Chiropractors are like heroin. You feel great during but soon the effects wear off and you feel worse until you go back.

Seriously, have her look into osteopathy which is real medicine and is usually covered by insurance. Yoga isn't bad either.

that is only a risk if she actually cracks babies at all instead of going through the motions and receiving big fat checks for putting on a little show

Acupuncture does the same thing but basically no risk unless your acupuncturist is a homeless heroin addict/TCC mod. Sorry, that was redundant.

That might just be a case of cross media marketing.

I wouldn't be suprised if quacks have a "scratch my back" deal going on.

This is what I'm concerned about, that and the new found monthly bill of $400 or whatever an "adjustment" costs.

Yeah that's how the "cleansing toxins through feet" scam works, they also make pads you put on your feet that magically turn black as if they're doing something.

Yeah my wife just did all of this. She had an unrelated injury during her time at the Chrio and they made it worse. Some massage therapy can cause moire damage too with back injuries.

Lol. In the US osteopaths are just as much quacks as chiropractors.
An illustrative point: both deride "evidence-based medicine."

There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.

Doctor of Osteopathy
It means a doctor who graduated from a less competitive med school but paid more money to go there.
In addition to the standard medical curriculum they get training on "musculoskeletal manipulation" which is mostly 19th century hokum but most of them can give a p good massage.
