Getting people to stretch, do specific exercises, etc. Is almost certainly very helpful, so in that sense they're not a scam. I think of them more as a personal trainer than a medical professional.

I always felt that most are until I met my current one in Chicago. He is amazing at his job.

Where I used to leave offices in the past feeling like a temporary fix, my doc almost always fixes both short and long term.

Chiropractic is not the most well regulated field. It has real medical benifits it wouldn’t be covered by health insurance if it didn’t. With that said if you go to one make sure they do more than just crack a back that’s not actually helpful. Real chiropractic should cover moving your muscles and joints as well as teaching you stretches and ways to maintain the limberness in those joints and muscles. Basically if you find a good one it’s way closer to physical therapy than the crap you see on tv

No. They are helpful. I had years of pain in my neck. One chiropractor fixed it in 4-5 sittings. Although she had given me a plan to visit her for months but i stopped going after 4-5 visits. Go iff u need some fix. Does not hurt.

Nope, chiropractors are very helpful. After spending 8+ years in the Army plus heavy lifting, I have good amounts of back pain - phase 2 arthritis at 34. I am now mostly pain free and feeling immensely better. All in all, I swear by them, and if I could do it all over again, I’d probably be a chiropractor. Maybe I can live vicariously through my son, lol

Not all chiropractors are equal. Most suck but there a few out there who are very good at their jobs, take their time with their patients, and actually help significantly with pain.

Many are, some are not. Mine is trained in methods beyond the crap you see on IG; he has helped me avoid neck surgery and is the only way I can resolve certain migraines I get. He's also quick to tell me what he cannot fix so we don't waste time if it's beyond his scope.

YES.

Some friends swear by them. I will prob never know.

Rare but had a friend go to a chiro for a message, somehow ends up giving her and adjustment - she had a stroke and is doing better but wow talk about a bad decision. Pinched nerve in the neck or something still in recovery 6 months later - just not worth it. Apparently this is somewhat common enough you can find peoples concerns on google.

Yes

Nope I had an amazing sports chiropractor that was great. Think it’s about finding a reputable one, someone you’ve been recommended to not Google searched or reviewed.

Chiropractors that focus on physical therapy may be helpful, but you should really look into seeing a Physical Medicine and Rehab (PM&R, also known as physiatry) doctor.

They are real licensed doctors and some focus on subareas like pain, sports, etc. where they focus on nonoperative pain intervention.

I had a bad experience with one and prefer to avoid, but had a martial arts teacher who had a medical license and was a chiro. I would have trusted him if needed. I see a sports MD for any injuries and physical therapist for any healing.
