I’m not looking for medical advice, but more understanding. I have chronic back pain. I can alleviate it completely with only 2 things - alcohol and a heating pad. Ibuprofen lessens it but it’s still present. Muscle relaxers do nothing (which makes sense because it’s not muscle related, it’s spinal disk degeneration).
A tall glass of whiskey makes my back relax and I can move normally. Once it wears off tho, it’s right back to tense and painful.
It’s considered complementary therapy in modern medicine, much like physical therapy or massage work. I understand where you are coming from, but chiropractic work, when done by LEGIT practitioners is immensely helpful to millions of people and is also recommended by doctors and physical therapists all the time.
Perhaps you should brush up on the modern takes on chiro. https://www.healthline.com/health/is-chiropractic-pseudoscience https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/chiropractic-adjustment/about/pac-20393513
