How does chiropratic spinal adjustments work?!


Question:

How does chiropratic spinal adjustments work?

I went to see a chiroprator for stiff neck problem. He told me that I have subluxation of the cervical spine and it will take repeated treatments for a year to fix it. How exactly does he adjust the spine and how does the spine get fixed by such adjustments?


Answers:

Talk to a real doctor. The 'adjusting' done by chiropractics is potentially dangerous.

There are two schools of chiropractic, though. One school thinks that it can cure diseases by 'adjusting' the spine. The 'thought' (if it can be called that) is that this fixes the 'bad energy'. This is straight chiropractic. The other types are less insane, and somewhat less dangerous.

The link below provides a FAR more comprehensive analysis of this practice than I could ever go into. It also provides references to studies done on chiropractic.

You should really just avoid these guys and gals. They aren't 'doctors' in any trustworthy sense... especially those that buy into the notion of energy manipulation to cure disease. Those folks are mired in magical thinking.
