What do you know about chiropractic services which deals exclusively with the brain-body connection?

I have heard such explanations among other rationales for the mode of action of chiropractic adjustments. Before my serious injury, I found chiropractic treatments made me feel better.

Since my injury in a serious car crash, I have found that they only increase my pain and its duration. The rationale of the chiropractor does not seem to make a difference in outcomes.

Total quackery—not a shred of any scientific basis whatsoever. Legalized consumer fraud. The functioning of your central nervous system needs no help from chiropractors.

“You pays your money & takes your chances.”

Who knew you could attach so many claims to the releasing of nitrogen deposits from the vertebrae.

Seriously – it’s exactly as beneficial as cracking your knuckles. It makes me giggle that my mother used to tell me all the time as a youngster that I was giving myself arthritis due to knuckle-cracking, and now she’s paying $60 a visit for a chiropractor to snap her back.

Whew! @gasman took the words right out of my mouth.
I disagree with @Seek_Kolinahr partly in that cracking your knuckles is harmless. You’re not going to get permanently paralyzed by cracking your knuckles.

Chiropractors are scammers, regardless of specialisation.

I work from a science base and for the life of me I can’t see any science here, it frightens me when people put their faith in this type of potentially dangerous activity.

You all are great! I love you guys!

I went to 4 appointments with an upper cervical chiropractor. One of them was a 2 hour class explaining the theory, procedure and results of adjusting the skull and atlas vertebra. The “doctors” in the office were all so confident and sure of themselves in what they were doing that people including myself actually start to become true believer. The chief doctor was also very charismatic and persuasive. The “adjustment” to my skull and atlas vertebra was the lightest touch to my neck that I could hardly feel. After 2 x-rays I was told that my skull/atlas was adjusted 5 degrees. I thought to myself who are they trying to kid? They did nothing to me. And for 9 months of such treatments they wanted $4,536. HA! No. I don’t think so. I think that if any patient realizes any success from this practice then it is likely the cause of the placebo effect.
