More common than you would think. When my sister was an intern at Baylor’s rehab center she had 2 patients who had been severely fucked up by Chiropractors.

I know more people who've been seriously injured by Chiropractors, than people they've helped.
Chiros are quacks. |

Nope. My mom is still dealing with the aftereffects of a bad chiro appt. Had her 3rd back surgery a month ago.
She should sue, but she insists on not doing it. |

This is what has kept me from going to a Chiro, despite my friends swearing by them.

I get my back cracked but I don't let a chiro yank my neck around.

Then they break your fucking neck and you will never walk again |

My cousin had a stroke in her mid 20s after seeing one a few years back.
Sued him and won |

View Quote Quackery. But then, so is so much of traditional medicine, (e.g. mRNA Covid-19 vaccines). |

True story. Ex fil went to chiropractor, got adjusted and a broken vertebrae which set off a trip to the hospital finding stage 4 esophageal cancer and many broken vertebrae.

I keep being told that I should go to one, my neck is seriously fucked up, but I can and do regularly crack it myself. I trust myself not to break my own neck/back, but another person? Fuck no.
Also I don’t believe that you can “realign” a neck or spine simply by popping it, it just provides some temporary relief for me when I do it myself. Otherwise I would have a perfect spine after doing it myself for over 15 years. |

Chiros aren’t the only quacks. Stop going to the doctor. Everyone complains about the cost of healthcare, but it’s a supply and demand issue. Our local hospital is always packed and my mom practically lives there. I don’t get it. |

Quoted: I know more people who've been seriously injured by Chiropractors, than people they've helped. Chiros are quacks. View Quote 2/3 of the employees where I work go to the same Chiropractor. When I found out he treats tendinitis I went to see him after years of no help from MD. Chiro used a TENS on me, after a few visits I was better than I had been in years. Chiro total cost for all visits was a couple hundred. I spent thousands at Doctors that didn't help at all and just pushed drugs. |

I quit going to the Chiro after a co-worker had a stroke from.a visit

This is news to me. Never heard of anyone getting fucked up by a chiropractor. One straightened my back out when I was a teenager, then another issue in my twenties. Have had the need since. Coworkers go for adjustments now and then.
If anything, I say the person probably had issues beyond a chiropractor's ability and chose the cheap way out(chiropractor vs surgery), and found a chiropractor dumb enough to attempt it. I do know people that's been turned away from chiropractors because they had issues that would have been complicated by getting yanked around on. |

View Quote This "man goes blind getting routine lasik" "man loses leg after routine operation" "woman dies on table after routine surgery" everything everyone does has a chance to kill you this is simply sensationalism to try to push a specific viewpoint without being statistically important "small plane crashes and kills pilot" "motorcyclist dies when tire blows out on routine ride to work" "man dies while slipping and falling in shower" catch a trend there...... It's stupid people telling stupid exceptions to the norm to push a agenda this particular one is "chiro bad, me smart, me nooooo dooooo" |

chiros are quacks, I cant believe so many people still use them.
Find a good licensed massage therapist, it works a million times better for actual back and neck pain than the loony toons shit the chiros do. |

While I was seeing a chiro on a regular basis years ago I all of a sudden had a herniated disc in my neck.
Like really bad. I was not in an accident. Nothing happened to me. I just had a herniated disc with no reason that made sense to me. I have always wondered if it was the chiro who did it. |

The chiropractors I have gone to were nothing like the folks on these YT videos. Some have taught me stretches for muscle pain, worked out some neck pinches, taken care of ear aches, etc. The spine twisting stuff scares me and I wouldn't let anyone do that.

The medical profession requires professionals to operate to evidence-based standards. Chiropractic starts with "manipulations" based on what feels good, and anything in chiropractic that is actually shown to be safe and effective can and will become a treatment employed by real medical professionals. The former are considered to have conducted a "misadventure" if they deviate from what the profession teaches and it injures people. Procedures, techniques, drugs, etc. are constantly evaluated and can and do get prohibited or replaced as new evidence surfaces. The latter injure people simply doing what the profession teaches them to do. |

Chiro defender here (good ones anyway). My back is 12 kinds of fucked, with 4-5 discs so bad I've had a bunch of x-ray techs ask if I've been in some kind of industrial accident. Spinal decompression and manipulation have relieved my symptoms and pain going on 10 years now. My appointments are irregular, and only when stuff flares up. But I also don't let her do high velocity neck adjustments.
Trust me or don't. Call me an idiot or don't. I don't really give a fuck. I CAN tell you that she's helped relieve my symptoms and improve my mobility far better than my regular doc ever did. *shrug* |
