In addition to several other reputable resources I’ve found, this website, in my opinion, accurately debunks the many myths and fallacies Chiropractors want their patients to believe. Notice when reading, that along with proper citations, all of the sources used by the author come from legitimate, and respected publications. During my research rounds, I often see Chiros defending themselves using anecdotal evidence, and laughably, profanity and name calling. I might respect the profession more if it could produce any sort of study which, when held to modern scientific standards and scrutinies, could show any evidence of their treatments working. But so far, this has yet to occur. Sadly, because of this, many patients have been fooled by a slick talking “doctor” into getting themselves (Or worse, their children) an unnecessary treatment that can actually make them worse.
