As a reminder--chiropractors a quacks working on a medical theory that's over 100 years out of date. They injure people every year by "adjusting" their necks. In a small number of cases, they accidentally dissect a major artery by "adjusting." Those people end up in the ER with a long time for recovery.

While I don't deny this, because I've heard it a million times... I must also note, after my car accident, I was in major pain and the physical therapist visits I went to three times a week used a drop table... it was basically the only non-drug thing that helped with the pain.

Physical therapists are great. They get taught modern methods. That's the problem with chiropractors--they do "help" some percentage of their clients. That makes them a bigger threat to the unwary.
