Physiology

So, here’s the deal: plenty of people visit chiropractors regularly, but they do so as if the visits are to get rid of aches and pains. For some, chiropractic is like a mechanical painkiller.

I’m not going to write here that getting routine chiropractic adjustments won’t make you feel better than if you do not get adjusted. Still, there’s so much more to chiropractic care than the average American healthcare consumer realizes.

For decades, the medical profession has tried to marginalize the practice of chiropractic, painting a picture of the healing art as being limited to back pain relief and calling out any claimed systemic physiological benefits of the care as nothing more than pseudoscience being practiced by charlatans.

Isn’t it ironic that the ones mouthing off to the public about another profession’s practitioners as being charlatans and claiming exclusivity on science-based practices are, in fact, the charlatans and engaged in the biggest form of pseudoscience in existence?

Let me tell you folks, I don’t have a dog in the fight any longer. I’ve been retired from private chiropractic practice for five years and out of healthcare altogether. But I have to write that if people knew the truth about medical objectives and understood how counterproductive they are to basic human and animal physiology, they’d be absolutely shocked.

Personally, I don’t go near medical professionals unless it’s for emergency care services, and once stabilized, I’m out of there.

As always, my essays and articles on health-related subjects are for informational purposes only, and I’m not giving out medical advice to anyone.
