Question by Relationship_issues: What do chiropractors believe about diabetes control?
I know that they are an alternative medicine type doctor, and that they can’t write prescriptions, which for a doctor sounds a little suspicious to me, but wondered specifically what a chiropractor doctor believed about diabetes control? Do they believe/ support insulin for treatment or have the belief that diabetes can be controlled with back adjustments and a better diet?

They are not M.D.s; only physicians, dentists and (surprisingly) podiatrists can write prescriptions. Also in some states pharmacists and optometrists. Nothing suspicious about that, especially since they don’t use drugs in their treatments.

They don’t consider it a cure (at least the legit ones don’t), but rather that it can be used as part of integrative treatment.
