Thanks for watching!!! All healing professions that have the intent of helping their patients live their best lives are important in my book. It breaks my heart to know there are people who would try and destroy other professions all because of money.
If practicing pseudoscience is quackery than the answer is yes
Yes they are quacks.
Modern day snake oil salesman
Chiropractic is 100% quackery. There is no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective. You are better off just getting a massage and doing PT. Chiropractors' bread and butter is people getting into fender benders, getting diagnosed with whiplash and soft-tissue injury at the ER or immediate care and then go to a chiro for treatment billed to their PIP. The chiropractor will then treat the person until they exhaust the PIP, which is usually $15,000 but sometimes more. I've seen this over and over again.
Chiropractic care is never individualized, it's the same routine, more or less, for each patient.
Chiropractors also do neck adjustments, which can cause vertribral artery dissections, without informing patients of the risk.
The whole discipline is based on one guy's idea, who claimed he cured a man's deafness with a manual manipulation. He thought every health problem could be cured through chiropractic manipulations. Some chiropractors today still subscribe to these beliefs. It's all pretty whacky.
The problem is that chiropractic appears to be unable to produce data that quantifies thier results. I did see a chiropractor for a while but I'm not sure she actually did anything. So I see the issue with insurance. If you can't measure the results, then I guess it's a stretch to be included on insurance, given that the cost of chiropractic has to be born by all policy holders. If you want to just pay for it yourself, yeah, then knock yourself out.
You didn't really answer the question ive seen chiropractors that are literally selling snake oils and supplements that aren't tested and shit. Idk if chiropractic manipulations are quackery but when you package them with so much pseudoscience I hope you understand b why there's so much distrust
The Chiropractic industry is worth 20 Billion US dollars in the USA alone and steadily growing so putting a lack of research down to 'lack of funding' is profoundly disingenuous. Same argument that homeopaths use. It just doesn't hold up.
Quack quack
Short answer: yes.
Good luck convincing people of this after you graduate.
Short answer: Yes, god fuck yes they are.
that doesn't answer the question at all.
And this is supposed to convince people of the legitimacy of chiropractic providers? You need to take a course in logic.
Palatine OK, thanks for responding. Sharing the status of physical therapist in your country. That is a good point there in that majority of the patient seen at least in the United States by p.t.s are referred by other physicians whether they be orthopedist, neurologist or primary care physicians so they don’t want to overstep those authorities, referring them patients. Of course. And it’s a reciprocal relationship because people are able to go directly to a physical therapist, especially if their doctorates they don’t need to see a medical doctor. Any well prudent and educated doctor especially in physical spinal medicine, knows that x-rays might be an appropriate and necessary part of treatment in some scenarios. So when a doctor of physical therapy has the rights under their license to order and or take and interpret x-rays, that might help speed up treatment as well.
Yes, quackery. Next question.
Yes, next question.
Yes chiropractors are quacks.
Hello! I would like to know if you can make a video showing alternatives of where to live when you go to study at Life University or maybe if you lived on campus, what was your experience or what is better?
Yes
I have seen chiros for low back pain and they have helped me. The issue is that there is no consistent evidence that chiropractic works. Chiropractic also has some wild beliefs and the profession is divided between research based and traditionalists.
You attended life which is one of the worst chiropractic colleges out there so I dont expect you to be well informed.
I think the answer is mostly yes especially if you compare them to real doctors. It does not mean that the profession does not have any knowhow or benefits just like lets say chinese medicine. People often overshoot about things they are passionate about or then they don't care about the practice at all and just want to make money. It is the same with PT and professional massagers. Massaging is one of the most basic things PTs are good at. Their education is much more extensive and they have a much more deeper understanding of the human body down to the neurological level. Yet my PTs always stress that they are not doctors and they do not have that kind of knowhow. A professional massager can claim all he wants, but in reality he knows a fraction of what a PT knows let alone a doctor. So in my oppinion Chiros are somewhat comparable to PTs, but to me PTs are superior and doctors are way superior to both. PT has advanced alot in recent years and now they can take all kinds of different courses to specialize in all kind of obscure things so in that sense they are getting closer to doctors than Chiros and Massagers ever will. People often lack critical thinking and experience in the subject and that is why things are debated even though in reality they are clear as day. I have been disabled Since i was born so i have had my fair share of operations and encounters with different professionals so i think i can safely say i know about this more than most people. So in summary comparing Chiros to Doctors is a huge joke.
