[FRIAM] Chriopracter(sp) what takes insurances?

[gⅼеɳ ☣]

I know this subject is controversial.  But it would be remiss not to point out that chiropracty may be pseudo-medicine.  But worse yet, it can be dangerous:

My personal experience with it was from back when I was a kid.  I was briefly (~10 minutes, maybe?) paralyzed from the waist down after an attempt to throw a kick in Tae Kwon Do.  The actual doctor (MD) diagnosed me with sacral lumbarization.  The medical choices were surgery or figure out how to live with it.  My parents took me to a chiropractor, who spouted all sorts of believable woo to us, provided some short-term relief in the form of endorphins from back popping, and thereby got me addicted to popping my back and neck.  I've had neck problems ever since.

To be clear, the chiropractor caused my neck problems.  (A good side-effect, though, was that I learned evidence-based physical therapy and exercises that have helped me cope with my spine problems for the rest of my life. ... silver lining, ya' know.)

Anyway, be careful.  Acupuncture is also placebo medicine.  But at least it's safe, unlike chiropracty.
