I'm no one too special, just a regular trauma surgeon trying to save the world one idiot at a time. Evidence or it didn't happen.

      You paint with a very broad brush. MY experience with both chiros have been good. Both stayed in their lane, and it didn't last long. Millions feel the same. If I'm too stupid to figure out a chiro doesn't cure cancer, that's a ME problem. Don't need or want another nanny.

      No. There are many chiropractors who claim their treatments can cure a variety of diseases, including cancer. And when they use the title “doctor”, it lends their claims credence that they do not deserve, and gullible people fall for it.

Unfortunately it's really a systematic problem bigger than your n = 2 personal anecdote

      In order for your hypothesis to hold water, 19+ million chiropractic patients are unable to determine what works...FOR THEM either. That's more than anecdotal info. Are Canadians incapable of knowing if chiros can treat their asthma, and will just keep shelling out their $$?

      If someone holding himself out to be and referring to himself as “doctor” claims to be able to treat something like asthma, people will believe it. Your “people can tell” argument holds no water.

      Wouldn't it be better to educate people so as they can make their own choices instead of trying to protect them from themselves?

      That's what we're trying to do, Kent, but your mind has been polarized and you won't take actual information seriously.

      Oh please. Again with you thinking you know what I think, what I know, or what my experience is. You guys really need to get over yourselves.

      No one is telling you what we think, we are telling you conclusions from multiple quality sources, with references, that's how real science is done, baseless opinion or anecdotal stories are meaningless.

      People make informed choices re their health / pocketbooks that would have ended chiros if it didn't work for them. I don't need a study to see the effects of supply and demand. It's not anecdotal. Maybe focus instead of why its one of the fastest growing professions?

      Really, that old argument? That’s just a takeoff of the appeal to antiquity logical fallacy. Chiropractic persists because of a slick campaign and little else. They have cured exactly 0 maladies in their history, and you’ve fallen for it, hook, line, and sinker.

          Than you should know that no practioner cures back pain. They only improve function. Chiro’s improve function very well. It’s for the patient than to maintain function and improve strength and flexibily.
