Everyone at my mrs work (physios, physios everywhere) are insanely outraged at this Catalyst story about Chiropractors. Just thought I'd share it.

Who here goes to Chiros? Thoughts about their usefulness compared to other remedies, etc?

Totally agree.
Which begs the question, for those chiros practicing true skeletal therapy, how do they differ from a physio? And if they don't differ, shouldn't chiropractic be binned and there be a greater intake for physiotherapy?


They aren't going to bin it, for the same reason they aren't going to bin courses on homeopathy. Because idiots pay for it, which means other idiots want to learn about it, and the universities don't want to give up the funding they get for these junk courses.

If it were up to me I'd be banning the lot.
