Chiropractic vs. Science Based Medicine 2/2

Posted by on Mar 8th, 2010 | no comments home title

The truth about chiropractic, as I see it. Chiropractic is based on a pseudoscientific belief in vitalism, but within the field, there are many diverse groups, ranging from completely ineffective modalities to a competent integrative medicine approach. There is some evidence that chiropractic can give some subjective relief to back pain sufferers, but the effect is pretty modest, and comparable to exercise, massage and heat therapy. Science Based Medicine blog has a nice post by a DC that I think is reasonable and fair: www.sciencebasedmedicine.org I highly recommend Chirobase, the skeptic's guide to chiropractic. An excellent and deep site. www.chirobase.org An article on the risks of chiropractic. www.quackwatch.org "What's the Harm?" article on chiropractic: whatstheharm.net Skeptic's Dictionary entry on chiropractic: skepdic.com
