And yet the chiropractor is the one who can provide you with immediate relief. If you've ever had a fucked up back or neck and pinched nerves, then you really understand how helpful a chiropractor can be. Are they the solution for everything? Of course not. Do they greatly help people who are in pain? Absolutely. My doctor has never provided me with any actual treatment for my back, just drugs. The chiropractor actually treats the symptoms and the causes, and it's usually immediate and long lasting relief.
I bet they also told you to excercise and strecg your muscles while gibing the drugs...
I'm a very fit and athletic person. The doctor doesn't need to tell me to exercise and stretch. Unfortunately staying fit doesn't stop your back from suddenly blowing out when you have old injuries from motorcycle accidents. Sure, I can take the Vicodin and muscle relaxers that the doctor gives me and sit at home all drugged up for 5 days, waiting for my back to feel better, or I can go to the chiropractor and be good to go within a day. It's weird how vehemently opposed to certain legitimate treatments the people on this website are. Chiropractors wouldn't exist if they didn't provide relief for some people. They're not the answer for everything, but they do help quite a lot in certain situations.
Just not in a measurable way.
The plural for anecdote is not "data."
