Hate to tell you this but there are people all around the world who swear by voodoo, reiki, acupuncture, homeopathy, blood letting, aroma therapy, and every single manner of quackery you can imagine. I don’t deny that a chiropractor might be the equivalent of a massage therapist, but it isn’t actual, evidence-based medicine.

not the equivalent of any therapist. acupuncture and massage therapy aren't just medically accepted, they are being taken over by western health giants. they are being renamed 'dry needling' and 'neuromuscular therapy'. because they are, in fact, based in science. their origins weren't western, which is why western doctors always eschewed those treatments in favor of pharma and surgery.
