“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]”
There are literally some clinics that have chiropractors in training who aren’t as qualified to do chiropractic as experienced chiropractors. I know a place where they use chiropractors who are still in training and developing experience, and lots of people say to avoid it and go to more professional chiropractors.
I will be more clear. The skills and qualifications of a chiropractor are nothing. If I were more charitable, I’d say that their treatments do not work the way they say they do. It’s based on assertions that are at odds with reality and so far in testing, reality has always won. You can not be skilled at a thing when that thing is not real so a chiropractor and chiropractor-in-training are six of one and half a dozen of the other.
You can study fantasy for years and interact with people who play along with your fantasy. Pretending that fantasy is medicine is dangerous and unconscionable.
