I knew you never tried it!
Thanks for answering the survey.
I can't you say obviously never had back pain, because I've known people who do get chronic backpain that would rather suffer for ages than try a chiropractor. But that's their choice. It works great for me.
Now I'm totally against quacks. I'm not religious and I'm not into scientology. I can also fully understand the sentiment of not having necessarily to have tried something to be sceptical. I'm just saying, that as someone that has suffered from really bad back pain from a motorcycle accident, that back cracking thing that chiropractors do is a bit a of life saver. And I'm also noticing that there is a lot of criticism from people who haven't tried it. I understand where they come from, but it's still noticable that these people have not been in a situation where they had bad back pain and tried it. So from a scientific point of view they are still commenting from a position of pure speculation. Which is equally unscientific.
Think about it dude. Throw aside all of the "meta" explanation that they often have which I also take with a grain of salt and just think about the effect that untangling bunches of signal wires might possibly have on the a well functioning computer system.
I've proven this to myself numerous times. It just works.
I "suspect" that part of the problem is that chiropractors understand techniques that indeed work, but "maybe" they themselves haven't been able to fully understand the reasoning why and thus the typical human reaction to try and come up with some explanation (Much like religion) kicks in. However, to me I damn well works. That's just my take on it. I'll still see chiropractors when my back or neck is bad cause they fix me. A traditional doctor will only issue an anti-imflamatory or pain killer, which does little to quickly sort out my problem.
