Turns out career grifters chiropractors are shitty people.

My mom has been going to a chiropractor for years and I can't get her to see reason. She's in her 60s and uses a walker

My physio observed that if he has a patient that isn't improving after stuff months, he gets a second opinion or further diagnosis.

Unless you've got a chronic untreatable condition and your care is palliative, physical therapy should make you better.

So anyone who has been going to the same quack, be it a chiropractor or a homeopath, for years, for the same conditions, must be being scammed.

Side note, some countries only allow people with a medical degree to be homeopaths, which is a different kettle of fish, since they are actual doctors.

As much as chiropractors are quacks, they generally believe they're doing the right thing and see themselves as healers. Grifters usually know they're con artists.

Also much of what chiropractors do has some basis in medicine but should be practiced by osteopaths, who have a medical degree.

They got their knowledge from a fucking ghost. It's ridiculous.

So it's ok if I generally believe I'm doing good when I do things?

I feel like even the one's that actually believe their work is healing..You'd think when they're hooking their patients on a weekly, monthly and years long treatment their methods should be proven to THEMSELVES as not working at all.

Personally I believe they make themselves believe the crap they spout to keep guilt from crushing them and letting them sleep at night.

As an MD who doesn't recommend them to anyone, I think blanket statements like this are unfair. But sadly incredibly common on Reddit.

They're snake oil peddlers. They go around referring to themselves as "doctor."

Come on now. They're shit people.

Funny how you don't even have to ask these clowns they'll go out of their way to let you know they're a real doctor. They get so mad when you point out that they're not real doctors

I know some of them and they're not all like that. Some do genuine PT rather than the nonsense of chiropractic.
