Oh, are you a chiropractor? - No, but I went to one once.

If you've ever been to Cleveland Heights Ohio you'll know that it is chuck-full of people and almost all of those people it's full of have one thing in common: backs.  Yep, Ohio is almost all people with backs which brings me to a subject I've been meaning to discuss with you: the chiropractic industry.

Just to be clear for everyone reading who has been in to see a chiropractic professional; going to one once, or even several times doesn't certify you as a chiropractic professional.  In fact, I'm pretty sure that chiropractic professionals have to go to school, it might even be a medical school of sorts.  I'm not positive but I think there is a fair chance.

Why is it that with the chiropractic industry everyone thinks that a visit constitutes training?  No one is ever like,

"What?  You got a headache?  Probably a tumor.  I had to get brain surgery for that once - here, sit down, I'll take care of it for you."

The chiropractic industry is the only industry this happens in.  It doesn't even happen with oil changes.  Some people won't even try changing a tire after seeing it done, but for some reason, in the chiropractic industry, once anyone sees it, they all think they've learned it.  It's ridiculous.
