If a profession is based on ideas that have zero evidence, if they happen to actually do some good it's more by accident than design.

If you are saying this to try and undermine the arguments against this stuff then it isn't a valid argument, try again.

Why do you throw dieticians in there? Changing what you eat will have a definite impact on you.

But for the rest, yes it might be a waste of money (depending on specifics, again for example a chiro that focuses on the lower back is fine, one that does neck manipulation to fix asthma isn't). You think just because someone happens to be an athlete or a sports team they're all of a sudden different and never get drawn in by things like that?

This isn't a valid response against the arguments against this stuff either.
