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

There is no need to be insulting. After you've
gone through approximately 100 m of paperwork
wherein neurologists and sports physicians send
their injured patients to chiropractors, you might
see things a little differently, too. I would not have
believed it myself until I saw it. I didn't say that
chiropractors accomplished anything. I just said that
they provide a service. Some people find value in it.

Many physcians send some patients to chiropracters, including me.

However,
it's been my experience that this is done, not because the chiropracters
have specific medical treatments that are more effective, but because
chiropracters are generally less constrained by scientific honesty. They

can
do a great song and dance for the patient and really make it believable.

The
resultant placebo effect is significant and can "cure" many patients

that
haven't responded to allopathic diagnosis and treatment primarily

because
their symptoms are either entirely psychological, or psychologically
augmented symptoms of real physical complaints.

Unless you tell the Chiros that you "send" people exactly that, you sir ,
are dishonest and a admitted BS artist.. Not one to be trusted.



I not only tell the chiropracter exactly that, I tell the patient exactly
that as well.

And, the opinion of my trustworthiness from an idiot like you is of
absolutely no concern to me.
