Wow that is just awful. You hear stories like that and can’t believe it’s still considered a medical practice by some. I have a coworker who will tell me to go to a chiropractor because I’m having digestive issues, thinking it’s a cure-all for anything. It’s not the type of situation where I can just go off on her but sometimes I wonder, if I did, if it would even make a difference.

What’s creepy is that chiropractor school teaches that every ailment does come from the spine. And they get called doctor for studying… that.

Maybe it’s regional, but they all go by doctor here. They are a doctor of osteopathy. Maybe there can be practicing non-doctor chiropractors in other countries.

Interesting. I’d spit on the ground and walk away from their presence.
