I'll bring popcorn this time....

The quacks don't like the cracks intruding on their profitable space!
Butter on that popcorn?
For too long the surgeons and dope peddlers have controlled the discussion on healthcare. With a Chiropractic school in a major university we can initiate studies that compare the two approaches for a host of ailments........and let the data speak for itself.
I've tried chiropractic but it's done nothing more than leave me with a headache. However, I know many people who get relief from adjustments instead of looking for just the right drug to correct the problem. Whatever works.
Next up....the University of FL Dept. of Massage and Aromatherapy.
This makes a great deal of sense. So does Naturopathy which focuses on building health to prevent disease. What an out-of-the-mainstream concept...unfortunately. All this emphasis on "curing" disease and none on preventing it.
Sure,
You can give people sugar pills and all sorts of aches and pains will magically go away ;)
When I had back problems for 8 months, all doctors would do is prescribe painkillers and the like. The Chiropractor went to work on me and inside a month I was back to normal. Pseudo-science my a$$
It's quite common to actually get headaches for the first several visits as your spine becomes adjusted to a different alignment. Depending on your need, you can eventually taper back to maintenance visits. The money I have saved in not buying cases of Motrin and the relief from alternating numbness and pain has easily paid for my Chiropractic health care. Just be sure to find a reputable Chiropractor who will examine you and your xrays BEFORE determining if he/she can treat you. As with ANY profession, there are always those who should not be in business.
More chiropractos equals more lawsuits?
If doctors are so smart, then why do they call their job "practice" ?
After seeing several of these types of threads, I have come to the conclusion someone needs to post the "Not this S**t Again!" picture.
For some reason, this subject brings out the worst in people. People just keep repeating the same things over and over again.
I live in the heart of chiro country, not far from Palmer. Too many choices!
And don't forget the threads on diet, and what to eat, what not to eat and why.
MDs and ODs are an arrangent lot.
