She has some back spasms and arthritis in her back I guess. I've always thought they were money grubbing quacks and borderline dangerous. What say you Dr. GBS? Any good/bad/funny stories about back crackers?

i went with a friend to a chiropractor once and there was a lady sitting in the waiting room with her feet in a tub of water and the Dr said it was a filtering system to remove impurities from the body

they're going to give your wife serious spinal damage which they will then attempt to cure with expensive quartz crystals

remember, if "alternative medicine" worked they would just call it "medicine"

A guy in my high school used to eat erasers, laminated paper, and staples for attention

Now he's a chiropractor

i recommend that she first visit an acupuncturist and aromatherapist to make sure her qi channels are all flushed out

Thanks for this, but this site led me to this:
http://skepdic.com/chiro.html

Which is really full of info, but has a weird misspelled URL that I don't want to send my wife.

Find a physical therapist or something idk. At best she'll get a massage that makes her back feel better temporarily, at worst she'll come away with worse problems than she went in with.

A good chiro will be more like a PT.

A bad chiro will be like a preacher.



A good chiro will sell you eggs.

A bad chiro will sell you magic beans.


All chiros are crazy.

the consensus seems to be 'sever immediately'

depending on which chiropractor you go to, they may handle that already

Tell her to go see a physical therapist. Chiropractors are quacks.

Threaten divorce if she intends to go to a chiropractor.

invent your own treatments and insist other people respect them as real medicine and that insurance companies cover your work (make sure its cheaper than real medicine though or they wont)

they really have a good business model, except for the malpractice cases. Or do they get a pass at those too b/c they aren't licensed.

I had some terrible spasms for a while due to an injury and went to a chiropractor. It hurt like hell and made no difference.

Go to an asian massage parlor instead. Its way cheaper and you leave with a smile on your face.
