Chiropractics castigators argue that the very tenet and surmise of the profession is founded in pseudoscience and, if i may, scam. However to truly answer the essence of the question posed before individuals with a so-called academical education began their ridiculous rhetoric was this: Why the animosity towards Chiropractic?
To answer this question in its most fundamental of degrees, i would like to pose my own question? Why dose the American Osteopathic Association promote osteopathic manipulative therapy for conditions such as asthma, carpal tunnel, and menstrual pain? Are Chiropractors not academically condemned and scrutinized for even considering to such interventions especially otitis media? (An argument into the difference between the two manipulative techniques is not necessary, those who are both DC and DO are aware to the reasons why) Maybe there is more to the picture than dogmatic debates will give insight into. Maybe if individuals had used their time to research literature as opposed to opinion they may have found solid research out there, or maybe Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine have aligned themselves much better with allopathic doctors and well, infer what one will to this comment. It certainly deserves inquire though, Why all the animosity towards chiropractic and not osteopathy? perhaps if half of your interventions are medication then the other half can be forgot.
American compared Canadian and Australian chiropractic education has large differences so perhaps everyone need to research this point before writing generalized and academically offensive postings.
Basically, I simply don't see the level of debate with OMT who profess to treat the conditions listed in the link below as I do with chiropractic. Why is that?
Thanks!
