Why do people here keep talking about chiropractors in relation to Bobert's problems? It was a massage therapist that he went to. Chiropractic and massage therapy are two different disciplines.

Having had both more than a few times, I can tell you that they are very different disciplines...although both of them naturally require having some specialized knowledge about how muscle tension occurs in the body.

I so far know about people who been messed up by treatment from...

chiropractors
regular MDs
surgeons
dentists
radiation therapy
chemotherapy
massage therapy
prescription drugs
psychotherapy
etc...

I also know people who've benefited greatly from most of the above...

(though I can't say for sure about the chemotherapy and the radiation therapy...but there are probably people who figure they've been helped by those too)

Point being: Any form of therapy, no matter how good it is when done right, can sometimes go wrong, because not all practitioners are perfect...and they are not gods. They can make mistakes, just like the rest of us.

I would not, for instance, swear off ALL dentists for the rest of my life because one dentist did a lousy root canal job on me...and I've heard some real horror stories about dentistry gone wrong, let me tell you. Scary stuff.
