#ChiropracticAwarenessWeek day 3. It's important to be aware that there is no good evidence that the treatment shown here (chiropractic activator) provides any benefit

Amongst the most frequent misleading claims are those relating to the treatment of babies. This often involves the nonsense that is cranial osteopathy. There is no situation in which it is appropriate to take a baby to an osteopath

No UK osteopath or chiropractor should "specialise" in paediatrics. Cranial #osteopathy may well be "gentle" but it's also nonsense with no evidence of effectiveness. Why do these silly ideas persist? complementaryandalternative.wordpress.com/2020/11/09/m...

The image below is a perfect example of all that is wrong with #chiropractic. There is simply no way that chiropractic treatment could impact on the immune system, brain development or behaviour

Alternative medicine has rebranded over recent years to complementary and alternative medicine and then to integrative medicine. Whatever it's called, it remains a collection of pseudoscientific nonsense with no therapeutic value and is really an alternative TO medicine

Every child does deserve the best start in life but #chiropractic has no role to play in that. Chiropractors lack the necessary specialist expertise to assess or treat babies and the treatments they offer do not provide any benefit for any infant condition.

Many chiropractors continue to believe that they can "remove nerve interference" by "correcting spinal alignment" through the treatment of #chiropractic subluxations. This is complete nonsense and in reality there is no such thing as a chiropractic subluxation
