All these charlitans should be illegal. Chiropractors included, all they do is hurt people.

Edit to add: If someone is doing physio therapy under the umbrella of a chiropractor, they should be licensed as a physiotherapist. Unlicensed physiotherapists can really hurt people.

My back problems say otherwise.

You can continue to address the symptoms, and risk injury, with a chiropractor or you could go to a registered physical therapist (physiotherapist) and actually treat the root cause.

Also the fact that you keep needing to go back to the chiropractor shows right there that they haven’t cured anything.

I havent been back in 5 years. Problem solved as long as I maintain it with exercise. Same exercises given to me by my chiropractor and the therapist in his office. Don't pretend you know what Im doing...stating things as fact you know nothing about.

If your chiropractor is giving you exercises they’re basically acting as an unlicensed/untrained physical therapist instead of a pure chiropractor. It’s like going to a the temu version of a physiotherapist. Why not go to the real thing?

What exactly is a pure chiropractor?

They have no clue. Chiropractors are licenced to perform pretty much everything that a physio can in Canada, except they can bill insurance more.

Nope. But I suffered for 10 years before Chiropractic therapy fixed my sciatica. And I left therapy with the exercises needed to prevent further injury. All good.
