"Instead of constantly going to a doctor for your back pain, just see a chiropractor. The doctor can only treat your symptoms, you'll be going to them your whole life."

If a chiropractor adjusting your back does better for you than going to a medical doctor then I am happy for you, but the argument of "the doctor can only treat symptoms so you'll have to keep going back" is meaningless propaganda *when you also keep going to the chiropractor*

2. The symptoms are the problem.
