The stuff they do that works is stuff that a physiotherapist will do, just go see the expert.

My chiro has all his training in physiotherapy. So is he a quack or is he a pro? I'm so confused!

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 months ago

If he was a certified physiotherapist then he would work as a physio I can guarantee that.

I think you’ve just reconciled two things:

  1. Internet always says chiropractors are quacks

  2. Multiple reasonable people IRL have praised their own chiropractors

Someone can praise their chiropractor, in the end that's anecdotal and then I could point to all the people that have become paralyzed due to chiros.

All of them are quacks because most of what they do to people is bullshit and potentially harmful, it just happens that they sometimes also do some things that are actually ok but it's methods employed by an actual medical field.
