I’m a foreigner living in the US (moved here from Israel). Before coming here I have never seen a chiropractor’s office, known a chiropractor or heard people talk of seeing their chiropractor. Moved to a medium size town in the US and seems like they are everywhere, lots of people mention visiting them and feeling so great after their visits. This greatly surprised me, as back home chiro is generally considered pseudoscience and most people would rather visit an MD for their health issues. I assume this is another one of those things that are unique to the US, but if my premise is wrong please let me know.
Edit: Because I see a lot of deleted comments claiming it is or isn’t pseudoscience, I wanted to clarify that in this context I care less about whether it is pseudoscience or isn’t and more about how the perception of chiropractic as pseudoscience or not may have affected its status in the US and the rest of the world. You all are entitled to your own opinions about it. Carry on.
Hey folks.
The question that OP is asking is why chiropractors are more common in the US than in their home country. A comprehensive answer would cover the history of the treatment and its use in therapies.
They are not asking about your personal experiences with chiropracty, your opinion of it as a treatment, your girlfriend's cousin's sister's experience with chiropractic treatments, or anything else like that.
