A professional who specializes in a system of therapy that involves treating the patient, often suffering from a personality disorder, with a dose of common-sensical advice aimed at adjusting said character flaws. This is usually done by questioning their motivations and career/financial goals while refraining from practicing negative reinforcement or punishment. Most patients resist and therefore continue down their current destructive path. Coined by Superfan Giovanni Giorgio on the Adam Carolla Show(1/17/13).
Adam Carolla: Hey Tara, when you screen the calls for tonight's Loveline, can you limit the suicide ones, please?
(Tara laughs while watching "The Simpsons" on TV)
Adam Carolla: HEY!! Let's focus. You've got a job to do. Now I was saying I'd like less-
Tara: You're not my boss!!
Adam Carolla: Whoa, someone's in desperate need of an emotional chiropractor.

Get the chiropractor mug.Steven Kyle Zych II and any and all of his 'friends'/associates who have never left chicopee but instead remain to take up space and waste everyone's time, as well as smoke more weed than they can afford, which doesn't turn out to be much because they all will forever remain in the lower class financially.

Get the Chicopee Crew mug.A quack. Psuedo-science mixed with con-artistry and more attention to patient relationships creates a winning$$$ combination. The buzz work of chiropractic "Subluxations" have never been shown on an x-ray.

Chiropractic is based on the vitalistic theory that human beings are self-regulating, self-maintaining and self-healing organisms whose nervous systems control and coordinate all other systems of the body. Interference to the nervous system can happen over the course of one's life causing a lessening of the function of the body. Chiropractors reduce or correct these interferences and the body is able to express life through the nervous system once again, creating a healing environment.
The diagnosis and treatment of disease is the practice of medicine using drugs, radiation and surgery. It is interested in sickness and what causes people to die. Chiropractic is the location and correction of nerve pressure by adjusting the spine. It is interested in health and what makes people live.
