Early in my career I had a chiropractic stroke case. Spent a load on expert witnesses. Big damages. Messing with the neck and spine is dangerous stuff, especially with the level of training and skill some of these practitioners seem to be proud of. It just takes a moment

Integrative medicine is a rebranding of complementary and alternative medicine. It involves adding things that don't work (alternative therapies) to those that do (conventional medicine). It's a step backwards not forwards

There is no such thing as a #chiropractic subluxation but many chiropractors continue to believe in this nonsense. Chiropractors should have no role in pregnancy, pediatrics or fetal health

It doesn't matter how long you spend studying alternative therapies, there's a new one you've not heard of. This was my first time hearing about "Singing bowl therapy" and yes it's as ridiculous as it sounds!

This week is "Spinal Health Week", organised by the Australian Chiropractors Association: chiro.org.au/campaigns/spin… They have chosen "tech neck" as the theme, which is not a real thing. It's something that a chiro made up to try and justify their treatments: mcgill.ca/oss/article/te…

Today is National Reflexology Day in Canada. The ideas behind #reflexology are nonsense and it is not effective for any health condition. Here is an accurate foot reflexology map:

Seatbelts don’t prevent car crashes but they do help protect you if you crash. For some reason, everyone understands this type of conditional protection perfectly well, until we’re talking about a vaccine that prevents severe disease.

Please remember that "Dr" Eric Berg isn't a doctor at all, he's a chiropractor. His advice is nonsense and his main aim is to sell his supplements

What you see being used in this video is a #chiropractic activator. It's a ridiculous idea that has no benefits whatsoever. As to chiropractic treatment of babies (using any technique) that's a ridiculous idea with no benefits either
