Yeah I was flipping channels on the TV this morning and saw some guy advertising something and calling himself a "chiropractic physician". I thought that was pretty amazing.

Actually, I thought there was a LAW that only MDs, DOs and I think Podiatrists, could legally call themselves "physicians". That chiropractor on TV really chaps my a$$! His particular brand of quackery should be outlawed and he should be forced to face every patient he's ever scammed! One time, I got so steamed watching his "info"mercial that I actually tried to contact him. Needless to say, I never got past the secretary. She said I'd have to contact his attorney! Oh well...maybe someday I will.😡

Remember Chirporactic physicians focus on HEALTH and Spinal Hygeine.
Neglect your spine and you get a limp LIFE FORCE.
Of course chiropractic physicians are HEALERS.
This month (already) I've seen some pretty horrid spine cases and to switch this away from chiropractic bashing, which is quite right, but boring and makes me, for one, realize that these people are doing pretty well financially in (mostly) a fee for service setting.
Anyway, corny, I saw a teenager with a spinal stroke. It spared his sexual function, so why is his "life force" "limp"? Or is this just a term stupid people use in order to sound like they're deep and spititual. If this is, as I suspect, the case, I have some terms for you: your entire thought process is incorrect, and I hope you don't make anyone dissect this week with your neck manipulation (seen it twice).
I know its thread jumping, but if that personality disordered idiot, oldandtired reads this, let me say that the initial stat MRI was negative in the case above. I'm totally in agreement with him that, clinically, there isn't all that much for doctors intellectually. Many times the diagnosis hangs on radiology and sometimes it doesn't. Even in IM, PNA is a clinical diagnosis. Neurology can prove to be even more of an exception. Someone has to take the radiographic information (not to mention gotten the proper studies in the first place) and make sense of it in terms of the presenting problems and exam. Glad this kid wasn't in the hands of the radiologists, "well, we can't see anything - send him home." Oldandtired, go join Corny in the same category I reserve for GWB.

aah, yes the tired argument of the desperate MD.
want to trot out a few dissections in the country.
OK, then trot out the 250,000 people that dies as a result of QUACK MD's.
poison potions
toxic tonics
insane immunizations
killer chemo.
medical mistakes #1 cause of DEATH
I think as many people got dissections after spinal manipulation as died from anaphylaxis due to an immunization.
So by your logic, are you anti-immunization?
FACE FACTS : Chiropractic orthospinologists and chiropractic neurologists cure disease and all you can do is diagnose a disease and push a pill!
Must make you feel very inferior.
Advertisement - Members don't see this ad
The practice of Orthospinology consists of many procedures. First, the patient must exhibit evidence of nerve interference
two tests to determine if a patient has nerve interference. The (a) thermoscribe reading and (b) leg check. If the patient exhibits evidence of nerve interference, a minimum of three cervical x-rays are needed for upper cervical analysis
Chiropractic neurologists typically serve in the same consulting manner as medical neurologist. One major difference is that the therapies of a chiropractic neurologist do not include drugs and surgery. Chiropractic neurologists see patients with a variety of movement disorders, nerve entrapment syndromes (such as Carpal Tunnel), headaches and other pain syndromes, and general conditions that are consequences of peripheral or central nervous system disorders. Chiropractic neurologists are able to provide effective rehabilitation for many people who have undergone stroke or other brain trauma or have brain tumors, headaches, phobias, seizures , multiple sclerosis, or diabetic neuropathy
I am a chiropractic allergist focusing on asthma and hay fever and subspecializing in applied kinesiology, and realigning the LIFE FORCE for optimal HEALTH

Sir, and I use the word loosely, let's face up to some facts, as a chiropractic allergist, you do something EVERY DAY which no randomized controled trial has EVER shown to be the LEAST bit effective. I know you and your ilk don't really like facts, but they do exist. And the facts clearly state that these interventions do not help asthma. I've actually talked to some reasonable chiropractors who will be more than happy to say that people like you bring down their entire field. Because the medical establishment would like to throw the baby out (people who help patients with soft tissue injuries to their backs, which manipulation can actually help, not to mention that it feels good) with the bathwater (people like you, who insist on their beliefs which will never be falsified making my letter useless (but i'm not writing to change your mind)).
So, no, I'm not a desparate MD (I'm a desparate MD, PhD - no, I'm just kidding I'm not a mud phud) out to get you. I'd simply like you to show me some data. Show me some survival curves of peole with GBMs with and without the chiropractic neurologists. Same for MS, stroke, whatever. Please note, before waxing poetic on all the people you've cured, that anecdotes are not data. I have anecdotes that strokes have gotten better with the use of my reflex hammer, but perhaps that means I've killed some as well.
And while I'm not a desparate MD, some of the patients with vertebral dissections could fit that definition.
And as to your clanging at the end, first off, are you psycho? Also, do you favor getting rid of vaccinations? Perhaps you can rid the world of measles on a back by back basis?
And finally, could you please tell us what a limp life force is, and what the antidote is? My guess, if I may, is at the back of the video store.

Corn - holio:
Chiropractors are perhaps the most arrogant people in the health care field. It is pretty amazing considering that most Chiroquacktor students have never stepped foot inside the halls of a Genetics, Cell Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Immunology, etc. etc. etc. in their life except the ones who couldn't get into med school or didn't even want to try.
I have lifelong friends who have gone to chiro school and it is amazing how brainwashed they become. In the last 2 years I have heard that chiros can reverse breech birth, cure allergies, and even, yes, prevent phaeochromocytoma (he didn't use that term, but I deduced that is what he was talking about).
You will never ever ever be taken seriously until you get the damned chip off of your shoulder.
From what I can tell the field of chirpractic is largely about getting enough patients and making them come back enough times to run up a bill that is sufficient for the DC to be happy.
Until you learn your freaking role in this whole thing, sit down and get an education befoe you make stupid ass statements like you have.
"Chemo kills"-- That statement right there lets it be known how ignorant and uneducated you are on subjects which you speak about.
I bet you are right about the right age to get testicular cancer. If god forbid you get this condition, make sure you get an appt early with you chiroquacktor, because CHEMO ONLY HAS a 90 PERCENT CURE RATE.
And by the way, 75 percent of breech birth revert on their own and another 75 percent can be manually reversed.
Have a nice day and make sure you get at least 5 visits out of every patient.
LIFE college rules. Thank you for embarrasing my hometown.
