I spent 43 years in private practice as a “science-based” chiropractor and a critic of the chiropractic vertebral subluxation theory. I am often asked how I justified practicing as a chiropractor while renouncing the basic tenets of chiropractic. My answer has always been: I was able to offer manipulation in combination with physical therapy modalities as a treatment for mechanical-type back pain—a service that was not readily available in physiotherapy or in any other sub-specialty of medicine.
If I had it to do over again, however, I would study physical therapy rather than chiropractic. Considering the controversy that continues to surround the practice of chiropractic, I would not recommend that anyone spend the time, effort, and money required to earn a degree in chiropractic. Physical therapy, which is now beginning to include spinal manipulation in its treatment armamentarium, may offer better opportunity for those interested in manual therapy. Properly-limited, science-based chiropractors are now essentially competing with physical therapists who use manual therapy. Unfortunately, only a few chiropractors have renounced the vertebral subluxation theory, making it difficult to find a “good chiropractor.”

Physical Terrorists. LMAO.
From the diary of a Physical Terrorist,
"Come back 15 times and let me watch you lift that weight. 1, 2, 3, 4, ......... . Good. Now I'll put some ice on it. Oh wait. Forgot the ultrasound. Easy to do since it's under that mountain of scientific paperwork. Now let's put on the IFC. Man this is hard work. Did you know that the Russian Olympic team in the 60's used IFC to grow muscle? Ha hah haha. You look bigger already. Now finally the ice. Whew. I'm going to be so worn out, I don't know how I'm ever going to pass the course on spinal manipualtion that chiropractor down the street is teaching.
Those guys are busy though.
Haha hahaha hahaa. Probably doesn't work. They are just really good scammers or their patients are dumb.
Funny though, my patients seemed smart enough. Wonder why they went over to see him?"
