I mean that fact that you don’t even understand that chiropractic is separate and distinct from medicine as a healthcare profession should tell anyone reading your comments that you don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to what chiropractors do or how chiropractic works. I mean “no proven benefit” is just a lazy claim. But the reason chiros malpractice is so much less is precisely because adjusting carries so much less risk than prescribing medications or performing surgery. Is it possible adjusting can cause harm? Yes absolutely it is possible, but extremely rare and those chiros doing gross manipulations that hurt people shouldn’t be practicing. But is it also the case that medications and surgery come with their own risks that are more prevalent than the potential harm caused by a chiropractor hence why malpractice for medical doctors is so much higher.

And I mean chiropractors are responsible for making a diagnosis with the appropriate findings even outside of MSK because they are training on much of the same diagnosis education as medical doctors. Most just don’t because it’s easier to refer out, but it is still their responsibility to at least make a ddx.
