Fact: only 5% of medical procedures have double blind peer reviewed placebo studies to test their validity...heart stints are the best example, no studies, but they help people every day. In response to the comment that Chiropractic is not demonstrated as effectinve, check out our peoples testimonials on our page at Healthquestchiro, your statement is proven wrong in our office several hundred times a day.

You are attempting to compare apples with oranges by comparing Chiropractic care to allopathic medicine. The problem with studies comparing chiro to medical intervention is that there is no way to determine whether better results are due to chiro care or to the fact that people avoided medical care. Our feeling, and clinical experience, shows that just avoiding medical care, especially for spinal issues, will improve costs and outcomes!

The "only 5% of medical procedures have double bilnd peer reviewd placebo studies to test their validity", not ony doesnt make any sense, but is a myth in itself, and is propogated by a very small "study" performed overseas in the early 1960's, which looked at prescription patterns. Please drag yourself into the 21st century. When a dental procedure "doesn't work", we can observe and measure (2 of the 3 components of science, the other being reproducibility) why, not just "make something up".

CHIROPRACTORS ARE NOT DOCTORS.

Chiropractic is clearly not quackery. It's totally proven by science, embraced by the mainstream public and covered all insurance carriers due to its effectiveness.

@lawlaw1 Define quack.

[ajtwain]

@healthquestchiro Alan Minor is a quack with a slick website selling expensive, ineffective and dangerous treatment. Google "chirotalk bad apple defense".

I'm a CHIRO for 15 years, & I would have to say 90% of our industry are quacks. Sorry, it's the truth

CHIROS (CREATE) MICROHYPERMOBILITY WHICH DESTABALIZES THE SPINE. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO 'DO THEIR THING'. THEIR ARE ZERO STANDARDS AND THEREFORE THEY CAN NEVER BE WRONG! INSANITY!

@chiropractic47 You better contact Mr Holder straight away then because the most obvious thing that is coming up when one googles him is Mr. Barrett's article. You say that Jay. M. Holder is a Doctor of Medicine? Can you tell me which medical school he studied in?

[chiropractic47]

@Smithpolly Stephen Barrett? LOL! Did you know this never licensed MD was prosecuted and found guilty of slander against Jay Holder, MD, DC? He was also found guilty of impersonating a licensed MD, and contempt of court? Why? The court found that he gave numerous expert medical testimonies whilst he was never a licensed MD. Go-on, Google it. LOL! Go to ICA and ACA websites for too many to list publications. Please spar with me intelligently. NEXT!

@chiropractic47

I found this article about Jay M. Holder on the internet.

Some Notes on the Activities and Credentials of Jay M. Holder, D.C. by Stephen Barrett, M.D.

I assume that you can point me to a reliable site that refutes the information given in this article.

And I'm sure you're aware why several patients swearing that a treatment works isn't considered sufficient and reliable evidence that it does.

@Smithpolly The U.S. govt. recently gave millions of research money to chiropractic for its success with depression and addiction. Jay Holder, MD, DC (winner of the Albert Schwietzer Prize in medicine) is the head research doctor. I have several patients that swear chiropractic helped them recover from depression. As a token of appreciation, they are one of my best source of referrals.

@chiropractic47 While I understand that back problems can make the best of us grumpy, I'm not sure that treating back problems can be classed as anger management therapy. What does the U.S. govt. via the Dept. of Heath and Human Services (DHHS) after reviewing multi govt./state, and international studies say about using chiropractic for anger management and mental issues?
