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.
If OP does do that, please, please, please get informed on what the history is around chiropractic adjustment, and then determine which practitioner (not doctor since they aren’t medically licensed) fits your needs and acceptable methodology.
Chiropractic practice originated around spiritualism, and to some it’s a con man’s version of osteopathic treatment.
Chiropractic adjustment reportedly works for some people, but there are many practitioners out there that may do more harm than good.

But they’re a doctor. They get the title Dr from being a doctor and not a chiro. Chiros are allowed to call themselves doctors in many places for some damn reason.

That’s what they are saying.

citation needed, because as far as I know, no efficacy from ‘chrio’ has ever been demonstrated, this is not surprising since its not science based.

Chiropractic was literally invented by a man who didn’t feel like he needed to go to medical school. It is not based in science. This is not some new misinformation campaign. It has been well known, since the inception of it. Do some research on it if you don’t believe me. It’s quackery. It’s nice that it seems to have helped you. But again, not science.
