These people have to be faking it. No way chopping my neck with their hand is fixing anything. Just stupid human brain placebo at the little popping noise(s).

We should honestly burn these people on crosses for the pure heresy they excrete. Fucking tricksters. Honestly could sympathise sooner with a mass murderer than a chiroprater. Freaks. Total freaks man

There's a reason why physical therapists are concidered medical personnel and chiropractors aren't.

My parents got taken in by this bullshit when I was a teenager and now my spine is permanently fucked. Do not trust these quacks.

Go to an actual physical therapist who knows how to use chiropractic techniques correctly and can relieve pressure on joints caused by poorly adapted muscles, posture, etc. and don't try to tell you it can cure your autism

It is voodoo witchcraft but by god it works for pain relief when it's done right

They are evil, the question has been settled for a long time

They are substantially responsible for the anti vaxx movement as it exists.

Also the premise of their "practice" is communication with ghosts.

I mean it can make you feel better for a short while, but so can a massage therapist with a lot less risk.

Yeah don't fuckin let chiropractors anywhere near you. I'm probably dying due to one of them =)

Does that involve splitting a check at a restaurant? Or a Czech person?

You can tell how hard he's working because he took off his shirt and is yelling a lot. I assume that's an important part of the process.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Do acupuncture instead if you want to try something alternative, because acupuncture actually works for certain things despite it not being super well understood why, and isn't dangerous at all as long as the acupuncturist is using clean needles, which they should

I had acupuncture with electric current running through some needles that made my muscles do things on their own and felt amazing afterward.
