>>11149711The ones I see in the US have PhDs and put bones back to where they are supposed to be. They deal with sports injuries, some car accident injuries, and moron injuries. Many have secondary stuff like an on staff Massage Therapists, X-ray machines, and typical physical therapy crap.
>Subluxation theory is obviously horse shitHow? If you get injured all manner of fucked up shit can happen. Dislocating shit with your spine which will fuck up all manner of shit with the parts it controls. Also, it works in reverse. Got kidney stones or bad constipation/bloating? Those can cause all manner of back pain to the point where one side of your back's muscles tighten up in to knots you can feel with your hands. Which can wrench your back out if things get really bad. The main problem is which comes first? Got back pain because you tore a muscle lifting, kinked your neck sleeping wrongly, because you ate too much pizza without drinking enough fluids & are merely constipated, or all three? You may not know, your chiropractor won't know for sure, but may have a bit of a clue. Just getting pressed around on the table can actually help solve all those issues listed.
>should this whole field return to the 19th century?All medical fields are shit, anon. Every damn one of them. Biology is too complex for current medical or psychological fields to properly study or treat right now. All I know is that when I did stupid things and couldn't turn my head left, the chiropractor did something that allowed me to regain movement instantly. I've only gone in 4 times in my life, because I did stupid things, and it was instant relief every time.
I can't speak for other places around the world. I've read some of them don't have proper training of any kind. There only 1 I'd never go to. That's a female who has a chiropractic office, in her house, which doubles as an acupuncture center, a fortune teller, masseuse, and a yoga instructor. Yeah, all that shit is actually on the sign. lol
