Mostly, yes. Cracking your joints can feel good. It’s not solving posture issues. And for goodness sakes, their foot baths are just an iron cattle trough warmers in salt water.
I had a chiropractor tell me he’ll get me fixed up for the weekend after I told him I had trouble sitting and standing with my sciatica. The dude only popped my back twice in less than 5mins and then charged us $80 for the day. I only went 3 times. My back never got better and they’ll definitely say that rest is not the answer and to cross your legs in ways that makes the pain worse. I don’t even think they know what to do really without a x-ray. You’re better off with a massager or masseuse. Only way I got better was through rest and one really good massage. But it’s hard to make time for rest if you work. Luckily I had unemployment at the time. Also I hurt my back again recently and found an unorthodox way of healing. The first time I got hurt, it lasted for 4-5 months. This second time recently lasted 2 months and I didn’t do it my way until a month in.
Personally I’ve had a good experience in the past.
As a competitive runner I was getting all sorts of different overuse injuries. The chiropractor was the only one who noticed that I had a limb length discrepancy.
And in the past, I’ve had cases where I had a muscle spasm in my neck or back they were able to fix it.
However, as I’ve got older I’m a bit more concerned about the idea of cracking or popping your back or neck vertebrae. It just seems a little bit dangerous to me.
Some people with chronic back pain have good results with a chiro.

A lot of people think they are, and they definitely don’t deserve the title of “Dr”
I think they believe what they practice but it’s utter bollocks and can end up making injuries worse.

My orthopedic doctor once told me “ Chiropractors are one trick ponies. If that trick doesn’t work you’re out of luck”
No they are cracks
Yep
