People wonder why I call chiropractors quacks?

[Ocelot II]

2. If they would just limit themselves to giving backrubs I wouldn't have a problem with chiropractors,

but too often they are practitioners of useless and occasionally harmful treatments. Some claim they can even cure cancer with spinal "alignments." The underlying philosophy of chiropractic easily lends itself to anti-science beliefs contrary to legitimate medicine.

I know this thread will generate responses about how the poster's back pain was managed or cured by a chiropractor, and if that happened, fine. But if I want a back rub I'll go to a spa and get a massage, which will be cheaper anyhow; I don't want someone yanking my neck around and then trying to sell me supplements.
