I went to a chiropractor after I had an accident. He actually help me with the therapy he gave me, so recommend them. I was happy with the results.

I went to a chiropractor for about four months after a car accident. I thought they were great help. I still have some residual pain every once in a while, but for the most part they pretty much "fixed" my neck and back problems.

I used to go to one. I have back problems, and they where helpful. I had one chiropractor that could pinpoint knots in my neck and was very good adjusting it. I especially looked forward to seeing a chiropractors when i was sick and my head was congested as well. A good neck adjustment just clears up all the systems instantaneously. It only lasted maybe an hour or so, but it just feels so good to have all symptoms of a cold clear up instantaneously. I just wish insurance companies where more willing to pay for these kinds of alternative therapies.

I think its just a big conspiracy. We may never know but I will look into it for you.

Chiropractic risks far outweigh the benifits that can be achieved. From a scientific perspective, Chiropractic can treat twisted or out-of-place vertebrae of the spinal column, and treat lower back pain.

However there are no other benefits that can be provided by chiropractic. Minor issues with the spine that cause headaches and other ailments are only very temporarily treated by the practice (this is why you need to go back weekly or more often.)

Adjustments of the spine are extremely dangerous and have caused documented strokes ans seizures due to the adjustments causing the spinal column to make contact with the major blood vessels leading into and out of the brain. Adjustments of the neck should be illegal for this reason (chiropractors are NOT medical doctors)

If you have a severe subluxation or lower back pain only, go to a chiropractor and only for a month or two. do NOT let them mess around with your neck.

Some chiropractors are professional about this, others are not. Essentially it is quackery that has some benefits the trick is how to figure out who is legit and who isn't

I was suffereing some acute lower back pain mid last year, I don't remember hurting it I just woke up one day and it was sore, I considered going to see one.

Set me back in the gym for a few months but its all good now and I'm back to deadlifting 200% my body weight. I use back support now when going to maxes for Deadlifts and bent over rows, even though I'm not sure I hurt my back in the gym since I've allways been very carefull with my form and alignment.

I made the mistake when I was young by having a friend of mine "pop" my back (where they lift you really fast to supposedly help straighten your spine),

It caused a disc to slip and pinched several nerves in my spine. I've had it worked on by a professional, but my back has been a mess ever since. In another 5-6 years, I'll probably be walking around like Egore, if I'm able to walk at all.

PROTIP: NEVER let anyone pop your back who isn't a trained professional. It can seriously fuck you up.
