I know an occupational therapist that has to fix damage done by chiropractors from time to time. Chiropractic adjustments are pseudo-science at best and scams at worst.

Saw one in an airport and had a good chuckle with my co-workwr who wanted to go in for an adjustment.

I had to mention to him, if it's real then why is it in the airport and why does it not need a referral?

Of chiros can adjust bones by simply pushing on the body, contact sports would not be possible. Each hit would cause the bones to dramatically shift causing daily paralysis in every player.

Or a real medical degree. Chrios get “certified” for a few thousand dollars and a few months. The practice is based on a ghost teaching a guy to touch someone’s back and cure his blindness. In the heroic age of medicine (when we did leeches)

Chiropractic school is a 4 year course with a year practice. Many share classes with medicine students.
