    The entire industry is built on catering to the vast swaths of women who get ignored by doctors and need somewhere to turn.

    I highly suspect doctors are taught in medical school, "women are over emotional and prone to exaggeration."

    Hell, "hysteria" was considered a valid diagnosis until the 1950s.

      This guy gets it. Chiropractors are a scam, but scammers are drawn to people who "fall through the cracks" because they're treated like their problems don't actually exist. Finally, they meet someone who takes their pain seriously. It's too bad the person who takes it "seriously" is a fucking charlatan.

      It falls harder on women, who have more instances of pain that are ignored by the medical community, partially from the history mentioned above, claiming women must be experiencing "hysteria."

      It absolutely happens because of the failings of the medical community.
