Not entirely true you need to do a little more research.

So, uh, what research have you done that would unseat the general consensus of medical professionals? What are your credentials that would cause other medical professionals to give serious regard to the results of your research?

I mean, going with "I did my own research" is not exactly a compelling argument, if I'm being honest.

Sidenote: proper punctuation is a good thing if you are trying to convince people to take your points seriously.

He fell over a garbage can once and was all better.

To quote the NIH: The core concepts of chiropractic, subluxation and spinal manipulation, are not based on sound science.

Plus, chiropractors have a high rate of anti-vaxx beliefs compared to the general population, but especially compared to medical professionals. Seems like they are the last batch of people you'd want to entrust your health too. Especially if you are running a billion+ company that is utterly dependent on the health of your most important employees.
What does that have to do with anything? I couldn't care less if a chiropractor takes vaccines or not.

I can't believe we're at a point where people are going "chiropractic isn't legitimate because the medical professionals said so!"

You should care if the Canucks' medical staff holds anti-scientific views. This shouldn't need to be explained.
As long as their views aren't interfering with the care they give to the team it doesn't concern me. You don't have to assume their views on vaccines have any bearing on their chiropractic work. There's no overlap there whatsoever.

This can't be a serious comment.

"Just because you don't think leeching is a beneficial medical practice doesn't mean you should disregard trepanation out of hand."

The overt willingness to disregard medical science should absolutely be raising ginormous red flags if you think that the health of Canucks' players matters to team success.

I can't believe this is a conversation that is happening.

Also we’ve literally had this exact same conversation about chiropractors in a previous Pettersson thread. It doesn’t need to be rehashed.

A quick search shows that Tampa, Vegas, Florida, Colorado, etc all have chiropractors on their staff.

Seems pretty commonplace.

I bet they'd be worried if this was a contract year. What do they have to worry about now? They got their money.
Wait, why isn't his agent bringing up the fact that Pettersson is injured?

He's willingly letting his biggest client get crucified by the fans and media, despite knowing that it's not Pettersson's fault???

That now makes Pettersson's agent, Rick Tocchet, Sergei Gonchar, Adam Foote, Jim Rutherford, Patrick Allvin, JT Miller and Quinn Hughes who are all very aware of the fact that Pettersson has been playing injured for 9 months and have not once stepped up to defend him or correct the record.

I can't believe everyone is against Pettersson! I almost don't want to believe it...

But the only other alternative might be... he's not injured!? And he's just playing poorly?

No way. I refuse to believe that. It makes way more sense that everyone around him hates him and are willingly letting him get thrown under the bus.

Slightly off topic here.


My spine is literally slightly crooked in a "S curve" (i honestly dont know how to describe it in english, sorry. I think it's scoliosis)
having seen a chiropractor a couple of years ago, it worked wonders for the likes of me.
Albeit a temporary fix, the relief I got was amazing and the face I made was making my wife jealous. I could breathe, walk and workout better instantly.

So longstory short,
it absolutely works.
