It's absurd that people still think chiropractic is legitimate.
i know a girl who takes her literal newborns to her chiropractor
completely fucking horrifying and it's impossible to convince her that doing so is like playing catch with your baby as the ball
i am pretty sure kids die every year because of that shit
I get it to some extent cause it feels good when I crack my back
That's just simple streaching of the muscles. Chiropractic treatments put pressure on the spine to change the alignment of it.
"yeah but I mean, if it feels good when I crack my own back , what if a guy who went to school for that did it, I bet it'd feel great!"
-poor dupe who thinks they're a real thing
I don't know what they did to me but I actually got lot of relief from them when I hurt my back deadlifting.
