Did you maybe go to a physiotherapist? That doesn’t sound at all like a chiropractor, especially the MRI and actual treatment part.

I think this depends on the kind of chiropractic work. If they are just there to pop bubbles for that crack, then nothing is happening. I got into a car accident and my insurance sent me to a chiropractor that never cracked my back. Instead he gave me physical therapy, got me MRI images to check for an cracks on my spine or hernias in my discs, and gave me some equipment to help relax my back muscles and provide support to my bacl. I feel like this kind of work actually does provide benefit. I don’t go anymore since all of that stuff is cleared up now, but I would trust that guy with my back again if I needed it.

Some chiropracters are more or less “bootleg” physical therapists that use the same treatment. Of course, there is no guarantee that a given chiropractor will use effective and proven treatments like a licensed PT practitioner.

I’ve seen a couple ‘chiropractors’ that are just giving good physio work and advice but taking chiro insurance money. Scammy maybe, but if they’ll put me back together I’ll take it.

If anything, I’d color that a “good” flavour of scam 😅

That’s just a physiologist right?

A good chiropractor is one that doesn’t use chiropractic “treatment”

Honestly the best you can get is good deep tissue, which is why many chiros employ a massage therapist.

Yeah, If the chiropractor doesn’t use chiropractic methods, it’s definitely preferable.
