When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

Dangerous Medicine? An article on the front page of USA Today1 reports:
"Researchers estimate about 120,000 preventable deaths and 1 million injuries occur during the course of medical treatment each year."Assuming there are approximately 600,000 MDs, this equates to an average MD being involved in one preventable death every five years, and almost two unnecessary injuries every year. This is something to consider when comparing the risk of chiropractic care to that of medical treatment.
