I unfriended somebody who went to chiropractic school. He was always sharing MLM and vitamin stuff. There is a large antivaxer contingent in the chiropractor community.

One day he posted a picture of an obstetrician delivering a baby during a C-section. The proper way you deliver a baby during a C-section is to lift the head and then using two hands placed on either side of the head to give traction delivering the anterior shoulder then up delivering the posterior shoulder. Outsidede of these two hands on the head they're only a couple of spots on the baby that are safe to go and put any traction on because babies are fragile and can be injured if you just go pulling on them, especially on soft tissue areas.

So most of the time babies are delivered by grabbing both sides of the head angle traction angle traction and out...


Anyway so he post a meme showing a very routine and normal way to deliver a baby and basically was implying that all of this baby's lifelong problems will be attributed to that initial traction at delivery... The only safe way to deliver a baby. No alternative was posited of course, simply that baby definitely needed some chiropractic manipulation.
Well thank goodness my son was a natural delivery, at least he’ll never need to waste money on a chiropractor ?

if c-sections have these traction risks (if done improperly) you described, how does that compare to normal trauma during a natural birth? I mean, I watched and seemed like it was squeezing the shit out of him haha. Couldn’t a chiro make thecase that also causes “trauma” requiring treatment?


and for the record of this thread, I just had a hard time watching those videos of the old ladies getting cracked. Jesus...

"Chiropractic is a pseudoscientific alternative medicine that is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine."

"Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain."

"There is not sufficient data to establish the safety of chiropractic manipulations. It is frequently associated with mild to moderate adverse effects, with serious or fatal complications in rare cases. There is controversy regarding the degree of risk of vertebral artery dissection, which can lead to stroke and death, from cervical manipulation. Several deaths have been associated with this technique and it has been suggested that the relationship is causative, a claim which is disputed by many chiropractors."

"D. D. Palmer founded chiropractic in the 1890s, after saying he received it from "the other world"; Palmer maintained that the tenets of chiropractic were passed along to him by a doctor who had died 50 years previously. His son B. J. Palmer helped to expand chiropractic in the early 20th century. Throughout its history, chiropractic has been controversial. Its foundation is at odds with evidence-based medicine, and has been sustained by pseudoscientific ideas such as vertebral subluxation and innate intelligence. Despite the overwhelming evidence that vaccination is an effective public health intervention, among chiropractors there are significant disagreements over the subject, which has led to negative impacts on both public vaccination and mainstream acceptance of chiropractic. The American Medical Association called chiropractic an "unscientific cult" in 1966."
