I've done some research on this and it seems there is some evidence that what chiropractors do, Spinal Manipulation Therapy, is effective when combined with traditional medicine and physical therapy at reducing chronic back pain (and can help some people manage it with reduced pain management medication which is a plus!) However if a chiropractor tells you they can fix your stomach or headaches or anxiety by cracking your back they're a quack.
- hirundo 5y agoStrong disagree with regard to headaches. I've had immediate relief from debilitating headache pain after an adjustment.
- abz10 5y agoI have hEDS hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (so does possibly 2% of the population.) The vast majority don’t who have it don’t know it. My stomach issues and headaches are caused by joint problems with a likely vagus nerve link. It’s entirely possible that the kind of people the go to chiropractors could benefit in this way. They may be on to something without knowing exactly what.
