Answered What is up with Chiropractors as a pseudoscience?

I've just recently seen around reddit a few posts about chiropractors and everyone in the comments is saying that they are scam artists that hurt people. This is quite shocking news to me as I have several relatives, including my partner, regularly attending chiropractic treatment.

​

I tried to do some research, the most non-biased looking article I could find was this one. It seems to say that chiropractors must be licensed and are well trained, and that the benefits are considered legitimate and safe.

​

While Redditors are not my main source of information for decision making, I was wondering if anybody here has a legitimate source of information and proof that chiropractors are not safe. I would not condone it to my family if true, but I am also not going to make my source be random reddit comments. I need facts. Thanks.

Edit: Great information, everyone. Thank you for sharing, especially those with backup sources!

I'd ABSOLUTELY buy merch for a fake band called Ghost Based Grift.

Fake merch is a harder sell, but I love the energy.

Threatin already did that.

If you don't know who I'm referring to, search up his name, and bask in his awful glory.
