it’s spiritualist woo-woo
That’s American chiropractors.
I go to a physiotherapist at the chiro clinic. Active rehab is the bomb.
Comment on YSK that treatments for back pain can cost thousands. But some of the best fixes are actually free

The first thing you need to know is that chiropractic is not a medical practice, it’s spiritualist woo-woo derived “from the other world”.
Save your money and see a physiotherapist instead, preferably one who knows who Dr Stuart McGill is.

Then you see a physiotherapist, not a chiropractor. The difference is significant. One believes in visions; the other believes in science.

It sure doesn’t feel spiritual when he’s physically cracking my spine back into place. It feels pretty damn real to me.

There’s no such thing as “cracking back in place” there’s no studies showing long term benefits. It’s basically an expensive, poorly implemented massage.
You may not believe it, but you’re significantly better off with physical therapy and an actual massage.
I know a lot of people feel relief from a chiropractor visit, but it’s not helping long term, and it can permanently injure you in some rare cases.

If any part of your spine is out of place that’s a serious medical issue that cannot be resolved by “Cracking it back into place”.
The cracking in your spine is synovial fluid changing from a liquid to gaseous state. The relief you feel after this happens is primarily in your mind as a sort of placebo effect.
