whom. A good bust makes nearly everybody happy.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Busting makes me feel good

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I don’t care, I’ll come on a cop.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

In some places and depending on the specific details, the punishment for that offense wouldn't include jail time. Instead of a crime, it's just a penile code violation.

Or after the extras.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

That's what they're for

My wife, bless her innocent heart, still doesn't get this. She's been to every strip mall, Groupon massage studio in the area and is constantly like "wow, I can't figure out why these $75/hr massages are so hit or miss."

I have tried explaining to her that it's because she doesn't have a penis, but she still doesn't get it.

[-] frokie@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

How prevalent are these? I’ve always wanted to try but can never tell which is a safe place to approach

[-] SomeRandomWords@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 months ago

I can't believe I know this, but RubMaps used to (might still be?) a thing. If you looked at the outside of them on Google Maps you could very quickly start to pick up on the patterns among the listed locations.

[-] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago
