I had an Uncle who was an Osteopath and later became a Radiologist. My Mom had a cousin (my 2nd cousin?) who was a Chiropracticor. MD's are essential and I have no problem with them as long as they take a conservative approach to prescribing drugs and allowing the body to heal itself versus aggressive treatment/surgery. (Think Dr. Datlas)
The Chiropractic approach down here taught at Life University is much different than the twisting and jerking manipulation I had experienced up North. They use a more passive approach by locating out of alignment joints and using a spring loaded device to put it in place. Not very forceful and seems to work. I'm pretty sure I'd never go back to the twist and yank approach.
That's all I am going to say about that to be respectful to all opinions.
