        My chiro has all his training in physiotherapy. So is he a quack or is he a pro? I’m so confused!

        I think you’ve just reconciled two things:

        1. Internet always says chiropractors are quacks

        2. Multiple reasonable people IRL have praised their own chiropractors

          Someone can praise their chiropractor, in the end that’s anecdotal and then I could point to all the people that have become paralyzed due to chiros.

          All of them are quacks because most of what they do to people is bullshit and potentially harmful, it just happens that they sometimes also do some things that are actually ok but it’s methods employed by an actual medical field.

      Depends on what you mean by that. PTs can use chiropractic techniques to great effect.

      But there is a MASSIVE difference between an actual PT that sometimes uses specific chiropractic techniques and the con artists who try to shake your down for weekly neck cracks.
