Intro to this page

Misinformation is the internet's drug of choice.

In the realm of medical misinformation, the internet thrives.

This page will be dedicated to providing proper information about chiropractic care, a routinely misinterpreted science and profession.

About me: I was a medical student for two years following undergrad. I found the environment to be inherently toxic and abusive. So I left and attended a chiropractic college. Frankly, I had always wanted to be a chiropractor (it's a family business), but wanted to see what medicine could do for me. It taught me how deadly the U.S. healthcare system can be. But it also taught me how to approach misinformation and evidence. How to seek knowledge.

So please enjoy the fruits of my labor.

I will post regular information about chiropractic, musculoskeletal rehab, my own musings about the profession, and anything fun about the practice that I can find.

Cheers!

Chiropractic

I have iced my back,

changed the way I sit and sleep,

gone for adjustments,

adopted new vitamins

reaching for a pain free walk.

Ok so I do not have a positive opinion of most alternative medicines, and this includes chiropractic treatments

But one of my bestest friends swears by it and sees a chiropractor regularly. And I finally broke yesterday and told her that the guy who invented it did so with the help of a dead doctor's ghost, and that chiropractic neck adjustments can cause damage that raise the risk of stroke, among other risks that patients are routinely not informed of

And uh. She did not totally dump me so. That's good

Maybe she will stop encouraging me to try it out now so I don't have to bite my tongue until it bleeds

#she kept offering to let me use one of her treatment devices she got from that clinic when i stopped by her place yesterday #and i was like no i don't trust that #and eventually i had to just come out and say look. i don't trust that entire field of medicine and here's why #it was. awkward #mod post #chiropractic

Chiropractic Misconceptions

This is gonna be a doozy.

Chiropractic was started by D.D. Palmer who got his idea from a seance.

I think this one is really funny. Honestly, no amount of googling got me anywhere with this besides the Reddit posts that claim this is a fact. What I do know, however, is that around 1890, the U.S. midwest was rife with spirtualism and the foundation of two health professions, osteopathic medicine (then osteopathy) and chiropractic. I'm not going to defend D.D. Palmer. The guy was a bit nuts, but he never claimed to have received information from a seance. The leftover religious subtext in chiropractic philosophy is due to the backup plan for chiropractic to follow "Christian Science" which, if B.J. and David Palmer (child and grandchild to D.D.) had not gotten the profession legally established, would have resulted in chiropractic protected as a religion. Thankfully, the practice medical (and legal).

2. Chiropractic is dangerous.

No, it's really not. A meta-analysis completed by the Spine Journal in May 2023 reported that while studies are still limited, the benefits of chiropractic/manual manipulation are present and the risks are rare, but further studies will need to be reported. An older analysis from 2008 also identified risks and benefits of cervical manipulation noting that these risks were negligible given the associated benefits.

3. Chiropractic care does not "do anything."

This one always bothers me. Does it do anything for ADHD or autism as some chiros, unfortunately, claim? No, goodness no. Does it help with back pain, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal elements? Heck yeah!

Here's a few studies for that. I will add more as I find them.

Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Chiropractic Treatment of Adults With Headache

Clinical Practice Guideline: Chiropractic Care for Low Back Pain

Evidence-Based Practice and Chiropractic Care

4. Chiropractors believe they can "cure" anything.

I don't have a lot for this one. Unfortunately, the scope of our practice is ill-defined. Efforts are being made to secure the title of "musculoskeletal primary care," but this is slow-going. Far too many of the old-brass refuses to acknowledge what we are and what we aren't.

5. Chiropractic doesn't believe in germ-theory (i.e. we don't have proper education.)

Chiropractic education is 173 credits and 310 contact hours in clinic. Covering biochemistry, pathology, physiology, anatomy, and technique practice. It is comparable to medical education, minus a focus on pharmacology and the clinical rotations. Chiropractic students either rotate through the clinic attached to their school or through local preceptorships.

And yes, we believe in germ-theory AND vaccinations.

I might add more, but these are the ones I have information on/opinions on at this moment. I want to point out that while our founder was a bit weird, so was medicine at the time.

A good thing to send people who think chiropractic isn't pseudoscience. Goes into the fact that it's a religion too.
