ickplantYou're cured!
mojofrododojovisited a friend’s family reunion and met his chiropractor uncle. dude said he could cure diabetes and cancer.
he could barely pronounce diabetes. I will never ever understand chiropractor quackshit.
Pup Birudon’t write it off completely… yes there’s a bunch of bullshit, but it’s also not entirely quack shit
australia’s healthcare system covers chiropractic in limited circumstances, and our system is generally very good at evidence-based health
with a GP referral and chronic condition management plan (written by your GP: this is an offical well defined thing) you get up to 5 visits to “allied health” professionals (which includes chiro, physio, dieticians, etc)
Does Medicare Cover Chiropractic Care?
Wondering whether Medicare covers chiropractic care in Townsville? With a GPCCMP referral, Ansell Chiropractic Centre in Mundingburra provides fully bulk billed chiropractic visits with no out-of-pocket costs. Learn who qualifies, how to get a referral, and how Medicare rebates work under the new 2025 GPCCMP changes.
chrisIn germany some health insurances pay for homeopathy. It’s still bullshit. Same for chiropractors.
yeah there’s another load of shit I’ve never been able to fathom. one drop of this, diluted a zillion times, will uh, fix ya right up…
OtterIts a pretty narrow scope

To me this reads like coverage for massage or other forms of non-curative pain relief, intended for those with chronic conditions that have exhausted all other options, or can’t get an appointment with a physiotherapist. I really don’t think it would be prescribed to treat the chronic condition.
I mean this is where all great medical advancements come from, right?
Comrade_SpoodTo help you out, chiropractors and their practice are full quackery and pseudo-science. HOWEVER, osteopathic medicine practiced by a DO is real medicine. Osteopathic medicine and osteopathy are two related but different things. The difference being that osteopathic medicine originates from osteopathy but they ditched all the pseudo-science and actually backed it up with science.
TLDR: If you want to get your back cracked scienctifically, find a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (aka a DO).
The fact that insurance does or doesn’t cover something is not evidence of medical efficaciousness.
