What do you think of chiropractic?
Didn't help me and their spot diagnosis was also about as wrong as could be...I'm sure some are very good at what they do, but that was not my experience.
I have been helped a great deal by chiropractic treatment. A little over 25 years ago I suffered a back injury in an accident. I was having some discomfort in my back and the MD said I could get an operation if it bothered me too much. I went to a chiropractor and he showed me the x ray. He showed me the spot were a vertebra was out of alignment. I got several treatments over the course of about 3 weeks and the pain was gone. I have occasionally gone back for a treatment when my back or neck was feeling a little tight or painful and the chiropractic treatment helped a lot.What do you think of chiropractic?
I did forget to mention one point in my last response.What do you think of chiropractic?
People often times begin research with a faulty starting point or theory and still end up doing good work. For example, many scientists have accepted the deeply flawed and untrue theory of evolution but they still do some good work."Chiropractic was invented by D. D. Palmer, Sep 18, 1895 when he adjusted the spine of a deaf man and allegedly restored his hearing (a claim that is highly implausible based on what we know of anatomy). Based on this one case, Palmer decided that all disease was due to subluxation: 95% to subluxations of the spine and 5% to subluxations of other bones."

What evidences do the opposite views have?
It's the same evidence for both sides. What differs are the presuppositions and the biases (which both sides have).
