Welcome to Have A Crack, where I explore the evolving landscape of healthcare and delve into alternative approaches to pain management. In today's episode, join us as we unravel the growing trend of chiropractic care and its appeal, featuring real-life stories and evidence-based insights. In this episode, I delve into the appeal of chiropractic care, exploring why it has become a growing trend in healthcare. With approximately 35 million Americans seeking chiropractic care annually, according to the American Chiropractic Association, and a steady rise reported by the British Chiropractic Association in the United Kingdom, we explore the non-invasive nature of chiropractic care, providing a drug-free and surgery-free option for those grappling with back pain. A cornerstone of chiropractic care's popularity lies in its evidence-based foundation. Unlike some alternative therapies, chiropractic care is rooted in scientific studies supporting its efficacy in managing musculoskeletal conditions. I unpack a 2018 study published in the Spine Journal, revealing that chiropractic care led to greater improvements in pain and function compared to standard medical care. Further adding to chiropractic care's credibility, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK recommends manual therapy, including chiropractic care, for non-specific lower back pain. This endorsement from a reputable health organization reinforces chiropractic care as a viable option for relief without resorting to surgery or painkillers. As concerns about opioid addiction and the side effects of pain medication dominate the current healthcare landscape, we explore how chiropractic care offers a drug-free approach. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported nearly 50,000 opioid-related deaths in 2019, prompting a shift in public perception towards non-pharmacological options. Chiropractic care, with its emphasis on manual adjustments and rehabilitation exercises, emerges as a beacon of hope for those looking to avoid the pitfalls of opioid medications. Surgery is often viewed as a last resort for chronic back pain, with its invasive procedures and lengthy recovery periods. We examine a 2019 study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, demonstrating that chiropractic care can be a safe and effective alternative, reducing the need for surgery in many cases. However, as chiropractic care gains popularity, we emphasize the importance of informed decision-making. The Advertising Standards Agency in the UK has strict guidelines to prevent misleading claims in health-related advertising. We guide listeners on how to verify a chiropractor's adherence to evidence-based practices and professionalism through registration with the General Chiropractic Council and affiliations with reputable chiropractic associations. Are we witnessing a move towards more natural and preventive measures in healthcare? As we navigate this landscape, it is vital to stay informed, consult with healthcare professionals, and make decisions aligning with individual needs and preferences.

Simon Singh is an author focusing on science and mathematics for the general public. His books include Fermat's Enigma: The Epic Quest to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem, The Code Book, and Big Bang. He has produced a number of documentaries for television on science topics, and is a trustee of the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, and the National Museum of Science and Industry, both in the United Kingdom. He is currently being sued for libel by the British Chiropractic Association for comments he wrote in a column in The Guardian. His newest book, co-authored with Dr. Edzard Ernst, is Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts about Alternative Medicine. In this conversation with D.J. Grothe, Simon Singh talks about being an open-minded skeptic regarding complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). He discusses the efficacy of various CAM treatments, such as detox programs, homeopathy, and acupuncture. He examines the origins and claims of chiropractic, whether it works, and how it may be dangerous. He talks about the limits of scientific inquiry, and when a CAM claim might justifiably be dismissed. He discusses the funding of research into CAM versus the funding of its marketing. He explores the reasons why people continue using such treatments despite the lack of scientific data showing that it works. He explains the placebo effect and its legitimate therapeutic uses, and details the harm that some CAM treatments can cause even if they do work. He shares his opinions about why passions among skeptics and believers regarding CAM are so heated, giving advice to both the CAM and scientific communities. And he gives reasons for speaking out regarding CAM despite the possible negative repercussions from various quarters of the CAM community.
