A member asked:
Is massage a normal part of a chiropractor's practice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is in fact all they have to offer. They provide a strenuous massage which can offer temporary relief but not a cure. They have an expansive notion of the causation of illness by spinal dysfunction that is in fact totally wrong. If you need a massage, a massage therapist can offer a relaxing and gentle treatment that is usually much more satisfying.
