Daily mail chiropractor

The Daily Mail and chiropractors! It's no secret that the Daily Mail has been critical of chiropractic care in the past, publishing several articles that have raised concerns about the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic treatments.

Here are a few examples:

  1. "Chiropractors 'putting patients at risk' with neck manipulation" (2018) - This article reported on a study that found that chiropractors were using a technique called cervical spine manipulation (CSM) on patients, which could potentially cause serious harm, including stroke and death.
  2. "Chiropractors 'misleading' patients about benefits of treatment" (2017) - This article claimed that chiropractors were making false claims about the benefits of their treatments, including claims that they could cure conditions such as asthma and diabetes.
  3. "Chiropractors 'using unproven techniques' on patients" (2016) - This article reported on a study that found that many chiropractors were using techniques that had not been proven to be effective, such as "activator" devices and "drop table" therapy.

It's worth noting that the Daily Mail's coverage of chiropractic care has been criticized by some in the chiropractic community, who argue that the articles are sensationalized and do not provide a balanced view of the profession.

However, it's also important to acknowledge that there are legitimate concerns about the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care, particularly when it comes to the use of high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation, which can cause serious harm if not performed properly.

As with any healthcare profession, it's essential to approach chiropractic care with a critical and informed perspective, and to seek out qualified and reputable practitioners who prioritize patient safety and evidence-based practice.
