Chiropractors are often referred to as “junk medicine” by redditors who like complaining about things.

Some chiropractors exaggerate what they do, and complainers latch on to that to trash the whole practice.

Chiropractors are perfectly fine if you understand what you’re getting into – temporary relief of aches and pains.
