I’ve never been, but I have lots of friends who have and they swear by it. The only downside (for them) is that they have to keep going *forever* as the treatments only offer relief and don’t actually fix anything.

Well, it's hard to say if they fix something or not simply based on the fact that pain returns. A back can be re-injured. A person can do something stupid and pull a muscle or whatever -- again. Muscle tone can remain weak and unhelpful. Etc. It's not like most back pain is from a broken back. It comes and goes. A "fix" is relief.

I do not doubt that chiropractors can't fix some of the things medical doctors fix. However, I know more people who have had ongoing problems with their backs after surgery than after visiting a chiropractor.
