Mormons Like Chiropractors

While Mormons do not completely corner the market as they do in dentistry, Mormons certainly have more their share of bone crushers. The presence of chiropractors in places where Mormons make up a solid chunk of the population (like Utah) is similar to that of organic pot growers in Berkeley.

Of course, places loaded with Mormons would not have so many chiropractors if places loaded with Mormons did not demand their services. What is that draws Mormons to chiropractors?

There seems to be several contributing factors. First, plenty of of Mormons get their backs out of whack because they spend so many of their weekends helping other Mormons move. And, why shouldn't Mormons rely on Mormons when they move? After all, if Mormons were not Mormons, they probably would not have that piano and all that heavy food storage to move.

Second, there is another chunk of Mormons who get injured doing official church activities. Chief among these are injuries related to church basketball: there are those injured when hacked and those injured while hacking. And, then there are those injured while doing actions to songs in Primary. "Once there was a snow---Oh Man! My back!"

Third, other Mormons have bad backs because Mormons spend so much time sitting in church. Three hours of sitting is the bare minimum on any given Sunday. Sometimes, church goes into extra innings, and some Mormons have plenty of other meetings on Sunday that often go by acronyms like PEC but not NCMO.

Lastly, many Mormons go to the chiropractor because--whether it be stress or something else--they are afraid that if they do not go to the chiropractor, they will become stiff necked. And, stiff neckedness is something Mormons really hope to avoid.
