Cracking the back feels good because of the chemicals that are released. That is it. There is NO connection to the immune system. No. Nope. No no no no nope. Immune System. Back bones. Different systems. Once again: cracking bones in the back and making a nice popping sound doesn't , can't, won't have any effect on your immune system any more than looking at a picture of back bones.

@mgallant01 yea it's sad. in my school everyone who hoped to go to med/pharmacy but is dumb and doesn't meet the GPA requirements is turning into chiro.

@irononheroes That's true! Chiropractors can make good car dealers. they are also known to be best at shysting

@chibi013,

I said calcitonin deficiency has been linked to bipolar disorder. I never said it caused bipolar disorder.

[chibi013]

@TheFlanker35 Look, I'm not going to be able to convince you otherwise, even if I disagree. All I want is for people to know is that chiropratics are for pain relief only. Nothing more. If you think it will help cure diseases in any direct way you are hoping for a miracle that will not come.

As far a bipolar disorder is concerned, it may be a possible TREATMENT. Assuming a deficiency of it will cause the disorder is a a basic misunderstanding of the correlation/causation relationship.

@mgallant01,

Once it works, and it apparently does, it's not nonsense. It's been tested under stricter criteria than most antibiotics and it's always been shown to be effective in some people and in helping to prevent some conditions.

@chibi013,

The body isn't a row of dominoes, but it is a very elaborate tapestry of dominoes. When one system is defective, the homeostatic mechanisms regulating the other systems can be affected. Skeletal remodeling is dependent on hormones such as calcitonin. When the vertebrae of the skeletal system are mal-aligned, calcitonin deficiency can result and this has been linked to bipolar disorder.

Definite prophylactic benefit of spinal manipulation has been observed.

Amazing people buy into this nonsense..

@chibi013,

I don't know if it helps or not, but when a causal mechanism provides a basis for something that a study supports, the study needs to be debunked and shown to be non-reproducible to dismiss it.

"There have been studies, but all have been conducted poorly or contradict earlier results."

Lots of studies are conducted poorly because its expensive to conduct thorough studies that are double-blinded with data checks. Even FDA preliminary trials aren't always double blind.

[chibi013]

@MegaAstrodude Dear lord... if you believe it can help, than more power to you. For those of you out there who need empirical evidence, I'll save you some time and tell you right now it does not exist. There have been studies, but all have been conducted poorly or contradict earlier results. It improves your health about as much as a massage: it helps your emotional health, not physical.

@chibi013,

"Frankly, it doesn't matter what they claim, it does not affect the immune system. "

Evidence? Everything that's related to pain is related to the nervous system. The nervous system does influence the immune system. Granted, most of the studies done that show chiropractic benefiting the immune system were published by chiropractors, but at least some of them were partially conducted by MDs et al.

For years, AMA denied that it even helped back pain.