Unfortunately, you missed one thing about physical therapy. Yes, there are doctor degrees in physical therapy. I’ve been treated by at least two doctors of physical therapy. But with all their political lobbing and position and position in healthcare, they still are not trained to take or interpret x-rays. I told some of my doctors in physical therapy friends that they need to get on the stick with their politicians and lobbyist because that is where a lot of power lies. yeah, chiropractors are trained to take x-rays to interpret x-rays and to know when to refer to radiologist. I’m a retired chiropractor, and a former massage therapist. There are some practices that chiropractors used that are questionable. I agree. In fact, I believe I fell subject to them at times. However other professions are no different. Example, the long-term use in dentistry of prophylactic
antibiotics before having certain dental procedures to prevent infection. They stopped doing that several years ago. Also in midwifery and obstetrics doing C-sections on first pregnancies that we’re not complicated. All professions should progress with scientific and updated clinical information. yeah, the things that are true, good, pure,and excellent should remain and not be challenged. The medical profession has had some blunders there’s no doubt, including the polio vaccination campaigns. until effective vaccination were produced and distributed successfully the first round caused many cases of polio and complications. By the way for quite some time, chiropractors, discourage people from getting immunizations of vaccinations, including children.
I was adhered to that philosophy for a while, but have changed my mind over the years.
The medical profession means well in someway as far as coming up with a vaccination,for they believe there should be one for every disease ithat is out there. Medical research is very important before the distribution of pharmaceuticals of any kind. for as an old adage says haste makes waste. Adequate time and mannerism of testing is very essential to safeguard the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals and vaccinations before distributing to the public. However, drug companies are very upfront about the risk of their medication‘s from the verbiage you hear after every drugs pharmaceutical commercial with their lovely presentations.
One of the criticisms I have about chiropractic, which was my own profession was the poor use of informed patient consent. in fact, many outpatient medical doctors were just as bad. The patient has a right to know the benefits,possible side effects, dangers of treatment, and the consequence possibly of having no treatment at all. That is what inform patient consent should consist of..
@@selahchunem8447 I do not know how things work in your country, but i live in Finland an here PTs are just that. They can take different courses to expand their knowhow, but they will not look at x-rays or say anything that contradicts a doctors statement. They can make certain observations based on what they know and make statements you can add to other documents atleast that is how it works here.
I know osteopathic school DO’s are taught manipulations but most don’t use in practice because they can’t get reimbursed for this service

I feel like there’s a version of this video where the thesis is “blame the Jews”
This is the most socially worthless profession, second only to perhaps “life coach”.
As a Chiro kid and a newish student to life I had heard briefly of this from my dad and all of our close friends who are also chiros, but I absolutely loved watching and listening to this video and learning more in-depth about this situation! Great work!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for posting this. I am still in undergrad but my plan is to go to chiropractic school. I recently saw a chiropractor on tiktok that says chiropractic and physical therapy treatments are just placebo effects and there's no evidence to show that these professions are actually doing anything helpful. It made me question if chiropractic is my true calling but your video gave me confidence about pursuing this path.
Do you want to go 100k into debt to become a chiropractor that may not even make that amount of money?
@@BigEvan96 It is possible for a D.C to make that amount or even more! Especially if they decide to become pregnancy and pediatrics certified or if they learn a different technique such as TRT or Logan. That would make them more valuable. 🙂
@@tamaragonzalez6336 of course.
@@tamaragonzalez6336 in what world would you want to perform an adjustment on a patient such as a child or a pregnant women where they have significant laxity already within their joints either due to the relaxin or elasticity associated with age?
@@andrewwarren8669 That is why there are different techniques for babies/children and pregnant women.
I am new to the channel. Thank you for the info. I start the DC program in July. Hope to meet you at some point.
Super informational! Thanks for sharing this :)
Thank youuuuu, another great video!!
Thank you!!!
Just wrote my final English 102 research essay over the controversy of chiropractic. As seen in Joe Rogans video, there are people out there that consider them selfs smarter and above chiropractors based on a general chemistry or biology degree. There are actually a lot of physicians that will recommend chiropractic, but people don’t like to talk that. They like to pick bits and pieces of research articles that reflect negative light onto chiropractors and use David Palmer as a scapegoat to say that chiropractic is a sham. Unfortunately as people continue to “listen to science” they will see pharmaceutical medicine as a better alternative when really they should consider chiropractic as a preventative measure. Keep making videos, I hope to make my way to Life U as soon as I graduate with a bachelors.
When I had herniated discs, all of my doctors said chiropractors or osteopaths may help. Never went to them. Ended up getting physical therapy instead. Now I wish I would have at least considered going to a chiro.
Yes 100% thank you for sharing
When the D>O> program started to rise the AMA did the same!
So insane!!
chiropractors did 9/11
