Jordan Shallow on Chiropractic for Weightlifters

Published: April 19, 2019, 1 p.m.

Chiropractic is a controversial subject in the fitness community.

On the one hand, some people claim it can fix all kinds of aches, pains, and ailments ranging from low-back pain to indigestion, headaches, brain fog, and more.

On the other hand, some say that chiropractic is a pseudoscientific discipline run by greedy charlatans who provide absolutely no value beyond the placebo effect.

And if you poke around on the Internet and there\u2019s plenty evidence of the latter, what with the myriad Internet \u201cgurus\u201d who use their \u201cDoctor of Chiropractic\u201d credentials to mislead people into thinking they\u2019re medical doctors and thus experts on anything and everything related to health and wellness.

What\u2019s the real story though? Is chiropractic a science or a sham?

Well, that\u2019s what prompted me to invite Jordan Shallow on the show. Jordan\u2019s a licensed chiropractor but also a high-level strength coach and competitive powerlifter, and in this interview, he helps shed light on the pros and cons of chiropractic, how it works, why people use it, and how it can and can\u2019t benefit you, and more.
