hey even if it is just the placebo if it still works and its not harmful who cares
I wonder if it’s a placebo effect. Like I go for a back massage every month or so and feel good for a few weeks but I’m fully aware it’s just muscle pain relief and not some permanent fix.

That’s the problem, chiropractors routinely injure and kill people.

I wasn’t mentioning chiropractors in specific, although I can see how it’d come across as such. I have no idea how safe or unsafe it is

Then you should educate yourself and never visit one if you value your well being. It’s an incredibly unsafe practice. Ask any Orthopedic Surgeon how many near permanent injuries they’ve had to fix from a botched chiropractic adjustment.

Muscle pain relief is pain relief. I don’t go to a chiropractor and I’m confident most of them are selling snake oil but I kinda view them as a next level masseuse.
If I were more comfortable with strangers touching me a massage might be nice. A chiropractor sounds like a next level up. I feel relief when I get a good back crack.

Massage therapy requires significantly more training than chiropractic does, at least in my area.
