Chiropractic is indeed "legit" and has been an effective form of health care for over 100 years. Chiropractic now represents the third largest used form of health care in North America, after medicine and dentistry (1). Before a student can attend chiropractic college they must complete a 4 year university undergraduate degree. Then, during an additional 4 years of chiropractic college, Chiropractors receive extensive training in the nervous system, muscular system and skeletal system. In addition, chiropractic students are taught how to properly identify and diagnose all other conditions that may present like simple muscle of joint pain. This way a chiropractor knows when they can help, and when they need to refer someone to a different specialist in the medical field.
Opposite Answer:
While some chiropractors can ease pain, in the same way as a massage therapist, the basic tenets of the "art" have never been proven in any scientific manner. A major danger of chiropractic is that most chiropractors are not trained in proper diagnosis and may delay referring you to a real doctor, even for life-threatening conditions. Secondly chiropractors have a pseudoscientific belief system and often recommend dangerous, expensive, or bizarre treatments that are completely worthless.
A comprehensive critique of chiropractic's lack of scientific validity was published by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Province of Quebec in 1963.
