Are chiropractors physicians?

No, but I bet you don't change your patients oil either.

Yeah, I had a massage once and I have to go back every years to keep it
up
too.
Maybe I was being taken advantage of.

Come to think of it...my doctor wants me to come back every year for a
check
up...and there is nothing wrong with me at all.

Another poor attack from ignorance.


Annual health maintenance visits are a lot different from weekly
"adjustments" that purport to help the "adjusted" "maintain optimal
spinal health". Does the chiro check stool for occult blood? Does he
screen for high cholesterol? Does he do a Pap smear or a breast exam
(he better not, as a matter of fact)?

Howie you are hanging on to a drowning ship, and that is why you are
so frightened. My heart goes out to you buddy.Take some zoloft and
have good one!


Your attempts to validate chiropractic by projecting fear, envy, threat,
whatever..are pathetically transparent, sport. Clearly you are running out
of tools to defend a "profession" that is generally composed of charlatans
hawking bogus nostrums to the desperate and unwary.

By all means, keep flailing away in this thread, but it should be apparent
to you that no one is buying it, except maybe David, and he's,
well....David. His verbal tool box is even more empty than yours. He
doesn't
even try to argue, just resorts to name calling...a tactic I see you are

You really are hilarious, that was one entertaining post as usual.
Nothing personal but I think your reason has been developing in sour
cream for the last 20 years or so. Your sterotype of the Chiropractic
profession is what is lame. It may be true for a small portion of the
profession, but not for the majority.I am sorry you have such a
despicable point of view. I hate to tell you this Howie but the
Chiropractic profession is growing and gaining more and more
acceptance and support every day. That is why people like you feel the
need to attack. You obviously feel threatened. Chiropractors(Howie did
you get that spelling, I wouldn't feel right letting you continue to
make the same spelling errors in your posts.)are also not swayed by
outside interests like the medical profession.(ie- drug companies,
kickbacks etc.)

The majority feel no need to debate the validity of chiropractic,
because we've already decided that chiropractic is snake oil.

Yep, money is what it's all about. Chiropractic is really nothing more
than a scam to separate idiots from their money.

Actually, there was just an article about the annual exam in the New York
Times. There is not much evidence that they do any good for adults.

Unlike chiros, though, MDs are able to help patients when they do have
problems.

Yup, empty tool box. Can't you at least try to get some substance into your
posts, David? The difference between you and sean is that he at least can
string two coherent sentences together.

And having a little trouble with your news client there, too, I see David.
Try writing it down with a crayon before trying to get it into your
computer.
