A Skeptic (Me) Talks To A Chiropractor. Does He Change My Mind?

Episode Description

I’ve always had a strong bias against chiropractic care. But when I met Dr. Scott Salita, a chiropractor who was willing to have a real, evidence-based, and open-minded conversation, I decided to challenge my own assumptions. We sat down for an honest discussion about where chiropractic care truly helps, where it crosses the line, and how patients can make smart, safe choices.

Key Takeaways:

  • Consider chiropractic care if you have back or neck pain—it’s a legitimate option for many people.
  • Do your homework. Ask friends for recommendations, review websites for exaggerated claims, and check your state’s chiropractic board for any disciplinary actions.

  • Be your own advocate. Know your diagnosis, your treatment plan, and expected results. If you’re not improving, seek a second opinion.

  • Watch out for red flags. Be skeptical of prepaid “treatment packages” or open-ended care plans. Chiropractors deserve to make a living—but not at the expense of your health or wallet.
