The history of Chiropractic shows it to be snake oil, with a litany of serious injuries along the way.

It was started by a charlatan who was passed the knowledge “in a seance”, was formerly into “magnetic healing”, opposed all mainstream medicine including vaccination, and who was jailed for practicing medicine without a licence.

The American Medical Association describes chiropractic as an “unscientific cult”

Chiropractors are not medically recognised, and if you have a friend who’s been taken in by this quack science, you really owe it to them to explain the facts.
