Recent discussions around chiropractic practices bring attention to the lack of credible evidence supporting spinal manipulation for treating conditions outside of musculoskeletal issues. The theory of vertebral subluxation, often cited by chiropractors, has been challenged by the scientific community, which emphasizes that such practices do not address non-musculoskeletal disorders effectively. This raises questions about the validity of chiropractic care in broader medical contexts. It’s essential to rely on treatments backed by solid evidence to ensure patient safety and well-being.
