What is Chiropractor?
1.
A healthcare practitioner who receieved a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree from a 4-year acreditted chiropractic college. DC's perform vertebral and extremity adjustments for the correction of vertebral misalignments (aka subluxations). Adjustments correct nerve interference and/or impingment to bring about better flow of the nervous system to all parts of the body (organs, muscles, etc). Chiropractic is in limited ways associated with, but not to be mistaken by massage therapy, physical therapy, osteopathy, and medicine. It's the fastest growing healthcare profession to date, and will remain on the fore-front of family healthcare & disease prevention for years to come.
Chiropractors are the future of primary healthcare. Don't dis it, until you try it.

A quack. Psuedo-science mixed with con-artistry and more attention to patient relationships creates a winning$$$ combination. The buzz work of chiropractic "Subluxations" have never been shown on an x-ray.
I saw my chiropractor every week. It was costing me a ton, and then I read quackwatch and realized I'd been taken in by a fraud with no scientific basis

A person that cannont get into actual medical school that still thinks they are a doctor. This practice is a joke and is routinely mocked at quackwatch
The chiropractor said I needed maintenence on my subluxations on his free neck x-ray. Ironically the neck x-ray I had at the hospital was completely normal.
I got unsolicted mailings and phone calls from chiropractors offices after I was involved in an accident.
The chiropractor sold me herbal supplements
