Strange but true

[WillBrink]

Not out of my league by any means, as a physician, feel free to private msg me your sources. Physical therapy, acupuncture, assorted non invasive non pharmacologic treatment modalities may be alternatives to more traditional approaches to specific disease entities/ physical impairments: but chiropractic is nothing more than a massage with perhaps the application of acupressure points. To each his own. I'm sure chiropractic works 30% of the time, like any placebo. PM me to discuss if you wish.

Being an MD absolutely makes it in your lane if you have studied the topic. What is your area of specialty? One paper published in that little known low quality journal called JAMA (1). I also know and or work with MDs who refer to Chiropractors all the time and visa versa. Done "right" both work as a team and respect each others capabilities, as well as know their limitations. Obviously, it's very difficult to study chiropractic via RCT as no placebo group can exist, only control groups. Against control groups, data suggests benefits. Unfortunately, many an MD told it's a sham treatment, and like so many things they are taught, don't question it nor research it, nor communicate with chiropractors. There's some great chiropractors and some sub par ones, just as there is in the med community, but the common theme of arrogance and ignorance displayed by many an MD, is not a good look.

Chiropractors get themselves into trouble when they go outside their lane and make ridiculous claims like chiropractic can treat some unrelated diseases, not unlike MDs giving bad nutrition advice for which they have no training in, but that's another topic.
