No they are bullshit (literally)
The man who invented chiropractic was a snake oil salesman in Iowa who claimed a ghost told him to crack someone’s neck and it would cure their deafness (not kidding)
The first chiro school is still named for him
They are not doctors, they are not licensed or accredited by anyone but themselves.
Do yoga and lift weights and stretch and be more active/less sedentary instead
kong, i disagree with some of this. Above and beyond everything it depends how good he is.
Roger Craig, Evander Holyfield are just a handful who attribute weekly adjustments that added to their longevity and less injuries in their careers.
As I've said many times, my son was a sprinter and a damn fast one. OT, but I'm also a stride counter. (I.E. horses and humans in running events at specific distance, I video frame to frame).
As a 6th grader I took my son for an adjustment cause his stride length and fluidity was not as
I thought it should be.
Sure enough, his pelvis had been tilted 3/4" off dead level, which caused his right stride to be fractionally less than the left. One adjustment later and in less than a week he ran the 100 meter dash in 2 less strides and took .2 off his time. He wasn't faster, per se, he was just more efficient in his strides. So, in the right situation it is helpful.
I'm in total agreement about yoga, stretching and getting up and moving. Even when I get wrapped up on the internet I have my phone alarm set every hour to just get up and stretch and go for a quick walk.
