This vibrating piece of plastic on a gearbox goes for $1,000. Chiropractors are something I aspire to be - a fake doctor that scams people out of money.

It's great that so many insurers in the US cover chiropracty, which has no scientific evidence of its efficacy, but do not cover gender-affirming care, which has mountains.
Isn't it to the point where many insurers do cover chiropracty, but do not cover actual scientific physical therapy and recovery?
According to my one friend on Medicaid who goes to a chiropractor, it's much harder to get an appointment with a PT.
I know a guy that went to chiropractor school. Halfway through he realized it was all bullshit, but he had sunk so much money into it that he saw it through. He's a working chiro now, and I think he has made himself 'believe' in it.
Yeah I think a lot of these "doctors" got the sunk cost fallacy going on and start believing all the woo woo shit.
Everything i have to say about chiro constitutes and actionable threat of violence so i'm just going to stay quiet.
I think they're honest hard working grifters. Takes a lot of balls to tell a grandmother with cancer that violently snapping her spine will cure it with the help of gemstones and crystals.
Americans would rather get neck and spinal fractures from cracker boomer ring dinger than go to therapy
A practitioner can customize the amplitude of the thrust to best match the needs of the application.
Honestly probably works better as a sex toy anyway.
my local doc who is right next to my house and in my network recommended a chiropractor when i went in for an acute back injury
i did get the medication i needed but having a a GP recommend a quack did not instill confidence in me
The funniest bit about Chiropractic is that they believe fucking with your spine can cure anything.
people love chiropractors and it is so funny to me as someone whose parents have always been like "do not go to a chiropractor they will FUCK up your spine"
have had multiple friends throughout my life who have been like "I need to visit my chiropractor" whenever their back hurts and I'm always like NO...YOU NEED TO STRETCH...
My back hurts like shit if I don't stretch for like 3 days. But 5.5 minutes of stretching and I'm good for 2 more. I'm fully convinced the people I know with back pain that a chiropractor fixes are actually just getting stretched by them and feeling better from that.
Though cracking your back does feel great too, for me it's just something that happens as I stretch in stead of a stretch happening when I crack my back

Yeah this is genuinely 100% it in my experience having talked to many friends who are intelligent enough to realize "hmm maybe I shouldn't be letting this barely 'licensed' dude twist my neck around" but will gladly keep going because they've correlated their back feeling better with the appointments. In my experience though if you invite them to a yoga class, or just challenge their ego by saying they can't do Downward & Upward dog into Bow pose and subsequently leading them into it if they happen to be one of your male friends; suddenly they'll realize "wow this is a lot safer and more relaxing....I thought getting my back cracked was supposed to be painful" -- actual thing my friend, whose mother used to take him to her monthly chiro appointments, said to the rest of us after we started doing yoga on the beach one day.
Actual physical therapists who also do chiropractory are okay because they actually know the anatomy and sports medicine
The adjustments make my neck not hurt horribly so they can do all the fucking witchcraft they want
The hell is that?
The thing used in No Country for Old Men. Also, that fit
a captive bolt gun, apparently. Your doohickey made me think of it
Wh-what is it?
It's a handheld device that taps your spine. That's it, that's all it does. That'll be 1 grand please.
Is this spinal tap?
Ooh that pro vibracussy

In a moment of desperation I went to a chiropractor for about six months.
I paid something like 75$ a visit to do light physical therapy on my own for 30 minutes. After I got a consult with my primary care physician, who pretty much gave me a printout with a list of exercises to do on my own I got to feel a bit silly and stopped the chiropractor thing.
