    I know of a handful of people who have had positive results from Chiropractic adjustment, but usually only after extensive assessment and in conjunction with other therapy.
    
    My mother's back is permanently f*cked up due to repeated visits to a poor chiropractor. I'd like to pay a visit to his spine, just for a bit.
    
    Thanks for posting this.

      I have known a number of people who claim that as well.
      
      They would probably have gotten the same result going to a spa and getting a nice massage. Would have cost less too.

        The other factor is that a lot of back pain resolves itself with time (doctors speak rather poetically about "the tincture of time") and sometimes the very act of doing something (no matter what) helps the person feel relieved and cared for (and "better").
