Careful, you’ll upset the friends of chiropractic here. :)
Personally, I think chiropractic is mostly quackery, but some people do seem to at least get some symptomatic relief from them, which as often as not is about all medical establishment can do for you, either.

In a different time I did some communal living, once when I had a medical problem a gorgeous blond started bringing me medicinal teas and nursing me. I was convinced that the tea was doing nothing for me but that the process was wonderful.
Over the years I have paid attention to the “healing” process including, in the army watching as on long field exercises some of the guys visited the medic where it appeared to me they were only receiving mental healing, the medic agreed with me, and he knew that it was a large part of the role he played.
I don’t know if Chiropractors actually heal, or if it simply is hard not to improve under that method of nurturing.
I had a ruptured disc eight years ago; couldn’t even walk or stand up. Went to a chiropractor that uses the “Gonstead” method. I still go three times a year and I’ve never felt better!
