I'm sorry if this isn't something you specialize in, but are chiropractors a scam? I feel like you've talked about them before
For context: my friend is looking to go to a chiropractor, but I don't have faith in chiropractors' so-called "medical knowledge"
Yes. I believe it is a scam
The man who invented chiropractic adjustment claimed to have learned it from ghosts.
There is no rigorous scientific evidence to support the idea that chiropractic adjustment does anything clinically significant.
Some people swear by their chiropractors, including a famous powerlifter & bodybuilder with an absolutely FUCKED spine named Ronnie Coleman - probably one of very few ambulatory people on earth with a worse spine than me.
I think this is just proof of how very convincing and deceptive their advertizing they can be. But their benefits are, unfortunately, completely subjective and possibly even completely imagined .
That is my personal opinion on Chiropractors. I am just one man, and there are many opinions out there. I will never let a chiropractor touch my spine. They could potentially do more damage with no measurable external benefit.
