    Okay re: Chiropractors, is that 100% verified or is there still debate? I thought this was common knowledge but then every doofus in my office started seeing chiropractors and it made me doubt myself a little.

      There's probably lots of debate regarding it, but I can certainly tell you what my colleague's doctor told him; my colleague has a slipped disc that if it gets worse, could potentially paralyze him from the neck down. He asked his doctor if he should see a chiropractor and the doctor told him there's a 33% chance it'll do nothing, a 33% chance his condition will improve, and a 33% chance it'll get worse.

      Chiropractors however are not medical doctors, and as far as I'm concerned that's where it stops. They can get a degree after studying aspects of the body like musculature and ligaments, but I wouldn't risk my health going to one.

      100% bullshit outside maybe, maybe helping with muscular pain.

      That said, many Chiropractors are actually competent mainstream physical therapists in technique who realised they could save hundreds of thousands of dollars by becoming chiropractors instead. Good luck finding which ones those are.
