I bet they'd still try, seeing as they have no real medical training and aren't practicing medicine. Have you heard of the ones that "adjust" infants? Sickening.
Biokineticists and physiotherapists are the way to go, actually have to get degrees and be properly licensed. Unlike these chiropractic people.
I saw one of them trying to manipulate someone with a structural kyphosis/hunchback caused by wedged vertebrae on YouTube. Nightmare fuel, poor guy was shaking afterwards. And because is problem is a structural skeletal one the hump will come back in a week or two. And he'll probably be swindled into another session to "straighten" it.
Yup, totally. No one who's bought into their schtick clues in that if you need to be "adjusted" once a week, the fix is temporary at best, and fake at worst. Why not go to a doctor for a one time fix like surgery?
And, yeah, I've had physiotherapists that were super knowledgeable about physiology and medicine to the point that I thought that they'd dropped out of becoming a doctor at medical school. But nope, they just actually cared about health and fitness and what they do.
The book Trick Or Treatment is pretty good, for folks who haven't read it. Quite good descriptions of all the absolute hoaxes that are chiropractic and homeopathy and the like.
I work in clinical psychology and I am going to SCREAM
Right now, you probably feel the same way I feel when someone mentions chiropractors as someone with spinal problems.
I literally, physically cringe when people suggest chiropractors. Its an involuntary reaction. I know they mean well but holy shit fuck off lmao
All I can imagine is one of them trying to adjust or manipulate my fused spine... 🥶🥶🥶
