The only thing that works to relieve back pain is chiropractics and MRIs. Maybe surgery too, depending on how unnecessary it is.

Not only is it fake, but IMO looks potentially dangerous. (especially if you have a back injury that could get aggravated)

I bet they got Xrays and interpreted them without the help of a radiologist to show how misaligned you were too.

They can help with certain back pain and some spinal alignment issues. I would suggest going to a chiro before going under the knife tbqh, especially if the pain is due to a car accident or work accident.

That being said, the industry is notorious for scam artists. I'd look for a chiropractor that has more of a rehab style that incorporates stretching and the like. If someone starts pushing the idea that chrio can cure sickness run the fuck away.

My Chrio actually had a radiologist on staff.

I admit he is probably the exception to the rule though. He pushes a hybrid style of alternative and traditional medicine and hires all sorts of medical professionals to handle things he isn't licensed to do.

Chiropractic Care has approximately the same positive effect as therapeutic massage with the added bonus of being painful and has a chance to paralyze you.

So what does he do that your PCP, a physical therapist, and a radiologist can't do better?

Yup, it's hasn't been proven to be any better than a good massage. Here's a good video of the history of it and some of the people doing it today:

Managed to eliminate my back pain while my actual doctor and the physical therapist she sent me to suggested I needed surgery.

What they did different? I guess give a shit and tried. I can't give you specifics as this was over a decade ago now. I'm willing to just say it was a matter of my doctors being shit if that makes you happy, though.

Your spine does not misalign

It's quackery

People have a misconception that just because chiropractic isn't paralyzing everyone makes it good.

Well, I didn't have to pay for it anyway. I wasn't at fault.

When my three year old was about a month old she was always colicy and rarely slept longer than two hours at any time. Chiropractor made a small adjustment on her back, colic went away and she slept 5 hours straight that afternoon. She slept through the night every night after that.

What does a spinal adjustment even mean? Where have your vertebrate moved to? If you some kind of significant spine issue, you need more than some hard squeezing and rubbing.

Do they align your chakras while they're at it?

I have no experience with them but a guy at my work has back pain because of something with his sciatic nerve and he swears by a chiropractor that he goes too.

The thing we this is that a chiropractor can help with temporary relief but at the same time being doing lasting damage to you as well.

I can't believe people go to chiropractors. The "science" behind it is completely made up, and they've paralyzed or killed plenty of people. Shrewd chiropractors are careful not to do much of anything so that they don't actually hurt you, and yet get you to keep coming back. No lie, the guy in the town I grew up in would lay you down on a table face down, give you a massage, and then take a device out from his desk that made noise and wave it over your back saying it was a special tool to align the spine.

I'm pretty sure the success stories from the ones who actually crack backs are stories of chiropractors getting lucky. I was once in so much referred pain that I thought I was going to die, but then I fell over, heard something pop in my back, and then felt good as new. I'd imagine a chiropractor could have gotten lucky trying to work on my back, but that would have been the extent of his or her talents. They can't even read x-rays!
