This sounds like the best porn fantasy name ever.

@acehimself Lol judging by your profile youre a negative person in general. If you dont like chiropratic care then quit whining and do something useful with your time. If you want to talk about bullshit, why dont you take a quick look at your own life. Go to school work a job until youre 65 then work some more, then die XD. Talk about some bull shit right? Youre not a multi-millionaire so don't try to go there.

@FinancialProdigy202 of course not, believing in bullshit is fun and lets you go through life without having to actually think about things or challenge your present worldview. Sounds really satisfying to me to let someone rob my money by administering treatments developed by peasents thousands of years ago, when the average life span would have been late 20's early 30's. Go for it if it makes you feel good, placebo effect is very real.

@acehimself XD im not going to even start

@FinancialProdigy202 Electrical impulses flow through nerves, accupunture needles are just inserted a small ways into the skin, certainly they are not inserted into major nerves of any sort. The only reason pseudosciences like accupuncture, chiropractic, haven't been totally debunked is because it's impossible to do a double blind test for such things. It's clearly the placebo effect, just get a massage, it does the same but doesn't make outrageous unsupported claims for itself.

The bodies "electircity" can be measured by microneuropgraphy, electromyography as well as nerve conduction studies. There is no correlation to the location of pain and the treatment site in accupuncture as far as objective measurement is concerned. The theory has no scientific basis. However it can be an effective treatment in some patients, even when other treatments fail. Keep in mind that there can be as much as a 50% placebo effect when treating pain, especially with procedures.

I know XD!! I love to get people flustered. Seriously though,I've really nothing aganst it...unless the person getting it is obviously in need of actual medical care.Acupuncture is probably good for increasing bloodflow,might help erectile dysfunciton?...ouch. Anyway, I just believe it's a form of distraction and denial.Thus allowing the real problem to continue or worsen.And I don't believe that putting a needle in the skin of your foot or head will fix a problem with the vertebrea.
