John Stockton, a famous NBA player who was known for his durability, lack of injuries, and longevity in the league, attributes his health to the team chiropracter working his magic on him. He missed four games over 18 years.
>The Stockton paradox is his remarkable health while openly rejecting medical orthodoxy. Early in his career, it was less an outright repudiation and more a convenient dismissal — “He didn’t tape his ankles,” recalled Craig Buhler, one of the team chiropractors, with some amusement — but as his body began to show wear, he started searching for alternative methods to care for it.
>As a rookie, when Stockton’s more aged teammates lined up at Buhler’s makeshift office in the Salt Palace after practices and games, Stockton scoffed. Buhler worked under head trainer Don Sparks as an unpaid chiropractor. His skills were a thing of legend among Jazz players, but to newcomers like Stockton, it seemed unconventional.
>It wasn’t until his second season, after a cortisone shot wore off and some lingering lower back pain returned, that Sparks sent Stockton to see Buhler. Stockton describes the visit in miraculous tones. “Five minutes, and I didn’t have back pain anymore,” Stockton said.
>It was the genesis of a long friendship between the two men. Stockton would visit Buhler frequently, and Buhler would work his magic — or, as Buhler styles it, his “advanced muscle integration technique,” a form of chiropractic care that he claims promotes the body’s ability to heal itself. “Nature isn’t stupid,” Buhler would say. During the hours of treatment, the two men would talk about their families, their values and their politics.
Are chiropracters quacks practicing alternative medicine or is there actual evidence-based science to their claims? Stockton is also antivaxx so he's obviously a pretty level-headed who does his own research.

>back hurts
>crack back
>back feels good
obviously it works. the "scam" is paying somebody to crack your back when you can do it yourself.

But you literally can't do it yourself. Its your back, you need someone else who can go behind you to do anything with it.
The scam of chiropractors is treating it as anything other than "back crack feel good." No one says you can cure all diseases with Shiatzu massage

I can crack every single part of my back myself. Just learn how to do more effective stretches.

Fact check: false. John Stockton is happily married and has multiple offspring.

This has been debunked. See >>16157116

>white guy in mostly black league is the only one with a work ethic
not so sound racist or anything, but why is it always like this? whats wrong with blacks that makes them so predictably lazy? why are they such bellyachers? is it genetic?
