Let the hate flow forth. I used to be neighbors with a chiropractor, listening to him ramble on about how we wouldn't be seeing these increases in cancer rates if only people got adjusted more is one of the few times I've been angry enough to launch into a full screaming rant in someones face.

Well everything he's told me is pretty sane, the price is fair, his wife does massage therapy on the side that is cheaper than most places I've been, and my company trusts him enough to have him come on site, so I'd love to hear the stories but I'm still going to go see this guy for my back trouble. :)

How about that DO's, physical therapist, and even massage therapist do the same work and are using a scientific cause and effect to see what works and doesn't on there processes. Or that the Chiropractors long thought that vaccine's were not working, since the disease process stems from an out-of-kilter spine.
Plus I've had to deal with one to many parents and patients who claim the chiropractor saved their lives, but want my drugs still.
The most foul tasting gunk imaginable meant to empty your bowls prior to a surgery.
I only managed to down half the bottle. Attempts at the rest were forcibly rejected by my body convulsing and gagging. That was two years ago. I've gagged twice from thinking about it while writing this up.
Ah no, none of that thankfully! My surgery did end up being delayed by about 6 hours though so the supposed 10 hours fasting turned into 16 hours - including liquids ffs! They let me have the occasional tiny sip of water while I was waiting in a 26oC hospital room but man was I dehydrated to fuck.
And Jimbo managed to say most of what I would have said about chiropractors already. Chiropractice is alternative medicine. I.e. it's not based upon scientific evidence. If it works for you then fine, but it's likely placebo effect, regression to the mean (i.e. things tend to get better by themselves anyway) or happenstance that they did something useful. Given that it's not evidence based and scientifically rigorous it's also potentially risky because there's nothing to stop it's practitioners doing harmful things.
