And yet the chiropractor is the one who can provide you with immediate relief. If you’ve ever had a fucked up back or neck and pinched nerves, then you really understand how helpful a chiropractor can be. Are they the solution for everything? Of course not. Do they greatly help people who are in pain? Absolutely. My doctor has never provided me with any actual treatment for my back, just drugs. The chiropractor actually treats the symptoms and the causes, and it’s usually immediate and long lasting relief.
lol “never provised me with any actualy treatment for my back, just drugs”
do you not realize that drugs… actually do things? are you really going to discount what a good anti-inflammatory agent can do for certain injuries? what pain-killers do for pain? treating inflammation and pain in itself is treating a “root cause” in a way, with recovery being expedited when inflammation is treated
not to mention drugs that are more powerful than a simple anti-inflammatory agent
I’m a very fit and athletic person. The doctor doesn’t need to tell me to exercise and stretch. Unfortunately staying fit doesn’t stop your back from suddenly blowing out when you have old injuries from motorcycle accidents. Sure, I can take the Vicodin and muscle relaxers that the doctor gives me and sit at home all drugged up for 5 days, waiting for my back to feel better, or I can go to the chiropractor and be good to go within a day. It’s weird how vehemently opposed to certain legitimate treatments the people on this website are. Chiropractors wouldn’t exist if they didn’t provide relief for some people. They’re not the answer for everything, but they do help quite a lot in certain situations.
Opiates are what my physician gave me, not my chiropractor. Medical doctors are an essential part of modern life, but I haven’t met one yet who can help with my back issues like a chiropractor can.

That immediate relief can then be compounded by never fixing the fucking problem.
My doctor sent me to physical therapy for a month and I haven’t had any issues for almost a year.

Just not in a measurable way.
The plural for anecdote is not “data.”
So does heroine.
