Some anecdotal evidence: I went to a chiropractor when I was first starting out as a programmer because the base of my neck was in a lot of pain from staring at the monitor. I didn’t get the whole “adjustment“ thing but putting me on a tens unit with a hot compress really did the trick.

A lot of what chiros do now is basic physical therapy. When used in conjunction with typical chiro manipulation, it’s quite helpful for the aches and pains of life.

That’s why I hesitate to completely agree with an article like this. I’ll be the first to admit chiropractic limitations. However, there are real benefits when used appropriately. The problem is when the chiropractors get out over there skis, and start talking about solving all of the bodies problems through alignment alignment of the spine.

The (completely false) theory underlying chiropracty says that it can do .. basically everything. That's supposed to be a feature.

The 'problem' is not chiropractors failing to stay in their lane - If they follow the theory, their lane includes everything.

The problem is that the theory is still being taught, despite being trivially disproven since the invention of the x-ray.

So go to a physiotherapist. Not someone that also serves a dose of magic woo.
