Default Are chiropractors physicians?

Considering that the theory behind chiropractic is not supported by

medical
science, I don't think chiropractors should be allowed to call

themselves
physicians. In addition, chiropractors do not have the in-depth

training
that physicians about the human body or appropriate training such as
residency.


They do provide a service though.


Yeah, a quack service.

I used to think that they were total quacks.


Used to? They ARE. Your mind is going backwards.

But, after working with a personal injury
lawyer, I've seen a suprising number of mutual referrals
between neurologists and chiroporactors as well as mutual
respect. In a sense, chiropractors bridge the gap between
physical (or massage) therapists and physicians.


Personally, I'd put chiropractors below physical therapists and massage
therapists, in roughly the same category as fortune tellers and
astrologers and faith healers. You know, the KOOK category.

Some people
are highly comforted by their services. Whether the placebo
effect is the main modus operandi or not remains unknown.


Heh. They might as well save their money and pray to Jesus. It will be
just as effective.

Ahhhh, more idiot representation. Good show, "mein".
