Chiropractic 'medicine' started off as a sham field , it was never hijacked.

There have been legitimate attempts at trying to systemize the effects of the theraputic massage into something useful.

But I have my doubts that a Thai Massage from someone with a working knowledge of Grays Anattomy would do any worse.

You can't find any masseuse anywhere that will pop your back and other joints, though, so you've got to go with the place that makes you feel good. Until the crazy Uzbek massage parlour finally moves into town, it's the chiropractor for me!

I guess the advantage of a masseuse is that when they screw up, I guess you might get a small bruiser or just an uncomfortable feeling. Meanwhile, when a chiropractor screws up his fake practice, you lose your ability to walk.

Eh, good feeling things carry some risk. You just have to know what you're getting into. It's not science, it's not medicine, but the chiropractor does a better deep tissue massage than anywhere in the area and sometimes you just need your back popped.

I also drink and smoke and drive racecars and spend a lot of time at punk rock shows so it's probably a good idea to point out that my daily living is not necessarily like yours.

No I understand the serious problem with chiropractors and all the other nutty alternative medicine whackos. The only thing I'll give to chiropractors is that some of the techniques can feel really good. Divorced from spurious claims, it's hardcore massage and I like that.
