      The fact that Americans automatically associate back pain treatment with chiropractors is indeed disturbing.

      They deserve a cervical adjustment over the door to their "clinics" as a warning to others. I hate them more than any other kind of quack. Absolute unforgivable child-murdering parasites.

        It might sound extreme, but as someone with a messed up back I agree with you. I've never visited a chiropractor and have no plans to do so in the future

          The way they prey on that legitimate suffering to sell bullshit based on horseshit is so morally depraved. Letting that fester as if it has any legitimacy only set us up for them to become a nexus point for COVID denialism. Whatever violence stops them saves their victims and there are more of those than there are chiropractors. :stalin-gun-1: :shrug-outta-hecks:

            I know, they prey on chronically ill people too. Their defenders were all over the subreddits for chronic illness and spinal deformities back when I used :reddit-logo:.

      Medical quackery in general is outrageous but Chiro takes it to the next level.
