A major source of the trolling stems from a lack of understanding or misinformation about chiropractic care. Many people view it as an alternative therapy without scientific backing, despite research showing that it can be beneficial for certain musculoskeletal issues like back pain or neck discomfort. While some trolls focus on the potential risks of spinal manipulation, others mock the seemingly exaggerated relief patients express in viral videos after adjustments.
Despite this, many patients continue to report positive outcomes from chiropractic care, creating a divide between practitioners and skeptics online. The trolling reflects broader discussions about the legitimacy of alternative medicine, as well as the fine line between entertainment and professional healthcare on social media.
