#2 Going all the way back to H.L. Mencken, chiropractors have been known as charlatans. The insurance companies gave out a massive groan when the feds allowed them to take Medicare dollars, which is just a money tree to them, and their rates nationwide quintupled overnight.

On the plus side, they do represent Darwin in action, the culling of the stupid as surely as the religious who try and pray away communicable disease.

#3 Lots of folks I know swear by them. I went to one once. He had his trainee come in and check me out. The trainee was searching like the dickens to figure out what the problem was, but said he was stumped. "We don't see many perfect backs," the senior said. My problem was muscle strain and he recommended taking it easy for a week. Wouldn't accept payment. Said it was worth it for his trainee to see a good back. They're not all charlatans.
