visited 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.

don’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)

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.
