Chiros are definitely medical professionals. But I think there are more wanna be MD chiros than anything else
I’m a medical professional - chiropractor’s do not pass medical board exams and are not licensed by legitimate medical boards. Chiropractice is a pseudoscience with no evidence behind. I would love to see a chiropractor pass the USMLE step 1, step 2CK and CS, and step 3 exams - if they do, and follow up by completing at least one year of an accredited medical residency, then they can talk.
I tell my patients it is fine for them to spend their money however they want, including a chiropractor, especially if they feel it helps. However, let’s not try and pretend that they are true medical professionals worth listening to on legitimate medical topics.
