Chiropractic videos are gaining popularity on social media, showcasing what seems like miraculous recoveries in minutes. However, some medical professionals caution against the misleading nature of these videos, which could lead viewers to believe in instant cures or attempt risky procedures. The trend has sparked debate within the chiropractic community, with concerns raised about the lack of substantial evidence supporting these practices and the persistence of outdated theories like 'subluxation.' Despite some positive feedback from patients, questions remain about the safety and efficacy of chiropractic treatments, especially for young children.

Such a disturbing trend. Reality: very little good evidence to support (placebo theatre?), risks, AND many chiros still embrance 100% BS "subluxation" theory. Why Is Everyone on TikTok Suddenly Going to the Chiropractor? https://t.co/Sb3JMTqRGx by @derrickbryson
Chiropractic videos are going viral on social media. But some doctors say they are misleading, potentially leading patients to think miracle cures are available with one pop of the spine — or even to try the procedures themselves. https://t.co/5yL3cEzeHe
