    I need something clarified by someone who doesn’t go to a chiropractor and never has.

    I’ve heard it’s all bullshit from multiple sources over the years. I’ve heard they aren’t even doctors most of the time and that there’s no empirical evidence that supports chiropractic practitioners at all.

    Every attempt to research this is met with thousands of results from low quality sources all singing its praise.

    So is it bullshit?

      It’s bullshit.

      It was invented in 1895 by a guy who thought health issues were due to nerves not trasmitting enough energy in the body, which could be fixed by his new fangled snake oil medicine.
