“Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study “fail[ed] to demonstrate convincingly that spinal manipulation is an effective intervention for any condition.”[10] Spinal manipulation may be cost-effective for sub-acute or chronic low back pain, but the results for acute low back pain were insufficient.[11] No compelling evidence exists to indicate that maintenance chiropractic care adequately prevents symptoms or diseases.[12]”
I know this but I still don’t understand it. I started visiting a chiropractor for my first time last year and I’m old. I couldn’t sit for a week. I couldn’t get my socks on. I couldn’t lay in any position in bed except on my back. I went, and I was immediately 80-90% better. Had to do followups for about 6 weeks and I haven’t been back 😂.
I don’t understand why they aren’t.
Of course core strengthening is always better but that’s preventative.
it’s a temporary fix. A patch up. If you don’t focus on proper posture and stretching excersizes, it’s very likely you could end up in that same situation again
This is what I am saying. Maybe I wasn’t clear.
Same boat as you, it at least helped me a bit.
OP is just spouting misinformation that was/is spammed on Reddit for years with nothing concrete to back them up.
Ya! OP is just hiding behind this Wikipedia article on chiropractors loaded with all those so-called “sources” from scientific journals. I bet she doesn’t even have a nice story about a time she went to a chiropractor and felt better.
Glad you came up with great counter evidence though!
