$545 Million Per Year Wasn't Enough For Chiropractors. Now They're Lobbying For Much More

And to those chiropractors who've read this far: I'm sorry that you were hoodwinked into spending 3-4 years in a chiropractic school, paying nearly $200,000 in tuition and fees, with the promise that you'd be a legitimate medical professional. You were scammed, and I'm sorry about that. And I understand that most (perhaps all) chiropractors want to help their patients. The problem is, the training offered by chiropractic colleges is far short of a proper medical degree.

A comprehensive guide to the new science of treating lower back pain

Slowly, though, the tide is shifting. Medical societies and public health agencies are now advising doctors to try less invasive options and even alternative therapies such as acupuncture before considering opioids or surgery.

Chiropractic Care Grows, and Gains Acceptance

The A.M.A.’s Committee on Quackery is long defunct, having gone out of existence after a lawsuit by chiropractors led to a 1987 federal district judge’s ruling that the medical association had tried to destroy the chiropractic profession. Since then, the number of chiropractors has steadily grown. Today it seems as if everyone I know is seeing one — and not just for the standard hands-on treatment of lower-back pain, but for an expanding range of interventions falling under the rubric of “integrative wellness.”

Chiropractic Relief for Shoulder Pain

Although all chiropractic treatments focus on adjustments, there are three different types of chiropractic care, each with its own specific goal.

Chiropractic: Is it Nature, Medicine or Religion?

Many people assume that chiropractic has always been a non-religious health care option much like modern medicine but less interventionist...

For Bad Backs, It May Be Time to Rethink Biases About Chiropractors

Most back pain resolves over time, so interventions that focus on relief of symptoms and allow the body to heal are ideal. Many of these can be nonpharmacological in nature, like the work done by chiropractors or physical therapists.

For Neck Pain, Chiropractic and Exercise Are Better Than Drugs

Seeing a chiropractor or engaging in light exercise relieves neck pain more effectively than relying on pain medication, new research shows.

Inside Chiropractic: A Patient's Guide

Chiropractic, which celebrated its centennial in 1995, is a curious mixture of science and pseudoscience, sense and nonsense. Much of it is based on the theory that misaligned spinal bones produce nerve interference that causes disease. Many chiropractors claim that correcting these misalignments ("subluxations") can restore health and that regular spinal adjustments are essential to maintain it. Neither logic nor scientific evidence supports such a belief. Although spinal manipulation can relieve certain types of back pain, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal symptoms, there is no scientific evidence that it can restore or maintain health.

Inside Chiropractic: A Patient's Guide

While chiropractic can provide quality treatment for certain types of back and neck pains and related problems, many health-industry professionals and patients are under the impression that the practice can be used as a method for restoring and maintaining overall health.Inside

New Medicare Data Reveal Startling $496 Million Wasted On Chiropractors

Over a century ago, D.D. Palmer believed, mistakenly, that he cured a man’s deafness by manipulating his neck. His son built Palmer’s beliefs into a profitable business, but neither of them would have dreamed that the U.S. government would one day spend half a billion dollars per year on chiropractic manipulations. If we want to start controlling the cost of Medicare, here’s an easy first step: stop covering chiropractic. We will save $496 million a year, and people’s health will improve.

Not Telling Your Doctor You Use Acupuncture and Chiropractic

People with chronic back, neck or joint pain commonly seek acupuncture and chiropractic care for relief, but many don’t tell their doctors about it, a new study reports.

Protecting the Body Temple: Pain is Not a Lifestyle Choice

Chiropractic work is just one example to illustrate that we can decide to live without pain. Pain, whether physical or emotional, is not a lifestyle choice and we can decide to live without it, respect our bodies and get more enjoyment out of our lives.

Science and Chiropractic

Chiropractic is not a science, but that doesn’t mean that nothing they do is based on science. There is evidence that spinal manipulation therapy is effective for some kinds of low back pain. It is no more effective than other treatments for low back pain, but is a viable option for patients who prefer it. It is not exclusive to chiropractors, but is also used by physical therapists, physiatrists and doctors of osteopathy. In essence, the one “claim to fame” that chiropractors have is not really anything uniquely chiropractic but is a manual therapy shared with other disciplines.

Sept. 18, 1895: Is There a Chiropractor in the House?

1895: The first chiropractic adjustment is performed, and a new field of medicine is born, along with a healthy number of skeptics. It was the age of the talented dilettante, and the world’s first chiropractor certainly qualified on that score. Daniel David Palmer, variously a beekeeper, school teacher and grocery store owner, dabbled in magnetic healing and mysticism on the side...
