I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Chiropracters are the modern equivalent of snake oil salesmen/homeopaths/mediums/”Dr” Gillian McKeith
My wife has had terrible back pain for years (she describes it as clamping around her muscles) and generally can’t walk very far without ending up in extreme pain. She’s tried the doctors who referred her to physio, silly shaped trainers which are supposed to help. More exercise, less exercise…..the list does go on. She picks up a Groupon deal for a chiropractor, 2 sessions for 20 notes.
So after going for her first 30 minute session (which lasted 12 minutes) where he prodded her back twice, made the diagnosis that one leg is shorter than the other, used some device that was somewhere between a corkscrew and a bit of old chair leg to “work her bones back into place” he suggested a course of around 7 or 8 sessions…….£300 later (the sessions got more expensive yet the time got shorter, last count was 4 minutes) I put my foot down and told her never to go back.
Quacks the lot of them. And I will happily sit here and argue the toss with “Dr” Paul, I look forward to his massive amount of evidence that he will put forward to change all our minds……although I imagine the standard response I’m afraid I won’t be sending you any information. I am far too busy helping patients to improve their health through natural, safe techniques and to help educate the public regarding prevention and lifestyle management. won’t be long in coming.
edit: The clicky thing in the first video is the device I’m talking about, I think it extracts money from your wallet without you noticing
