I think the idea is awesome. There may be some sketchy practioners that got licensed before there were as many regulations. Go talk to a few. Ask about their education.

Works as long as you keep going. But not lasting unless lifestyle changes. Have a cousin who does it, not a hack, but this is truth, it is a maintenance program, not a solution.

If you've got back pain it can help, sometimes.

A good chiropractor is a godsend. You really dont think about all the nerves that intertwine in your spine until they are hurting.
A couple visists may help alleviate some more immediate symptoms, but going for multiple sessions is required to really reset your alignment and get your body back to as close to normal as can be.
I am a career roofer and so I continually put my body through the same things that got it out of whack in the first place; so I go semi regularly these days. Some people opt not to go as often and feel a lot better after an adjustment every month or so.
Either way I hands down say that a chiropractor will do a lot more for back pain than your general practitioner. Plus if you have a hot female chiro...tell her your sciatic nerve is acting up and she'll rub your butt ....if shes worth her degree

One of the guys up at the office building I work at goes to a chiropractor and he said the first 10 times he went it worked great but then the last time he went he said he couldn't walk normal for like 2 weeks...
he's not going back anymore

I went to one and thought the back cracks were pretty sketchy, and didnt really do anything other than freak me out. I heard on the radio some guy said "most peoples back pain is psychologcially / stress induced" which i am happy to believe because my back is not too straight and even a little broken from an old accident but now days doesnt hurt ever

Fuck no they're not.
I used to joke about wanting one, until a few friends pitched in and bought one for my birthday. Those things will fuck your back up.
You know what'll make you're back feel great? Sleeping on the floor. I started doing it recently, and my back has never felt better in my life. Sleeping in a hammock leaves you're back feeling great too, but something about the angle makes me snore so bad it wakes me up.

Say what you want about chiropractors but when you're in a pinch, they've got your back.

A chiropractor left me with a likely permanent pinched nerve in my neck and chronic (literally 24/7) headaches and nerve pain throughout the right side of my neck and face, diagnosed as occipital neuralgia.
I had 3 or 4 "adjustments" done after throwing my back out, and they left me with over-manipulation syndrome in my neck which is essentially over strethed ligaments, which don't heal themselves. This caused cercical instability which led to pretty much permanent muscle knots and spasm in my shoulder/neck that constantly compress the nerve that goes to the whole right side of my face. Fun stuff
I'd stay the fuck away. If you're in severe pain they'll get you on your feet a few days sooner if their back cracks reset the right pain signals, but most of what they promote is quackery with short-term benefits at best. Not to mention the risk of injury and possible increased stroke risk from the adjustments.
A TENS/EMS unit and massage gun can be just as good for acute pain as a back crack. For long-term relief you really need a lot of full body stretching and strenghthening, plus postural work and good biomechanics
