hiesenberg34, I understand your position because I'm older and skeptical. Also because I don't think chiropractics helps everyone. Plus the concept seems a little crazy. So fifty years ago I went with a friend, almost as a lark, but my knee pain was immediately gone. Coincidence, I thought. By now I've seen more chiropractors that anyone has a right to. Like every profession, some good, some neutral. Some better with the neck, some unbeatable with the hip. And I've never been hurt by a chiropractor.
I have slight soliosis and the torsion displaces specific areas the SI joint and the ribs at T1 and T2. I'm in the office for 15minutes the adjustment take about 6 minutes.
The deepest value is the first assessment. Chiropractors understand whole spine mechanics . And they can tell you exactly what activity, muscle and joint is involved.
The best thing about this forum is the diversity of ideas. So, I thank you and respect your response. And I'm not going to call you anything but thoughtful and generous for expressing your experience.
