As a nurse I can do pretty much everything a chiropractor can that’s not horribly unsafe and unproven. I can advise on diet, exercise and herbal supplements, I can massage muscles and help someone stretch through range of motion. I even know how to use a fucking TENS/EMS device, and I could probably get certified in acupuncture if I wanted. The only thing I don’t do that a chiropractor does is sever spines and snap necks, and if that’s all they managed to learn with all that extra school they can keep it, lol.
TLDR; all the “doctor” shit they do is actually nurse shit and everything else is assault and battery.
Thank you. I’ve had this conversation with family members way too often. They love their local chiropractor. They always leave feeling so much better, etc. I ask them what he does, what his advice is, and what kinds of questions he asks them, and everything they describe is not chiropractic. It’s massage, or nursing, or physician. No wonder you love him: He’s practicing medicine.
