This is good to read about, and nice that it has and research referenced.<p>It's interesting to know that it's gas collapsing. And nothing to do with the bone rubbing.<p>And it makes you wonder what chiropractors are actually doing when they're popping your back... It's probably not doing anything to help you with your pain. And it's probably not actually adjusting anything.
I recommend reading up on the actual history of chiropractic ... I've seen articles that seem to make it clear that it was long con right from the start.<p>I acknowledge that this is not the only view on the history.
Its a con that is trying very hard to become legitimate.<p>Chiros started as a scam, continued as a scam, and are now a widely accepted scam. The legit work they do is often just physical therapy.<p>Just go to a physical therapist.
“You have a fever because of the ghosts in your bones”
Chiropratic can help with pain, but not for the claimed reasons. Studies show it's as efficacious as massage therapy. I believe the same is true of cupping. Insurers increasingly cover these sorts of therapies, and primary's increasingly prescribe them, because they're cheaper than a real doctor's time, especially a specialist's, <i>and</i> the patient is more likely to feel better than if they were subjected to a long diagnostic gauntlet with an inconclusive end.
If a chiropractor could adjust something by pushing on your bone, imagine what tripping and falling would do.
It's surprising that it's not common knowledge that "Chiropractic" is not medicine, nor a science, and the field is associated with vaccine misinformation and unproven supplements.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractic" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractic</a>
