It's disgusting that chiropractic is given so much credibility in the US; it's quack medicine.

Yeah it's shambolic.

We have similar problems in Australia, where chiropractors can earn PhDs and then understandably some call themselves 'doctor', but they are legally disallowed from calling themselves medical doctors. Many still try their best to blur the narrative.

Thankfully, most of the public knows that physiotherapists are far more qualified and have no quackery in thier study - it's just another medical field similar to nursing, so they are becoming more popular (at least in my circles).
